📋 About This Mod
A ModTek mod that switches the primary weapons for Wheeled APCs from Machine Guns to ER Small Lasers.
Because on the rare chance that you're on a base defense mission with Wheeled APCs and they don't get killed getting into range of an enemy, it'd be nice if they could actually output enough damage to make themselves useful.
Installation:
MODTEK
You will need to install ModTek first: https://github.com/Mpstark/ModTek
In your Battletech folder, navigate to "BATTLETECH\Mods\" and unpack the base folder from the archive.
You should see inside "Mods" a folder which contains a json file and a subfolder (with even more subfolders inside).

With 11 endorsements and 100 downloads, it's a niche tweak for players who want more laser-based firepower on their APCs. Last updated in 2018, so compatibility with current versions is uncertain.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Tiny download (100 downloads) — quick to install and test
- Gives APCs a punchier energy weapon option for laser-focused builds
- Straightforward change — no complex dependencies
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2018 — may not work with the latest game patches
- Only affects Wheeled APCs, so it's a narrow tweak

💡 Beginner Tips
- Check if your game version is compatible — the mod is from 2018, so you may need to adjust for newer patches.
- If you use a mod manager, install via that to keep track of changes; otherwise, manually place files in the mods folder.
- Test in a quick skirmish to see if the ER Small Lasers perform as expected on APCs.
