A powerful claw attachment mounted on the end of a Battle Armor's arm and replaces a hand. The Claw is strong enough to peel armor off a BattleMech.

== Tactical Analysis ==
*This weapon is a BA only melee weapon.

*The Claw does not need ammo.

*It shoots a very slow and short-ranged 'Gauss' projectile, although it is not actually a Gauss rifle.

*The projectile counts as ballistic, thus reactive armor will reduce the damage received.

*In a melee, it is extremely potent. Assault mechs will have a very difficult time targeting a Battle Armor at their feet, however, vice-versa applies if the BA is targetting CT. It is therefore recommended to fire the Claw at their legs instead.

*When engaging the BA in melee range, Battle Mech pilots are advised to create distance before engaging.
