Eight new weapons systems will be introduced with BattleTech’s final expansion, including the ‘Mech Mortar, the game’s first AOE weapon, capable of dispatching multiple opponents at once. Another addition is the COIL Beam, a weapon that generates more energy the further the attacker travels before firing.
