The 'S-5000' Scrapper was designed by Hodgson & Vasquez, a subsidiary of Evantis Heavy Industries, for trash haulage and waste disposal. Its Hazard Protected Chassis was necessary to protect the Pilot against the accumulated toxic wastes of the great trash mountains that dotted the Arid Steppes around the Evantis home arco of Haven.

The 'T-690' Thresher was designed as a multi-purpose agriculture Mech by Hodgson & Vasquez to aid in the large-scale crop harvesting and forestry operations within the Verdant Crescent. It is one of the longest operating Mechs in existence, said to have been used in the Great War. Its multiple layers of heavy armour are a clunky holdover from that era, but provide solid protection to the Mech in the perilous wastes.

The 'M-63' Mule was developed by the Opus Institute as one of the first open source Mech blueprints. They remain a ubiquitous presence across the wasteland as a result. Their design was replicated not only by other corpos, but numerous enthusiasts with a crafting bay. The Mule's spacious cargo bay makes the Mech invaluable to wastelanders, corpos, and salvagers alike for transporting salvage over a wide array of terrain, whilst its general hardiness allows it to survive numerous threats from raider ambushes to radiation storms.

The Mazona 'PR1-M3' was created by DronTek Systems in the aftermath of the first Luddite Rebellion. It was designed as a delivery drone that could be piloted by a worker rather than automated. Its design remains useful due to the majority of automated drones malfunctioning as a result of the increased radiation storms across the wastelands. Whilst fragile, the DronTek patented hover function enables it to operate across a wide variety of terrain, plus it is a cheap Mech to rebuild if it does get blown apart.

The 'Z-80A' Spectrum was developed by Advanced Microprocessor Systems (AMS), a subsidiary of Thatcher Steel, as a pilotable, mobile, data centre for use in the establishment of colonies either offworld or within inhospitable locations. The Spectrum's Chassis is specifically designed to protect its data core and other vital components from any environmental damage and in the event of a colony collapse it can be moved with ease along with the vital intelligence contained in its mammoth core.

The Mechapult is an invention that could only have been thought of by salvagers. Scrap has many uses in the wastelands from trade, from crafting to repair and most obviously launching at high velocity towards whoever looked at you the wrong way.

A Mechapult must be loaded with one piece of Scrap to fire. The effect is randomly determined and differs based on the Tech Level of Scrap you choose. Choose a target in Range to fire the Mechapult at. Instead of making an attack roll, roll the die on the table below to determine the effect. You may Push this roll as normal. The Scrap is always destroyed irrespective of the result.

This simple ballistic weapon of the Opus Institute design fires solid, high calibre rounds that can puncture a Mech hull and shred through infantry. It has been a mainstay of battlefields for as long as anyone remembers and remains ubiquitous today.

Make a ranged attack against a target within Range.

This small cargo pod allows you to squeeze that extra bit of storage space out of your Mech.

A Cargo Pod increases the Cargo Capacity of a Mech by 1.

Developed by the Opus Institute for use in forestry and demolition operations, or at least that is what they tell themselves.

The FM-3 shoots a superheated stream of fire at a target. Most Mechs are armoured enough that this only licks them, but it can mess up internals enough to stop them firing anything hot back at you. Flesh bubbles and screams.

This hydraulic crushing system can be used to scour an area of salvage or as an impromptu weapon. Sometimes both.

When you Area Salvage with this System you gain a single additional Scrap of the Tech Level of the area in addition to what you roll on the Area Salvaging Table.

An industrial excavator designed for mining and salvaging operations. Allows drilling, excavating, and salvaging of rock and other dense material.

These were used extensively in the Ferrous Range by Thatcher Steel miners and their carcasses still litter the rocky outcrops.

This industrial rigging arm is designed to enable a Mech to pick up and manipulate objects in its external environment. It is important to note that Mechs are not equipped with arms by default.

To avoid any embarrassment in the field, please remember to install a Rigging Arm on your Mech, as it will be unable to pick up objects without one.

A compressor and nozzle which propels an abrasive material like sand to slowly erode, clean, or shape a surface.

Any target hit cannot use any System or Module with the Targeter Trait for 1 turn.

The Herrsch Pattern Miniaturised Mortar lobs an explosive, high velocity round against a target, flaying everything around it with superheated shrapnel.

An Escape Hatch is a sealed hatch that can be opened and escaped through in the event a Mech suffers critical damage or the Pilot needs to make a swift exit.

When activated, by pulling a lever, a bolted charge blows the Escape Hatch from the Mech Chassis, allowing for the Pilot to crawl through to safety. Roll on the table below to determine the result.

This mech-mountable riveting gun can be used to make field repairs to the most basic of Mechs, Systems, and Modules.

A sturdy and dependable Locomotion System allowing a Mech to traverse most standard terrain types and adaptable to fit on most Chassis. Locomotion Systems vary widely from bipedal to quadrupedal, and beyond. Some esoteric designs are known to have as many as eight legs!

A Locomotion System allows a Mech to move normally. If a Mech does not have a Locomotion System or it is damaged or destroyed the Mech cannot move.

Slapping some extra layers of scrap on your Mech can make you feel more comfortable about piloting a nuclear reactor-powered death machine.

The first time that your Mech is hit by an attack, or takes damage, prevent the damage and all effects of the attack. Your Armour Plating System is then destroyed.

Originally developed as a tool for lumberjack Mechs by Hodgson & Vasquez, an Evantis subsidiary, this saw arm has remained in use for its salvaging capabilities, utility, and stopping power even as the forests have been cut down across the world.

Make a melee attack against a target within Range.

A useful tool in the wastes, the Opus Institute originally designed the High Pressure Hose and was the first to make the blueprints freely available for use by fire fighting Mechs following the chaos of Impact Day. Sakura Futures would deploy them as a riot control measure against waves of food protestors. Though somewhat limited by its heavy water tank, this can be refilled in the field.

You fire a stream of highly pressurised water at any target or location in Range. This can douse fire and make ground boggy and wet. A Mech doused in water reduces its Heat by 1.

These externally mounted speakers can be clearly heard by anything up to Medium Range from you. They can be used to communicate externally with those outside of your Mech or play some beats from your cassette deck.

The Immortan Raiders made effective use of Loudspeakers as a crude shock and awe tool during their devastating raids in the Ferrous Wars.

Red lasers strike a target with a small, focussed beam of heat.

Their blueprint has been made widely available by the Opus Institute and are commonly used by corpos as much as they are by salvagers and wastelanders.

A simple hold designed to store salvage on a Mech. Not the most flashy option, but nothing beats the feeling of having a hold full of Scrap to bring home to the Crawler.

A Transport Hold increases the Cargo Capacity of a Mech by 4.

Light up a wide area up to Medium Range from a Mech as a Free Action. This allows you to see more clearly in dark or foggy conditions. The Floodlights can be adjusted for tight or wide beam illumination.

This Firewall, made open source by the Opus Institute, is designed to block hacking attempts.

If you or an Ally in Range are the target of any System, Module, or Ability with the Hacking Trait you may attempt to block the hack with your Firewall as a Reaction.

When activated, roll on the table below to determine the result.

Your Mech is installed with a Personal Recreation Device of your choice. This could be an entertainment box, foot massager, or drinks dispenser, because sometimes a salvager just needs a break.

When activated, a single Pilot may use the Personal Recreation Device to relax and get themselves into a flow state. The next time they or a Mech they are controlling roll the die, they may re-roll it. They must accept the result of the second roll.

When activated, your Mech self-destructs, its reactor going into overdrive and causing a localised thermonuclear explosion.

Your Mech, as well as all mounted Systems, Modules, and all Cargo, are destroyed. Everything within Close Range of your Mech takes SP damage equal to the Maximum Heat Capacity of your Mech. Everything affected by this may take any Turn Action or Reaction in response to attempt to avoid the damage. You may attempt to escape via any System, Module, or Ability with the Escape Trait.

The area where your Mech was located before the Self-Destruct was activated, is now Irradiated.

This Opus Institute-developed array of telecommunications wires and receivers allows communication with anything with the Communicator Trait in Range.

This allows for both voice and text communications via your Mech's HUD. You may also use your Comms Module to send and receive images and data, such as data you gather when using a Scanner. If the Mech does not have a Comms Module or equivalent with the Communicator Trait you cannot talk to your Allies from their Mech whilst out in the field.

A Weapons Link Module allows you to connect any number of identical Weapons Systems together. These must be the same Weapons System. For example: you may link two Green Lasers or three 30mm Autocannons. Once you link weapons, this is permanent and they cannot be fired separately via any means until this Module is uninstalled.

You make an attack with all weapons linked together with this Module against a single target in Range of your choice. Make and resolve each attack separately. You gain 1 Heat for each linked weapon you attack with and must make a Heat Check after the attacks have been resolved.

This hacking program developed by Stefanus Industries allows you to tap into a Mech, database, or computer system to gather information about it.

This can only be used to read data and not to write or manipulate it.

When activated, a Survey Scanner allows you to scan a specific point of interest within Range. This can be a single point on the Region Map or a specific feature in the world such as a ruin, unique area of terrain, settlement, or base. If a point is not worth scanning because it holds nothing of interest or you have all of the relevant information on it, the Mediator must tell you before you make your scan.

When activated, this optical array extends the Range of any single Ranged Weapons System mounted on your Mech by one band, to a maximum of Long Range. For example, from Medium Range to Long Range or Close Range to Medium Range.

It further allows you to zoom in and see one Range Band further than you currently are. For example, if you are in Medium Range, you can see a target as though it was in Close Range and pick out finer details about it.

This effect lasts for 1 hour.

An open source Opus Institute blueprint, this Module is frequently used by emergency or rescue services. The Opus Institute developed it for use in the long winters where their headquarters are located; due to the pitch dark environments and constant threat of snowstorms and avalanches.

When activated, this Module fires a reactor-fuelled flare to any point within Range. The flare is clearly visible up to anywhere within Far Range as well as anyone in any adjacent area to you on the Region Map. The flare burns enough to provide illumination nearly equal to that of daylight. The flare lasts for an hour before dissipating.

This Module is installed directly into your Mech's Cockpit and allows storage of up to 10 pieces of Pilot Equipment within it, allowing easy access when in the field.
