The principle weaponry is found with Four Diverse Optics Type 10 Small Lasers, with a Diverse Optics Extended Range Small Laser to round out its firepower.
For anti-infantry, the vehicle been given a pair of mini-machine guns.
The Scimitar MK II's increase speed is thanks to its 175-rated Fusion Engine, which is protected by 6.5 tons of StarGuard II Standard armor. To round out the vehicle's protection and aide friendly vehicles, the Scimitar MK II utilizes a Guardian ECM Suite.[4]
