The Brigand is a light weight mech with a strong gauss cannon attached.

History

There's no historical data on file for the Brigand.

Description

Most striking feature of the brigand is the massive gauss cannon, it takes up most of its light frame on the right side. Slung on hanging arm mounts are its two weapons, which by default are either manipulators suitable for melee combat or a pair of clan pulse lasers.

The cockpit is offset towards the left due to the gauss mount. The overall styling tends towards rounded sections of armor.

Tactics

The Brigand's strongest gun is the gauss, and even that can't hold its own against bigger heavier mechs. Like most light mechs the brigand should focus on mobility. The low mass of the mech should allow a JumpJet or Enhanced JumpJet to produce a fair amount of lift with it. Getting in the air allows for some nice splash down tactics. The low weight class of the mech also allows a DAAC to be useful against it.

The Pulse lasers and manipulators compete for the same weapon slot, so choose the one that suits your playstyle best.
