Description

The Packrat is a speedy eight-wheeled vehicle that is designed for deep infiltration and sabotage. It is capable of carrying a squad of infantrymen and their gear, and, in a pinch, the interior can be modified into a sleeping area.

Armament

The Packrat is armed with a Harvester SRM-6 and a pair of Flamers for anti-infantry work. Despite this firepower it normally uses its high speed to evade combat, as its role is not to fight head-on.

    This variant a simple weapon swap. The flamer is exchanged for two forward firing medium lasers. BV (2.0) = 501[3]
  • SRM2
