- Rough terrain: The walker can move over even the roughest terrain, and much like the AT-TE from the Clone Wars era it can climb vertical rock, concrete, or metal surfaces
- Gun platform: The multitude of weapons mounted on the walker make it a fearsome opponent to everything from infantry to tanks, and even to starfighters.
- Not stealthy: The walker creates a massive racket when it moves as claws dig into the ground as it walks and motors whine.
- Sluggish: The walker is slow, and cannot turn quickly
The “Beacon” is a large walker that is primarily used as an anti-infantry gun platform, using its chin mounted weapon to counter horde tactics favored by some factions. The walker also carries a few anti air weapons that can threaten large gunships and some corvettes. The Beacon also carries a large number of concussion missiles, giving it options against more heavily armoured opponents.
The legs of the walker are designed for very rough terrain, and the passenger compartment also allows it to function in a transport role when other vehicles are not suitable. The vehicle also carries a land mine detector, allowing it to avoid placed explosives when traversing mined areas.
