================================================================================================
Overview:
    One of Promethean Armouries' very short list of lostech Resurrection-series mechs to be
    produced on Loxley, and thus also a mass-produced model. The ARC-2Rβ preceded the -4M by a
    solid 14 years, but production volume could never hope to compete. PA's -2Rβ offered larger
    LRM bins instead of the -4M's rear-facing lasers.
    
    Rather than trying to outsell the -4M, Promethean Armouries ended up providing support,
    supplementary production and repair services under contract. It was a very lucrative
    arrangement.

Capabilities:
    The -2Rβ was essentially the -2A with double heat sinks and 50% more ammunition, resolving
    the two biggest complaints about the platform.

Variants:
    The -2Rβ was marketed as part of PA's Lostech Resurrection series, with later successors
    labelled as Re-incarnation models as future advancements added more functionality but took
    new models further away from the -2Rb.
