The 'Mech received the name '''''Stalking Spider''''' because it mounts enough [[jump jet]]s in the legs to rocket it to 150 meters in one jump. Because the [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarrior]] must move the legs during the jump, it appears that the design is crawling through the air like a spider, making it very impressive during drops. The ''Stalking Spider'' also uses [[MASC]] to move up to 119 km/h in short bursts. In addition to its respectable speed, the 'Mech is protected by eight tons of [[ferro-fibrous]] armor, and it uses eleven [[double heat sink]]s to manage its heat.<ref name=TRO3060/> ==Weapons and Equipment== The big gun on the ''Stalking Spider'' is its [[Type DDS "Kingston"]] [[ER PPC]], which allows it to deal a strong strike from long ranges. For close-up work, it has a pair of CCWP-14 [[SRM-4]] launchers and a pair of Series PPS-XIX [[Medium Pulse Laser]]s. While the design can build up a significant amount of heat if the MechWarrior constantly [[Alpha strike (Tactic)|alpha strike]]s, an experienced pilot should be able to manage the ''Stalking Spider'''s heat easily. The design can stay at long range and snipe with its ER PPC, then quickly close to finish off an opponent with its pulse lasers and missiles.<ref name=TRO3060/> ==Variants== *;''Stalking Spider'' 2 : This variant of the ''Stalking Spider'', introduced [[3060]], removes the PPC and missiles, but retains the pulse lasers. It adds a [[Heavy Large Laser]] and a [[Targeting Computer]] to direct the 'Mech's laser fire. This hunter-killer is aided by the inclusion of an [[Active Probe]] and [[Target Acquisition Gear|TAG]]. An additional [[double heat sink]] keeps heat levels manageable.
