Overview[ | ]

The -3C departs from the normal close range loadout common to most other Cicada models in favor of adding a long range PPC. Two Machine Guns provide close range defense.


Strengths[ | ]

  • Hard-hitting PPC.
  • Can engage at longer distances.
  • Good Speed.

Weaknesses[ | ]

  • The PPC must be replaced with an ER PPC to make use of the excellent quirks.
  • Light Armor.
  • No arm mounted Weapons, less manuverable.
  • Inside the range of the PPC, the only weapons are a pair of machine guns.
