Designed to take out fairly light, fast targets.The Beast's primary weapon is probably a beefed up version of that laser beam...it's output is currently limited by Deezy's jury-rigged repairs to the Beast's power plant. I also decided that the 'Beast' represents a kind of versatile multi-role weapons platform, and that it has a modular socket that can connect to external pods that hold additional, mission-specific armaments or equipment.So for heavy assaults, it might be equipped with a heavy particle beam, for example. Recon might give it an expanded sensor and communications kit, along with electronic countermeasures and stealth gear. Of course, Deezy didn't find any of that stuff yet, so the Beast is stuck with the systems she's managed to fix. But in a way the accuracy issue is in-character...it helps emphasize that Deezy's repairs, while amazing in that they were able to restore any function at all, were made without the full technical knowledge and equipment normally needed. Improving and finishing those repairs is actually the driving character goal, and is why she was ever in the city in the first place. So we can't make it TOO easy. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
