==Description==
The '''''Pack Hunter II''''' is a [[BattleMech#Light|light]] [[BattleMech]] produced by [[Clan Wolf-in-Exile]] on [[Arc-Royal]] during the [[Jihad]]. The 'Mech would first appear in combat in [[Production Year::3077]] after a considerable amount of delays in its development. The design was originally seen as the [[OmniMech]] successor to the original ''[[Pack Hunter]]'', however the Blakist attack against Arc-Royal and other priorities caused the delays.<ref name="TRO:3085p144+"/>

The design was originally seen as the [[OmniMech]] successor to the original ''[[Pack Hunter]]'', however the Blakist attack against Arc-Royal and other priorities caused the delays.
  
The ''Pack Hunter II'' improves on its predecessor’s qualities, including various upgrades as well as a substantial improvement in armor and weaponry while retaining the original's speed. In a bid to improve survival rates of pilots, the design also includes a [[Full-Head Ejection System]] to prevent the loss of a warrior in combat.<ref name="TRO:3085p144+"/>

The ''Pack Hunter II'' improves on its predecessor’s qualities. Among the things the 'Mech has been fitted with, the designers made a substantial improvement in armor and weaponry while retaining the original's speed. In a bid to improve survival rates of pilots, the design also includes a [[Full-Head Ejection System]] to prevent the loss of a warrior in combat.
  
The design had been seen deployed by [[3085]] with ''[[Touman]]s'' of [[Clan Hell's Horses]], the [[Draconis Combine]] and the [[Republic of the Sphere]].<ref name="TRO:3085p144+"/>

== Weapons and Equipment ==

==Armament==
Retained from the original, the 'Mech's main weapon is the [[Ripper Series A1]] [[ER PPC]], now backed up by a pair of arm mounted [[Series 2b]] [[ER medium laser]]s. The 'Mech's legs are protected from possible [[battle armor]] attack by having a [[B-Pod]] mounted in each leg. The 'Mech's weapons and movement heat is managed by 10 [[double heat sink]]s, but it's not adequate to handle the 'Mech's heat load.<ref name="TRO:3085p144+"/>

===Custom Variants===
* Some Dark Age variants were known to carry eight [[ER micro laser]]s to complement the single [[ER PPC]]<ref>http://sarna.s3.amazonaws.com/docs/mwda_dossiers/dark_age_25.pdf</ref>.

* ''Pack Hunter II'' Isis - The personal Mech of [[Galaxy Commander]] Isis Bekker of [[Clan Ghost Bear]]'s Omega Galaxy in [[3136]], this ''Pack Hunter II'' variant removes the standard weaponry of the ''Pack Hunter II''. In its place, the 'Mech carried a [[Medium Pulse Laser]] in each arm, twin [[ER Micro Laser]]s in the right and left torso. To provide additional punch, an [[Artemis IV]] enhanced [[SRM-6]] was mounted in the right torso. This version also carries slightly less armor than a standard ''Pack Hunter II''.
