================================================================================================
Overview:
Nicknamed the "Light Hammer" or "Mallet" by its detractors, the Liúx?ng Chuí is a basic
and simple trooper mech that's rugged, reliable, meets all the basic requirements, and is
easy to maintain for logistical reasons.
Capabilities:
Some advanced materials were used such as Endo Steel, Double Heat Sinks, and Ferro Fibrous
in order to provide a low cost, 6.3 million c-bill war machine with nearly max armor,
adequate speed, and high endurance.
No ammo adds further savings as the design is armed with only two weapons, albeit they are
arguably one of the most popular weapons amongst mechwarriors, twin ER PPCs. Good range,
good damage, but highly predictable, there are no thrills here.
Curiously a C3 Slave is added in the head which leads many to believe that the unit is
simply meant to be a cheap bodyguard. As a throwback to the popular WHM-7M, the Slave unit
can easily be switched out for a Dual Cockpit, allowing some extra use as a training mech.
Both hands are also retained as a way to provide some utility off the field.
Deployment:
Despite how basic the design appears, it's low costs and various strengths has garnered the
attention of several militias and mercenaries.
Variants:
Nearly all variants involve removing the Slave unit, with the most popular replacements
being a TAG, Flamer, or ER Medium Laser.
