Tracked Chassis
Tracked Chassis HWP's are the only initially available HWP on offer to X-COM forces.
Two variants, the Tank/Rocket and Tank/Cannon, can be purchased from the start of the conflict. The Tank/Laser must be researched and manufactured.
All variants can be upgraded to their upgraded Alloy variant when the appropriate unit is researched.

Variants
Tank/Cannon
Cost: $420,000
Least exceptional HWP, but do not underestimate. Unlike its vanilla counterpart this variant uses high explosive cannon rounds instead of armour piercing, the High Explosive Cannon Shells can rip apart blocking Terrain, Alien foes, Civilians and Soldiers easily. Large ammo reserves are situationally useful on long/terror missions. The ability to order Tank/Cannon's instead of needing to construct them can make them effective as a relativity cheap defensive item for base defence.
Compared to the Tank/Rocket, this version deals less damage per shot, and has a small blast radius, but it can output more shots per turn and has a larger ammo reserve to accommodate for that.
| Cannon Turret Information | |
|---|---|
| Type | HWP Cannon Shells |
| Damage | 60 (HE) |
| Ammunition | 30 |
| Aimed Shot | 54%(80% TU) |
| Snap Shot | 36%(33% TU) |
Tank/Rocket
Cost: $460,000
Effective HWP with a strong weapon. Will struggle to kill armoured targets such as Cyberdisks or Chrysalids but is very effective against softer targets. Also doubles as an effective method of clearing the terrain. While less powerful than Large or Elerium rockets, the ability to carry 8 of them at a time is invaluable.
| Rocket Turret Information | |
|---|---|
| Type | HWP Rocket |
| Damage | 85 (HE) |
| Ammunition | 8 |
| Aimed Shot | 69%(75% TU) |
| Snap Shot | 33%(45% TU) |
Tank/Laser
Cost/Manufacture: $500,000, 1000 Engineering Hours
An improvement over the Tank/Cannon. The Tank/Laser is equipped with a respectfully powerful Laser cannon, and functionally have infinite ammo in the field and do not require ammunition to be manufactured for them. The chief strength of the Tank/Laser is their 'relative' cheapness, the fact they do not require alien alloys nor elerium makes them affordable if a strong and cheap force of HWP's is needed for defensive or secondary strike team operations.
