{{Mech Description
|Description=With its low profile, the Bushwacker is hard to notice on the battlefield. This serves it well, because the Bushwacker's favorite tactic is to snipe from range with its LRMs and Autocannon.
|Strengths=Careful utilization of weapons slots is critical for the Bushwacker. The chassis performs like a Heavy, but carries the weapons of a Medium. It can make an effective missile support mech, if enough ammunition can be carried to satisfy a long engagement. Another option is to mount a heavier ballistic weapon in the right arm ([[Gauss Rifle]], [[LBX20]] ect). [[BAP]] gives it some use as a scout, but its lack of speed hinders it somewhat in this role. It carries good armor protection, and this, along with its good agility enhances its survivability. With its [[Enhanced Optics]], the Bushwacker makes a valuable sniper able to engage enemies quickly from flanking positions. <ref>[http://trm.mektek.net/index_mechs.htm MechWarrior4 - Technical Reference Manual]</ref>
|Weaknesses=Not a design lending itself to specialization, the Bushwacker is almost totally ammunition dependent. While it is a capable sniper, where it can patrol the rear areas and engage enemy targets of opportunity, its lack of speed will limit it's ability to deploy to distant operational areas. Its heaviest weapons are restricted to it's arms, where they are vulnerable. Its agility makes it a difficult target, but the legs are notoriously easy to hit.<ref>[http://trm.mektek.net/index_mechs.htm MechWarrior4 - Technical Reference Manual]</ref>
