Description

The Snake is a 'Mech that was built under the aegis of an Elemental hunter. With the power of hindsight though the Snake is clearly designed to hunt Inner Sphere Battle Armor suits. The 'Mech is built using a Vox 225 XL Engine to move at a top speed of 86.4 kph. The Snake also has a jumping capability of one hundred and fifty meters making it capable of outmaneuvering any battle armor suit and also keeping it on par with most medium 'Mechs. The Snake is also armored with seven tons of armor and uses double heat sinks to cool the 'Mech's excess heat.

Armament

The Snakes primary weapon is a Mydron Excel LB-X Autocannon/10 which can fire both standard rounds as well as firing cluster rounds which act like 'Mech sized shotgun shells. The 'Mech is also armed with three Hovertec Streak SRM-2s which are highly effective in finding weak spots in an enemy's armor or against Inner Sphere battle armor.

Variants

  • SNK-2B - The 2B variant of the Snake is a modification of the 'Mech that uses Stealth Armor to make the 'Mech harder to target. In order to do this one of the Streak SRM-2 launchers has been removed from the 'Mech and an ECM Suite has been added to the 'Mech. BV (1.0) = 994, BV (2.0) = 1,081
