================================================================================================
Overview:
The Jorōgumo 4 is meant to be the all-rounder configuration of the Black Arachne, based on
unrealized blueprints from Clan Widowmaker. Instead of focusing most of its firepower on
long range like most of its kin, its ideal range band is medium range thanks to its loadout.
This does harm its mobility somewhat, but the versatility gain was considered worth it to
its designers.
This fact made it a prime choice for Clan Wolf-in-Exile to revive production for in the face
of the Jihad.
Capabilities:
The Black Arachne 4 uses an ER PPC in its left arm as its main long-range option, using it
to whittle away armor on its approach. At medium ranges it brings to bear two right
arm-mounted Medium Pulse Lasers to poke at weakpoints, and finally at close range two
legskirt SRM-4s and two ER Small Lasers finish off the weakened opponent. To all but ensure
infantry will not pose a threat to it, 4 Machine Guns with a ton of ammunition between them
are installed in the torso. The torsos also store the two tons of SRM-4 ammo, and all those
bins are protected with CASE.
13 double heat sinks bring waste heat generation into easily controllable margins, and while
reduced from the original 3 Jump Jets still provide enhanced mobility.
