Description

The Razorback is a design that excels at little, but is similarly deficient in few areas. Its ER Large Laser allows it to be effective at long-range, while the missiles and Machine Guns double as short-range firepower and anti-infantry weapons. Though the design is rather slow for a 'Mech of its size, it is rarely the slowest 'Mech on the field, either. Because of the 'Mech's general reliance on ballistic and missile weaponry, it does not have to worry about overheating under normal circumstances but is dependent on supply trains.

Armament

The RZK-9S includes a Defiance Model 6 ER Large Laser for long-distance fire, while its other weapons allow it to deal even more damage at close range. Perhaps the role the 'Mech is best suited for is in assaulting unarmored infantry. Its array of Coventry Light Autogun Machine Guns allow the 'Mech to make very short work of infantry platoons. The 'Mech is also well-suited to clean-up work with its Defiance Trak-Shot II Streak SRM-4. The short-range plinking weapons allow the Razorback to damage internal components that can cripple an enemy 'Mech without destroying it outright.

Variants

• RZK-9T - A product of interrupted supplies during the FedCom Civil War, the -9T removes all weaponry on the standard variant and replaces them with an ER PPC and four ER Medium Lasers, as well an additional double heat sink. BV (1.0) = 860
