Quad 'Mech Turret

[BATTLEMASTER]

I've been messing around with some quad 'mech designs and have a question:  Can weapons in any torso of a quad 'mech be mounted in a quad 'mech turret, or only the weapons in the same location as the turret's critical slot?

Hey there :)

Its either/or.

Lets say you have a Mech with an ER PPC in the left torso and 3 Medium pulse lasers in the right.

You can have a Turret in either the left torsp, or the right, so you could put either the pulse lasers, or the PPC, depending on what torso its in. Regarding the number of weapons, you can put in as many as you want, it just drives the weight of the turret up, so the more you put in, the heavier it gets.

Thanks for confirming that!  That's kind of unfortunate too because I'm doing an exercise where I'm basically taking common tracked combat vehicles and basically adding four legs to them. Unless I house rule it, that makes building a Demolisher as a quad 'mech with a turret impossible  :))

I think the 'Mech you're looking for is the Thunder Stallion.   :thumbsup:

Yup.  It's a downside. Though you could make a Demolisher quadvee.
