{{Mech Description
|Description=The Fafnir is Defiance Industries' showcase Mech. Capable of mounting twin [[Heavy Gauss Rifle]]s, this assault Mech can hold the line of any battlefield.
|Strengths=A heavy compliment of [[Weapon Hardpoint|energy shots]] gives Fafnir an advantage in cooler environments, and coupled with its [[ballistic]] capabilities, it can project massive firepower at all ranges. Its legs carry substantial armor, making it more survivable when attacked by smaller units. Placed in defensive positions where movement and agility are not required, Fafnir is a good choice to guard installations and other areas where it can deploy to protected positions and engage approaching enemies from a distance. By keeping hard structures to its rear, it can prevent faster mechs from exploiting its primary weakness, which is movement. Armed with 2 [[Heavy Gauss Rifle]]s, it can produce at least 54 damage points to a single area with a single group fire.<ref>[http://trm.mektek.net/index_mechs.htm MechWarrior4 - Technical Reference Manual]</ref>
|Weaknesses=Fafnir handles like a battleship, and it can be effectively countered by well armed, agile mechs, which have the agility to exploit Fafnir's exceptionally poor turn rate and attack the soft rear torso. It is vulnerable to long ranged missile systems as it lacks the speed to evade these weapons. The chassis itself is incapable of carrying missiles, and its electronics suite is disappointing. Its heavy energy compliment can induce shutdown in warmer environments, but Energy / Ballistic configurations can help to avoid this. Head shots should be directed dead center torso, directly between the 2 massive cannon barrels. This weakness is easier to exploit from close range... try grouped [[LBX10]]s / [[LBX20]]s within 50 meters, but only on swift crossing and circling patterns.<ref>[http://trm.mektek.net/index_mechs.htm MechWarrior4 - Technical Reference Manual]</ref>
