Armaments[]
- 155mm x 50 caliber Smoothbore Gun

The gun's high mounting point improves its anti-ground attack capabilities, as well as its effective range and attack radius. Although it has high attack capabilities, it can be quite inconvenient to use. The gun has various types of ammunitions available for selection to meet operational needs. The suit can carry two spare magazines for the gun on each side skirt armor.
- Carbon Spear
- A handheld close combat weapon with a long reach and wide attack radius. It is meant to remedy the suit's lack of mobility and is made of E-Carbon. Due to its shape, the carbon spear is very suitable for stabbing attacks and the likes.
- Shield
- Mounted on the left forearm, it is the suit's main defensive armament. Can also be used as a hand-to-hand combat weapon.
