Nearly all of the Rangers had been placed in the exact same situation. The equipment they had received from the Gilt Rats—the specialized exoskeletons—had been heavily damaged during the previous war.
The Gilt Rats had put a massive amount of R&D funding and capital behind creating that specialized equipment, and the custom parts were incredibly hard to come by. It was going to take a significant amount of time before they could fully recreate the suits, leaving them with only one viable alternative: use whatever salvaged components they had left to build brand-new, customized weapons for each Ranger.
And that was precisely why Wolf was now equipped with specialized metal claws designed to fit directly over his fingertips.
The devices were remarkably flexible in design, extending down to cover most of his palm, while the tips tapered into extremely sharp, elongated metallic talons. He wasn't just wearing the apparatus on one hand, either—he had a matching set fitted to both.
