*; FNR-5B : A lack of Thor's Hammers during the [[FedCom Civil War]] forced engineers to come up with a field modification that could be useful without the Heavy Gauss Rifles. The solution was to replace them with paired standard [[Gauss rifle]]s, ER Medium Lasers, and an [[ER Large Laser]]. The added energy weapons reduce the 5B's ammo dependency compared to the original, but even with extra heat sinks installed it can still run quite hot so [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarriors]] must be mindful of their heat levels.<ref name=TRJp184f /> BV (1.0) = 2,230<ref>''Combat Operations'', p. 131</ref>, BV (2.0) = 2,625<ref>''Record Sheets: 3067 Unabridged'', p. 176</ref>

*; FNR-5WB : This [[Word of Blake]] variant replaces the torso weapons with an [[Improved C3 Computer]] and four [[plasma rifle]]s. The arms retain the ER Medium Laser of the original ''Fafnir''.

*; FNR-5X : This variant makes use of a pair of massive [[Experimental Technology|experimental]] [[Improved Heavy Gauss Rifle]]s, and removes the pulse laser to provide six tons of ammunition for the two guns. The ER Medium Lasers are left untouched. These models were used by the [[Skye Guards]] during the Coalition attack on Terra.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3085'', p. 191</ref> BV (2.0) = 2,610<ref>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged — Old is the New New'', p. 121</ref>

*; FNR-6U : This variant removes all the standard weaponry. It carries an [[Ultra Autocannon/20]] in each arm, while the side torsos each mount a pair of [[Light PPC]]s. A [[Light Fusion Engine]] is used to provide power, and [[Light Ferro-Fibrous]] armor provides protection. Twelve [[Double Heat Sink]]s are hardly enough to keep this variant's heat under control.

*; FNR-5E: The first PGI invented variant, the 5E is more focused on Missile and Ballistic weapons, the arms are affixed with a pair of [[LRM 5]] and [[LRM 10]] while in each torso carries an Ultra Autocannon/20, making this 'Mech a deadly adversary at both short and long range. Lacking any energy weaponry, the 5E carries four tons of Ultra autocannon rounds and three tons of LRM missiles.<ref name=MWO>''MechWarrior Online'' "Fafnir Sale Page"</ref>

*; FNR-6R : The second PGI invented variant, the 6R focuses on a mixture of [[Snub-Nose PPC]]'s and [[LB 5-X AC]]'s. The PPC's take positions in the Arms and Torso locations while the Autocannons are located in the right and left torso respectively. Giving this variant a deadly combination of both energy and ballistic capability, and able to put out serious withering fire. The 6R carries two tons of LB-X reloads and single ton of missiles for the efficient Streak launcher.<ref name=MWO/>
 
  
*; FNR-J(LGD) ''The Juggernaut'' : The ''Fafnir'' [[Legendary 'Mech]] is a dramatic inversion compared to other versions of the chassis, being built around a 400-rated standard engine, endo steel frame and near maximum [[Ferro-fibrous armor]] to mount eight heavy machine guns, two in each arm and side torso, fed from a combined six tons of ammunition.[https://mwomercs.com/news/2023/03/2730-patch-notes-142740-21march2023]

*; FNR-WR ''Wrath'' : The ''Fafnir'' [[Hero 'Mech]] is [[PGI]]'s take on Archon Peter Steiner-Davion's custom variant listed above. With MWO lacking Compact Gyros and C3 systems, as well as PGI seeking to restrict its missile hardpoints, the ''Wrath'' carries a mere four [[Rocket Launcher 15]]s, one in each arm and two more in the left torso, replacing the Endo Steel frame for [[ferro-fibrous]] armor instead with an extra ton of Heavy Gauss ammo carried in the right arm. The remaining weaponry and equipment matches the 4A custom.<ref name=MWO/>

*[[Peter Steiner-Davion]] - During the campaign for [[Tharkad]] at the end of the FedCom Civil War, Peter Steiner-Davion led his pan-Lyran coalition from the seat of a brand new ''Fafnir''. During the climactic street-to-street fighting in Tharkad City, he used it to defeat his great-aunt [[Nondi Steiner]] in a one-on-one fight. He later used a salvaged ''Fafnir'' during the siege of Tharkad that took place during the early part of the [[Jihad]].<ref>''Jihad Turning Points: Tharkad'', p. 2</ref>

*[[Steven Blasegga]] - The [[Hauptmann]] of the [[Second Royal Guards]] stood permanent guard outside the Royal Court as of [[3145]]. Blasegga was considered the best shot in the Second, shooting down a [[Clan Wolf]] [[Leopard CV]] with his paired Gauss rifles.<ref name=FM:3145p124>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 124, "Royal Guards"</ref>
