Prime
This ferocious refit of the Marauder with 3072 tech reminds the newer generation of inner sphere pilots why their ancestors feared this beast during the Star League era. Packing twinlinked AC5s on its dorsal cannon, allowing it to put out respectable firepower out to 800m with minimal exposure, it also has a pair of ERPPCs in its arms. These ensure that the other mech has to play by your rules allowing you to screenshake it as you see fit with staggered fire limiting their ability to fight back. Finally, 4 ERML round out the package giving the Marauder a respectable followup to its initial punch and finish weakened components or BA. 6 DHS are more than suited for the task of cooling this monster of a mech.

This variant excels at applying a blistering amount of pinpoint damage for minimal exposure with its dorsal-mounted Improved Heavy Gauss Rifle. If it's able to expose its entire frame without fear of repercussion or a close combat engagement forces its hand, 2 LPL provide respectable punch and sustain and a whopping 5 Machine Guns are eager to finish off wounded components from the huge holes this thing punches in armor. 4 DHS are overkill for ensuring this mech never yellowlines on anything but the very hottest maps. 2 tons of ammo, while seemingly ample, will run dry quickly in sustained fights.

Variant F
A facsimile of a certain popular Madcat variant, this mech puts all its eggs in one basket to deliver a brutal alpha strike and fade while cooling off. A Gauss Rifle and 2 ERLL make up the bulk of your damage, but 4 ERML add even more pinpoint punch within 600m.

History
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.
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 it's 2 PPCs and an Autocannon 5 while two Medium Lasers 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 ECM suite, the Stealth Armor, and a pair of Plasma Rifles.
Date Introduced 2819 during the Era known as "Early Succession War" (2781 - 2900) - Unit Role: Sniper
