Hawken has a lot of Abbreviations Such as AM-SAR(anti-mech semi aoutomatic rifle...I guess) that are shown in capitals in the kill feed. But a lot of these are not explained.

  • PN-223
  • TOW Rocket launcher
  • SAARE Launcher
  • EOC repeater/predator
  • KE Sabot
  • Corsair KLA
  • Hawkins RPR
  • SA hawkins

 Help me find what these stand for and maybe you'll get a cookie ^_^

TOW actually means Tube-launched, Optically tracked, Wire-guided.

KLA is a pun because it sounds like claw and it sure looks like one.

Well that's the sensible answer.

PN-223 - Pneumatic Nail-gun

TOW - Tube-launched, Optically tracked, Wire-guided (<= This is official)

SAARE - Semi-Automatic ARea of Effect Launcher

KE Sabot - Kinetic Energy Sabot

KLA - Claw

RPR - Rapid Projectile Repeater

 

I can't make up any for SA Hawkins though.

EOC is End of Chain. I think the name was given in the weapons description somewhere.

TOW= Tubelaunched, Optically tracked, wireguided

EOC= Explosive Ordnance Chain

MIRV= Multiple Individually targetable Reentry Vehicle

KE= Kinetic Energy

 

Though the TOW and MIRV (and maybe others) are misnomers in this game and should be replaced with something more accurate or descriptive. Like RD (Remote Detonation) Rocket Launcher.

Maybe originally conceived as 'Semi-Automatic', but the name stuck even though it's fully-auto.

Okay makes sense, all they need to do is change it to FA hawkins. This should be #1 on the priority list IMO.

It stands for "Accessible Area", and it refers to the all the area not inside the no-mechs-allowed zone immediately surrounding a surface-to-air battery. As long as you aren't in the glowing square you are in the AA, and should be safe.
