 Its twin PPC arrangement is reminiscent of more traditional 'Mechs such as the Rifleman and the Warhammer, the Marauder's unique, more versatile ball-and-socket arm joints give it a faster traverse rate and a greater field of fire.

 The [[GECM]] helps cover your approach and slows down enemy missile locks - an extra welcome feature considering the 650m gunload is relatively short-ranged in the late-game when you'll need this mech the most. Three [[free ton|Free Tons of Ammo]] is enough to keep the AC10 and MRM20s topped up in sync with your repair cycles.
-==History==
+==Trivia==
-The '''Marauder''' was initially a canceled asset. It did not make it in time to be included in the game before the final beta 0.7.0, and only one render of Marauder 3D model was released. A new model was built and released in version 0.11.3.
+* Wandering Samurai Studio had originally planned the Marauder to be a surprise bonus asset for a future 0.9 or 1.0 release.
+* For a time, the Marauder was a canceled asset. At the time of Wandering Samurai Studios' final major update 0.7.0, the 'Mech was only 40% completed and therefore not ready for release. An entirely new model was later built and released in version 0.11.3, well after development of MWLL was revived by its community.
 ==Canon==
-The Marauder was an attack and direct support mech built in the 26th century and was modified numerous times later on. It's the best known type of mech in the galaxy. Prime variant of the Marauder was well prepared for long-range combat with its 2 [[PPC]]s and an [[AC5|Autocannon 5]] while two [[ML|Medium Laser]]s provided additional firepower at close range. There were at least 19 variants of this common mech, differing not only in weaponry loadout but also in appearance. Between many, the MAD-6L was equipped with an [[GECM|ECM]] suite, the Stealth Armor, and a pair of Plasma Rifles.

 ===Variant G===
-The G is a medium / close unit with a [[AC10|AutoCannon 10]] and two banks of [[MRM20|Medium Range Missles 20]] that can begin battering foes at 650m, and our [[MPL|Medium Pulse Lasers]] can start drilling at 400m. Battering is the key word here, considering the tremendous screenshake potential the trio of the AC10 and MRM20's have to offer, this variant excels at punching up to heavier assets, scrambling more expensive gunboats, and ablating larger mechs with MRM - all mounted on a chassis fast and strong enough to remain a persistent thorn in their side.

-Picture yourself piloting the Magnum with your radar set to passive on the high bridges of Zoetermeer while carefully flanking a slow moving enemy deathball that's busy trading shots with your team below. Exposing only the tip of your snub-nose Thumper to possible counter-fire, you mash the fire button and immediately turn away, breaking line-of-sight while your shell satisfyingly impacts seconds later. Your hapless target will be rocked by the massive concussive force, desperately looking for their tormentor. But you'll already be repositioning yourself for the next shot, again using partial cover to your advantage. You might get lucky and get a couple more shells off but don't push it - choose to break off. Chances are that at least some of the enemies with jump jets will come hunting for you and they'll know that your overall sustained DPS isn't the greatest. So ping your radar, quickly cycle through the targets, call out damaged assets to your teammates and only jump down into the fray below if you think you'll be able to finish off a higher value asset than yourself with your close ranged weapons.

 You'll also have to recognize that leading your relatively slow moving shells to land on mechs past 300m that can dodge is quite difficult! You can lean on your twin ER large lasers somewhat for medium to long range engagements but they'll overheat you quickly when used with the Thumper so be ready to tap that coolant key to avoid unnecessary damage.

 ===Variant C===
-A plain and simple variant meant purely for brawling, it is capable of coring out most mechs in mere seconds, but its lack of range is its Achilles' Heel. Any asset capable of [[kiting]] and shooting it beyond 350m is more than likely able to defeat it swiftly. The dorsal [[UAC20]] can relentlessly slam targets while the pair of [[SRM6]]s softens their [[armor]] and provide some amount of screenshake. A hexad of plain [[Medium laser]]s then provides an incredible amount of pinpoint damage, which is perfect for delimbing operations. It should be noted that the UAC20 on this variant is less liable to be shot off or otherwise disabled as compared to most other assets mounting UAC20s, as the dorsal mount has its own hitbox and a formidable amount of armor to get through. One [[Free tons|Free Ton]] of ammo for the UAC20 and two [[Flamers]] to use as needed.

-The one and only mech to field the diminutive [[Snub-Nose Thumper]] artillery cannon, this variant performs best at under 400m due to the somewhat steep parabolic trajectory of its main gun, which does not require deployment to fire. [[ERLL|ER Large Laser]]s in each arm can aid in sniping, assuming the pilot has mastered the art of aiming the stubby artillery cannon at beyond brawling range. [[SRM4]]s on the side torsos give it a reasonable amount of extra damage output at close range, and a quartet of [[HMG|Heavy Machine Guns]] provides a constant symphony of whittling fire, capable of shearing off components damaged by the incredible splash radius of its main cannon.
