Anti-Personnel Pod

Description[edit]

An Anti-Personnel Pod (A-Pod) is a piece of equipment designed specifically for 'Mechs.

They can be used to attack conventional infantry that is occupying the same area as the 'Mech. It is a one-shot weapon and cannot be reused.[1]

A-Pods were developed by Clan Ghost Bear in 2850; they were later adopted by ComStar after the Battle of Tukayyid in 3055 and shortly after that by the rest of the Inner Sphere. No matter which technology base is used, the half-ton A-Pods function identically.[1]
