While considered to be a generalist design, the main firepower is strictly focused on long ranges with pair of [[Experimental Technology|experimental]] [[improved LRM-15]]s, one in each arm. At intermediate and short ranges the 'Mech depends on its trio of [[medium laser]]s, one in each arm and center torso, and pair Star League [[Streak SRM-2|Streak SRM-2]]s found in the legs like on the ''[[Crusader]]''. The ''Fox'' was also equipped to deal with infantry, mounting four [[machine gun]]s split in pairs on each of its arms, making the 'Mech a threat to be feared by conventional troops used in Clan combat.
