Mech Playtest Weapon Slots clarification?

[Sebmaster777]

So looking at certain weapons, their slots are listed as Slots: 1 (upper limb, frame), like in the case of the gatling gun.

Does this mean that these weapons require two slots, one in the upper limb and one in the frame? I'm leaning toward yes because in the hammerfist's entry it's slots are formatted like this: Slots: 1 (upper limb or lower limb).

This kind of implies that those that don't have OR in their slots are supposed to take one in each of the listed locations.

Any thoughts?

I think it means that it can be installed either on he upper limb or the frame. Your gatling gun can be installed on your hand or your shoulder ;)

I think Sebmaster777 is correct.

Buzzblade and Shears reads:
- Slots 1 (upper limb, lower limb)

And Hammerfist reads:
- Slots 1 (upper limb or lower limb)

This means that weapons like the Sonic Shotgun..
- Slots 1 (frame, upper limb)

This means you need to use up one of your frame and upper limb slots just to equip the Sonic Shotgun.

While buzzblade and shears requires you to equip a upper limb and lower limb slot.

And hammerfist requires you to either equip a upper limb or lower limb slot.

I think they're all supposed to say 'or', and the missing word was missed on the playtest proofread.
