Description

The Swarm LRM Rack is essentially a standard LRM Rack firing special Swarm munitions. Swarm missiles do not detonate on impact like normal missiles. Instead their warheads separate and scatter, damaging anything within their area of effect.

Swarms are extremely useful against groups of enemies, especially in close formation. However, since their warheads separate before actually hitting their target, high speed Mechs can move out of a Swarm's effect radius without being damaged. Similarly, airborne targets such as helicopters cannot be hit by the scattering warheads.
