Overview[ | ]

The PNT-8Z was the first Panther variant to come off the factory line and comes armed with a Large Laser and a single SRM 4.


Strengths[ | ]

  • Jump Jets
  • Two missile hardpoints in CT
    • Provides some firepower if the Large Laser is blown off.
    • The lower hardpoint supports up to ten tubes. The upper one supports up to five.
  • Good Large Laser quirks.

Weaknesses[ | ]

  • Very slow for a light 'Mech
  • Minimal DPS
  • The Large Laser quirks don't work with ER Large Lasers.
