Roles and Gameplay Hints

The Argus is an Inner Sphere Heavy Mech and was added with the 0.9.0 update. It ties the Rifleman as being the lightest IS heavy mech available but, unlike the glass cannon Rifleman, the Argus is a tough mech fielding 11.5 tons of ferro-fibrous armor with formidable weaponry to threaten even heavier mechs. It doesn't skimp on speed either, running at a quick 86 KPH with the B variant sprinting up to 121 KPH. Its chassis has a squat profile with relatively high mounted weapons, allowing it to mostly stay in cover while unleashing its potent firepower. All variants have enhanced optics as standard equipment. The Argus's weapons are typically arm mounted and thus potentially vulnerable from being shot off, so mechwarriors engaged in battle should liberally employ the torso rotation technique between alpha strikes to better spread the damage across the mech.

Prime

The Argus prime is a solid mech mounting both short and long range weaponry for a flexible engagement window. The right arm houses the powerful RAC5 as well as 3 extended range small beam lasers while the left arm mounts a LRM15. Twin extended range medium beam lasers are mounted in the torso.
