An Actuator is a component within a BattleMech's limbs, composed of the joint, myomer bundles, and motor control units.

Upper Leg

The default upper leg actuator in every 'mech.

Manufacturer: Generic

Critical Slots: 1
Install Location: Upper Leg
Value: 30000

Critical Effects:

  • DESTROYED: reduces walk and sprint distances by 10%.
