The Packrat is respectably armed but normally uses its high speed to evade combat, as its role is not to fight head-on battles but conduct long-range reconnaissance and raiding missions.  Mounted in front is a Harvester 20K [[SRM-6]], supplied by a two-ton ammo bin.  Covering the rear is an HS [[Flamer]] System, useful for anti-infantry work and laying down concealment to effect an escape.  The Packrat does carry an impressive amount of armoring for its size, with four tons helping the vehicle hold its own in limited confrontations.<ref name=TRO3025r/><ref name=TRO3039/>

The six-ton Doorman 120 fusion engine not only gives the Packrat almost exceptional speed and maneuverability but untethers it from needing refueling during its sometimes months-long missions.  Each of its eight solid rubber tires, impossible to deflate, have their own suspension and drive system.  Supplies and repair equipment are stored efficiently, allowing the one-ton [[infantry bay]] to carry up to ten troopers, with fold-down cots providing sleeping arrangements for eight.  Equally important is the Packrat's [[O/P COMTES]] communications system, the most powerful one of its size.  While not as capable of those used during the [[Star League era]], the O/P is notable for its ability to transmit over great distances and provide local [[ECM]] coverage.<ref name=TRO3025r/><ref name=TRO3039/>
