Video game developer Piranha Games have revealed the Catapult mech that gamers will be able to use in the upcoming MechWarrior Online, a machine best suited for long-range assaults.

The Catapult is a heavy machine and the usual build for it focuses on long-range missiles in order to disable and destroy mechs before they can close in and take on the Catapult with lasers and kinetic weaponry.

The MMO will probably encourage gamers to create groups where Catapults are escorted by a number of smaller and more agile mechs who can deliver short range support.

MechWarrior Online is an MMO that will use the license for the MechWarrior universe and will allow players to explore most of it without paying anything.

The game will try to explore the events of the various wars of the franchise, with players able to align themselves with one of the core Houses, become a mercenary or play as a lone world on the battlefield.
