'''Infernos''' are special missile ammunition that are a development of the incendiary weapons developed in the mid-20th century. They combine flammable chemicals with an adhesive compound to shower their targets with a burning gel. This gel is designed to increase a 'Mech's heat levels to the point where the DI computer shuts down the 'Mech. Inferno rounds are also effective at turning combat vehicles and battle armor into coffins for their crews, and are devastating against conventional infantry platoons.
