I've noticed a few builds here that don't use the lower arm and hand parts to improve the ice ferret. I would love to see more builds have them selected from the go, so they are Min/Maxed from the get go.
Yeah, perhaps they are unequipped by default? Also, do the hand actuators even do anything? I thought they were useless in this game, just there because they exist in Battletech.
the lower arm points should increase arm movement, not sure about hands. But if you have the slots, use them all!
Smurfy does not include lower arm and hand actuators in the build link, so they're unchecked by default, even if they're meant to be. Or at least that's what it has been like for a while.
I'm pretty sure it just adds a smaller chance for the weapon in the arm to be critted, since the Hand is included as a slot and may be able to get hit. Also it looks better
