Description

Conceived original as a test-bed for a future OmniMech, the Arctic Wolf is produced on Arc-Royal by Clan Wolf-in-Exile. Like the Pack Hunter, some materials used in the design were obtained from the Kell Hounds, though the design is Clan-tech in every way that matters. This fast medium 'Mech is designed to close quickly and unleash over forty short-range missiles at an opponent before withdrawing just as quickly. The ten double heat sinks can be overwhelmed, but only if a MechWarrior insists on staying in the fight for going full-tilt for long periods. The Arctic Wolf is protected by six tons of standard armor.

Prior to the Jihad, the Artic Wolf OmniMech was introduced three configuration.

Armament

The design of the Arctic Wolf is simple: get close, unleash a torrent of missiles, and get out. To do this, it is armed with six Type 1 SRM Six-Shooters and two Type 1 Cross-Pattern SRM-4 Launchers. Aiding the accuracy of these missiles is the Tracker Series Narc Missile Beacon. The Arctic Wolf also boasts an impressive four tons of ammunition for its launchers.

Variants

  • Arctic Wolf 2 - The one variant replaces the SRM-4s and two SRM-6s with an Alpha Series Large Pulse Laser. This gives the 'Mech some long-range capability and provides it with a punch weapon, as well as increased accuracy and a reduction on ammunition dependency. BV (1.0) = 1,207, BV (2.0) = 1,511

OmniMech Version

The new OmniMech version of the Artic Wolf, was introduced in the late 3060s after original Arctic Wolf was used to work out the design's flaws. The OmniMech version of the 'Mech is a refinement of the design. The new base model includes; ten Double Heat Sinks, an increase armor protection with Ferro-Fibrous Armor, and [[Endo Speed]. The design is slower than its parent design, with maximum speed of 90 km/ph.[1]

  • Prime Config. - The Prime is based on original model the Arctic Wolf, armed exclusively with SRM type weaponry. However, for OmniMech the SRMs been upgraded to four SRM Streak 6 Launchers four tons of CASE protected ammunition. The configuration has also been fitted with Jump Jets. BV (2.0) = 1,641[2]
  • Alt. Config. A - Also introduced in 3060s as well, this configuration principly with pair of shoulder mounted LRM 15 Launchers with four tons ammunition. For close-range fighting, 'Mech utilizes paired with SRM 6 launcher with Small Pulse Laser in each arm acturator. For added protection, the 'Mech is fitted with a ECM Suite. BV (2.0) = 1,587[3]
  • Alt. Config. J - Created during the Jihad, this configuration principly with a Plasma Cannon. The weapon is been given a ton of ammunition, is packed up four Streak SRM 4 Launchers in arms and shoulders. 'Mech has been given a single Heavy Medium Laser in left arm pods. As with the A configuration, it also has ECM Suite fitted in right shoulder to added to its protection from some sophisticated weaponry. BV (2.0) = 1,786[4]

Notes

The OmniMech version of the Arctic Wolf has not been given separate article due at time of this writing, has no fluff.
