Mech Gyros
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.

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.

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.
Gyro XL Omni
An OmniMech is a highly configurable type of BattleMech. The OmniMech gyro is fixed equipment located in the CT and provides a number of mechanical benefits on top of the standard gyro effects. Damaged OmniMech components can be easily repaired in half the time it takes for common BattleMechs.
