-The Wolfhound is intended to serve two primary purposes: as an anti-vehicle weapon carried by the heaviest of power armors, and as a vehicle mounted anti-vehicle cannon. For that purposes, the weapon was given the relatively lightweight and capable, yet easy to produce UMD Canister as a primary weapon.+The Wolfhound is intended to serve two primary purposes: as an anti-vehicle weapon carried by the heaviest of power armors, and as a vehicle-mounted anti-vehicle cannon. For that purpose, the weapon was given the relatively lightweight and capable, yet easy to produce UMD Canister as a primary weapon.
  
 In order to achieve the high velocities that the Wolfhound's projectile achieves when fired, and still retain a relatively small weapon, the Wolfhound virtually extends the length of the barrel when firing. It does this using a high powered combat laser to ionize the air directly in front of the barrel, then extends electromagnetic fields that shape the plasma into a virtual electromagnetically charged rails. When the weapon's round is accelerated by the weapon's own internal rails, the virtual barrel will functionally extend the time the payload is accelerated for. When in a situation with no atmosphere, the Wolfhound can spit out its own gas to be ionized. In order to achieve the high velocities that the Wolfhound's projectile achieves when fired, and still retain a relatively small weapon, the Wolfhound virtually extends the length of the barrel when firing.

-When used by an armorsuit, the Wolfhound is a big bazooka of a weapon that requires the user to rest the weapon atop his shoulder while firing rounds from a five round magazine. The weapon is still large, however, and prevents a marine in armor from using a second primary weapon alongside it. It is recommended that the Wolfhound only be used by the [[wip:faction:nepleslia:equipment:aggressor]].+When used by an armorsuit, the Wolfhound is a big bazooka of a weapon that requires the user to rest the weapon atop his shoulder while firing rounds from a five-round magazine.

-  * Weapon Sight: The Wolfhound is fired by pointing and firing; there's no need to lock on to a target. Simply adjust for movement and other factors and let go. There is a side mounted scope that can link in to the HUD of a Power Armor to assist in aiming through the use of a Monoeye. +  * Weapon Sight: The Wolfhound is fired by pointing and firing; there's no need to lock on to a target.
