The ''Wolf Trap'' carries as its main weapon an [[Imperator Code Red]] [[LB-X autocannon/10]], which allows it to fire both standard solid shells or cluster shells that act like a shotgun and cause damage all over the enemy. For added long range firepower, the ''Wolf Trap'' carries a [[Shigunga]] [[LRM-10]] launcher which allows it to fire directly and also give indirect fire support when needed. Finally, for close combat, the 'Mech carries a pair of [[Victory 23R]] [[medium laser]]s. This varied arsenal lets the ''Wolf Trap'' effectively engage an enemy at any range.<ref name=TRO3050U-53>''Technical Readout: 3050 Upgrade'', p. 53</ref>

*; WFT-2 : Despite no longer being produced, [[Luthien Armor Works]] authorized an upgrade program during the [[Jihad]] at their new plant on [[Abiy Adi]]. Though the ''Wolf Trap'' is unpopular, there were storehouses that abounded with the discarded 'Mech, giving the [[DCMS]] an upgraded machine in desperate times. The autocannon is replaced with a [[plasma rifle]], while the missile launcher is upgraded to an [[MML 9]]. These changes give the -2 increased flexibility at the cost of range. It also upgrades the lasers to [[ER medium laser]]s and adds a third. In addition, three [[light machine gun]]s are added and linked in a [[machine gun array]]. Finally, the [[heat sink]]s are upgraded to [[Double Heat Sink|doubles]] and armor is redistributed.<ref name=TRCIp118f /> BV (2.0) = 1,289<ref>''Record Sheets: 3050 Upgrade (Inner Sphere)'', p. 96</ref>

*; WFT-2B : This variant of the ''Wolf Trap'' is roughly based on the "Bear Trap" model. The [[medium X-Pulse laser]]s and improved armor protection remain, as does the performance provided by the XL engine, but the [[silver bullet Gauss rifle]] has been replaced by a standard [[Imperator Dragon's Fire]] [[Gauss rifle]] to ease logistical concerns. This ''Wolf Trap'' variant is typically used by newer MechWarriors in less-prestigious units as a light cavalry unit.
