Pellinore

The Pellinore is a previously non-pilotable Loyalist powersuit, equipped with an Auxiliary and Small hardpoint. It became pilotable in the Blood Anniversary Update of June 7th, 2021.

== Acquisitions Entry ==
Somewhat more uncommon powersuit with an Auxiliary mount and the distinctive left hand "shield" plate, the Pellinore is better equipped than a Mongoose and can take twice the beating. Basically a command variant. Better comms, longer range, better than a Mongoose in most respects save the much larger profile. It can’t keep pace with larger leg units, and so tends not to be paired as frequently for escort like the Mogs, but will take a Carlos on the chin without breaking stride. Extending and "accidentally" thumping the head of an unruly civvie with a shield is against regs, yet somehow new drivers always get trained how to do it? -MB
== Notes & Strategy==
* Due to the Pellinore's left hand shield, you can block 20% of incoming damage by facing the shield toward the enemy.
* Think of Pellinore as Buckmaster's little brother, but instead of fielding the fearsome Zeus it instead field the rapid-firing Galinha in its Auxiliary slot while fielding the same secondary Small slot.
* The reasoning behind the comparison above is that you could field a similar loadout to Armbruster's Buckmaster, but with a role reversal twist: The larger Auxiliary slot fielding the rapid-firing Galinha, more powerful than the 8mm spewing Bonesaw and thus more adept at quickly dispatching weaker to medium strength swarm, while equipping the Carlos for its Small slot to critically wound (if not kill outright) heavier vehicles. Obviously it won't have the same burst damage potential when compared to Armbruster's Hunter unit (Or penetration for that matter) but it trades it for a more balanced performance between DPS (Galinha vs Bonesaw) and Burst Damage (Carlos vs Zeus)
* Do keep in mind that, same as the Buckmaster, Pellinore(s) have little staying power in a straightforward engagement with adversaries of superior firepower/number (Only being 100 hull points short from matching Buckmaster's defense stat). It is also much slower than the agile Buckmaster so keep your exits close and maintain cover (structures, smoke, active camo). Maintain a healthy dose of combat awareness and don't let yourself get flanked! Galinha's shots are really loud.
