Promoted Pawn equipment

With the "War of Ascendants" continuing to grind on better equipment and tactics had to be developed to deal with the ongoing battles. Finding that their weapons were sufficient but lacking in outright destructive properties, the Stratego turned to their allies Strikers to update and develop new weapons. The end results would be a more destructive force that could stand more evenly with the emerging threats. All of these weapons could be mounted on any of the available hard points used for gun type equipment.

1)Gatling cannon

Heavy caliber bullets fired at a rapid rate are still a viable solution to eliminate enemies even with the advancement of many different types of weapons. Had 20 seconds of ammo. Was a large cumbersome weapon that was not suited for close in situations but in open fields conditions this weapon showed its worth.

2)Bazooka

Rocket propelled explosives that could knock out small groups of enemies or a single heavy target. As with the gatling cannon this weapon was large and cumbersome and only in open conditions were their worth shown. Had six rounds for use.

3)Shotgun

Firing out several hardened metal cubes in a close spray this weapon was useful for "sweeper" operations in an urban environment. Had 21 rounds.

4)Grenade launcher

Smaller version of the bazooka used for close in situations in urban environments. Lacked the long range punch of the bazooka but made up for it with a rapid fire rate and 10 rounds.

5)Rail assault rifle

A good all round weapon that had the excellent range of a sniper rifle, the damage of a plasma weapon, and the fire rate of an assault rifle. With the assault rifle, and plasma rifle this weapon was the perfect 1-2-3 punch. The assault rifle would bypass shields, the plasma rifle would weaken heavy armor, and the rail assault rifle could then destroy the softened targets.

6)Assault rifle w/ grenade launcher

Takes the typical assault rifle and ups the utility with an under slung grenade launcher. Slowly finding its way into being the standard assault rifle.

These weapons would see the development of new Tactical formations to better take advantage of their properties.
