================================================================================================
Overview:
    The Jorōgumo 2 was the first variant upon the design to be made by Clan Wolf after the
    Widowmakers' Annihilation, using exclusively Wolf-made components. While retaining the same
    role as a sniper, it attempts to increase survivability by using an all-energy loadout -
    certainly making ammo explosions a nonexistent issue, but introducing the problem of heat
    management due to even the increased cooling package proving barely insufficient to keep the
    immense waste heat from overtaxing it.
    
    The 'Mech would be produced by Clan Wolf-in-Exile's Arc-Royal facility during the Jihad to
    replace losses to the Word of Blake.

Capabilities:
    The Black Arachne 2's primary firepower is provided by the daring move to mount two Type DDS
    "Kingston" ER PPCs on its right arm. While Clan ER PPCs are able to attack at close range,
    it does have some minor dedicated close-range weapons in the form of two WC5 Light Fang
    Small Pulse Lasers. These more often find use in taking out infantry trying to infiltrate
    its sniping position.
    
    The Double Heat Sink count of the design is increased to 16, which minimizes its waste heat
    sinking deficit as much as possible, though it cannot get rid of it fully due to weight and
    space limits preventing the addition of just one more DHS.
