==Description==
'''''Lostech: The MechWarrior Equipment Guide''''' is an equipment sourcebook for [[MechWarrior (RPG)|roleplaying]] in the [[BattleTech]] universe. The book contains many rules that pertain to gear, including skills, traits, and [[Life Path]]s for characters that revolve around technology. Roughly a fourth of the book is devoted to new (and newly updated) weapons and armor that characters and GMs can use in RPG campaigns. Also included are RPG statistics for all [[battle armor]] that appeared in print sources up to that point. Finally, the book contains new gear, from computers to jeeps to poisons.
