Overview:
When you hear the term head hunters, it usually brings up thorughts of the
dreaded Exterminator or Spectre with their unique Chamelon Light Polarisation
Shield and Null Sig systems.
However, recent investigation into the Helm core and SLDF archives recently
uncovered a head hunter variant of the venerable Victor.
This also packed the dreaded CLPS and Null Sig, 14 double heat sinks to handle
the heat load. Weapons load out was very similar to the 9B, except taking a
pair of medium pulse lasers in place of the standard mediums and a Streak 2
rack, in place of the SRM 4.
Armour was fairly thin for this configuration to cover for the extra heat sinks
needed.
However, in a city environment, this would have be incredibly devastating in
the hands of an elite pilot.
Capabilities:
This is the epitome of an ambush tactics mech.
The CLPS with Null Sig makes the mech virtually invisible.
In a city this thing would be incredibly difficult to deal with unless you got
lucky.
In this current age the AC20 with precision ammo would be utterly devastating.
Battle History:
Not much is known about the history of this mech. It is noted this mech was
used by resistance members in prelude to General Kerensky arriving in the Sol
System.
Deployment:
Once again, not much is known about the deployment of this mech, however as
noted previously it was in hand with resistance members prior to General
Kerenskys Terran Campaign.
Variants:
One Possible variant would be to swap the AC20 for a gauss rifle, which would
swap its profile from guerrilla to sniper.
The VTR-9L is the closest comparison in that regard, and it is a widely
regarded sniper mech.
In the current era, one could incorporate a Light Engine, giving room for a
heavier weapons payload (Maybe a guass rifle with more medium pulse lasers).
