Designer Notes
The Pathfinder is a long range reconnaissance and raiding Gear based on the Jaguar chassis and a source of prestige for its pilots. Designed both for recon and commando/infiltration duties, the Pathfinder is often deployed alone and its pilots have gained the mystique of lone warriors who rely only upon themselves. The Pathfinder itself is easily identifiable by the cylindrical auxilliary fuel tanks which descend from its back-mounted S-V1110F V-engine. Though somewhat vulnerable to enemy fire, this additional fuel gives the Pathfinder a long deployment range, reaching over 1000 kilometers. This permits the Gear ot be deployed on long range missions without the need for air transport. The Pathfinder's head differs slightly from other Jaguars, sporting a pair of small protuberances that house high resolution secondary omnicameras. Just behind the gear's head is a raised, armored module that contains a deployable satellite communications system, enabling pilots to remain in contact with friendly forces even if the next closest unit is hundreds of kilometers away. The Pathfinder's armament is sparse, but effective, using a Riley 40mm RF225 as a long-range deterrent, and three heavy panzerfausts to provide extra firepower for tight situations. The rifle permits the Pathfinder to undertake sniper missions as well.
