Technology & Combat Characteristics
Sunflare was built to provide covering fire when working in a squad, when working alone it's still a suit to be reckoned with. It's weapons range allow it to cover a multitude of ranges, even if it has to it can engage the enemy in close combat. When there's enough distance between it and it's target the suit can make use of sniper mode seriously increasing Sunflare's firepower.

Normal Mode
Normally the suit makes use of it's regular mid range-weapons and then using it's shield and high mobility for evasion and defence.

Sniper Mode
In this mode the suit deploys foot mounted magnets on metal platforms or foot mounted anchors to immobilise itself and then directs power to the "Longshot" sniper rifle. Additionally the suit systems focus on the sensor system allowing the pilot to utilise pinpoint accuracy when shooting.
