================================================================================================
Overview:
    A classic and durable design, the Archer has been a very well rounded support mech. With the
    advances of opposing mechs, however, the venerable Archer was also in need of an upgrade to
    remain effective.

Capabilities:
    While retaining the dual LRM 20's that have been synonimous with the design since it's
    inception, the ARC-4X adds 2 tons of ammo for a total of 6 tons. Also included were 3 CASE
    systems to ensure pilot survival in the event of ammo destruction. Taking note of the
    increase of mech speed with the introduction of the new technology, the ARC-4X has an
    improved short range weapons battery. The 4 medium lasers have been replaced with 4 medium
    pulse lasers. The two rear facing ones were relocated from the side torsos to the hips
    because of size constraints. Also added were a SSRM-2 to each arm with a central ammo bay in
    the CT, also CASE equipped.

Deployment:
    So far there have been no reports of combat involving these units. There have been 12
    produced and fielded in pairs by various merc units for field tests.
    
    
    
    A proposed variant replaces the SSRM-2's for a pair of SRM-2's and adds a ton of armor.
