Equipment/Proposed/Anti-Infantry Mechanical Suit

Official Description

The Anti-Infantry Mechanical Suit, or A.I.M.S, is a motorized, thick armored suit that the soldier can "wear" on the battlefield. Each "hand" is really a heavy weapon mounted on the end of the arm. This will allow the soldier to use a pair of heavy weapons on the field and if you include the heavy armor with strong, motorized movement, you have one terrifying war machine. The armor is heavy enough to withstand most projectile fire and with more advanced armor, this machine will be even more impervious to damage. Unfortunately, this suit takes up four times more space than a soldier, limiting the terrain this soldier can enter. More advanced versions will allow this suit to hover, have different vision types, and even have a thin, folding arm that can extend out and heal surrounding soldiers.

Battle Implications

This suit will increase running speed, as well as jump higher heights as well. And with two heavy weapons armed and ready, this soldier will be ready for anything. However, the soldier will not be able to climb stairs, nor ladders and will not be able to enter buildings as well. Only heavy weapons can be mounted.

Damage Type

Depends on the weapons mounted.

Skill

None required.

Speciality

Depends on the equipment mounted.
