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.

Weapons and Equipment

The Packrat is armed with a Harvester SRM-6 forward supplied by a 2 ton ammo bin, and a Flamer to the rear 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 but to deliver and support the infantry.

  • ML 
    This 2798 variant a simple weapon swap. The flamer and infantry bay exchanged for two forward firing medium lasers. BV (2.0) = 501[3]
  • SRM2 
    This 2824 variant expands the infantry bay to a three ton space. The missile launcher had to be reduced to a SRM-2 with two tons of ammunition. BV (2.0) = 263[4]
