Gyros counteract the massive amounts of momentum generated from 'Mech engines and allow for precision maneuvering and recovery from stability-impacting attacks. All 'Mechs come equipped with a stock Gyro, which can be upgraded for improved performance.

Compact Gyros

Gyro Compact

The Compact Gyro is constructed from denser but more compact material and components, trading an increase in weight for halving the bulk of the device. Intended primarily to reduce the chance of penetrating fire from damaging the vital component by reducing its size, like its fusion engine counterpart, it also has the benefit of freeing up internal space in a 'Mech's normally tightly packed center torso.

Notes:

  • This gyro generates an extra evasive charge from any movement but only up to its maximum. This is beneficial because it means you're not always required to sprint max distance in order to hit your max pips

Heavy Duty Gyros

Gyro Heavy Duty

Developed by the Draconis Combine in the 3060s, the Heavy Duty Gyro provides myriad defense boons to its equipped 'Mech. In addition to providing a boost to the threshold at which a 'Mech becomes unsteady, the Heavy Duty Gyro also heavily reduces the amount of incoming stability damage dealt to the carrying 'Mech. However, it comes at a cost: the Heavy Duty Gyro is much heavier than a standard gyro, taking up much more weight.

Manufacturer: Luthien Armor Works
Tonnage: 0.06 x chassis weight
Critical Slots: 4
Install Location: Center Torso
Value: 600,000
Gear ID: Gear_Gyro_Heavy_Duty


Equipped Effects:

  • -40% stability damage taken
  • +60 increased unsteady threshold

Critical Effects:

  • HIT 1: The gyro was critically hit, reducing unsteady threshold by 50%
  • DESTROYED: The gyro was destroyed, setting unsteady threshold to 0

Notes:

  • The gyro weight rounds to the nearest half ton.

XL Gyros

Gyro XL

Developed by ComStar, much like the XL Engine, the XL Gyro is constructed from lighter but bulkier material and components, increasing the size of the gyro by half in exchange for halving its weight. Also sharing the same disadvantage, the XL gyro can only weather the same amount of damage as a standard gyro before destruction, its increased bulk increasing the odds that any fire that penetrates the center torso will strike it and cripple the 'Mech. Further, unless a 'Mech mounts a Compact Engine, the XL gyro will take up the small amount of free space in the center torso region, forcing any equipment normally installed there to be moved to other positions.

Manufacturer: Luthien
Tonnage: -0.03 x chassis weight
Critical Slots: 4
Install Location: Center Torso
Value: 900,000
Gear ID: Gear_Gyro_XL


Equipped Effects:

  • +40 increased unsteady threshold

Critical Effects:

  • HIT 1: The gyro was critically hit, reducing unsteady threshold by 50%
  • DESTROYED: The gyro was destroyed, setting unsteady threshold to 0

Notes:

  • If the tonnage calculation seems confusing don't worry. What it boils down to is that it reduces the weight of the gyro on your 'Mech, freeing up tonnage at the cost of taking up more space in the CT than a standard gyro. Rounds to the nearest half ton.
