Volk

The Volk is a wanzer model featured in Left Alive.

Volk (Russian: Wolf) is a new wanzer built by using secret plans stolen from the U.C.S.

Although the U.C.S. already have realized the theft of the plans early on, the upper echelons have kept the incident under wraps in order to not take responsibility for the loss of such top secret information.

The wanzer's configuration is built upon using the MULS-PA standard. It's interchangeable armor and other functions set it apart from every other wanzer on Earth, probably because it is deemed to be a prototype/experimental unit meant to be used with the next-gen standard, regardless even if the plans were stolen or not.

Overview
Due to the Volk being a supposedly experimental unit, it is not properly known what the full capabilities of the wanzer are. The ones seen in the Invasion of Novo Slava are seemingly configured as an assault-type unit with long range options by default. The wanzer is normally equipped with a machine gun, a missile launcher and a high powered railgun allowing it to be able to attack enemies effectively at any range. The Volk also has increased maneuverability due to the enhancements to the leg engines provided from being built with the MULS-PA standard, which included the folding side-rollers installed on the hip areas. This provided the wanzer enhanced mobility and options especially when in combat compared to a wanzer built with the regular MULS-P standard.

Besides to just both hands and both shoulders, the wanzer is also compatible of being able to take advantage of using back-mounted weaponry, mounted to one or both of its shoulder blade areas. Not many standard type wanzers are capable of such a function or are very rarely seen if at all.
