Stalker

The Stalker is a pure assault 'Mech. None of the variants are capable carrying ECM nor do any have more than 1 module slot available. The Torso twist range is likewise limited, ranging from 60° on most models to 85° on the STK-3F. What it does carry however is some of the most numerous weapon hardpoint slots available on any 'Mech. All models at minimum have 8 hardpoints and most carry even more, compared to the Atlas which only carries 6 - 8 hardpoints depending on the model. However, all of the non-Hero 'mech variants of the Stalker are limited to only energy and missile weapon hardpoints, without the ability to carry any ballistic weapons. The Stalker is a popular "boat" 'mech, often used for configurations which carry large numbers of just one or two types of weapons designed for a particular style of combat - Medium Lasers and SRMs for close-range brawling; LRMs for long-range support; or PPCs or Large Lasers for high-damage direct fire alpha strikes.
