SPARK (LW2)

These high-powered robotic units can unleash devastating frontline attacks or absorb incoming fire and protect the squad.
- SPARK Armor: All SPARKs are built with simple metallic plates to cover their core systems.
- Primary Weapon: Heavy Autocannon
- Secondary Weapon: SPARK BIT
- Heavy Weapon: Shredder Gun
SPARKs do not have utility slots like regular soldiers. Instead they have a single Heavy Weapon slot which by default contains the Shredder Gun. After researching appropriate projects, this can be swapped out for the improved Shredstorm Cannon or a Plasma Blaster.
The SPARK BIT has the ability to remotely hack targets just like the Specialist's GREMLIN.
SPARKs are more expensive for infiltration.
