The AX/LAS-5 "Guard Dog" Rover is a backpack Stratagem that provides fire support fire to the player. Wielding a downsized LAS-5 Scythe, it is able to clear small enemies relatively quickly, and frees up the owner to be able to respond to more dangerous threats.

Tactical Information
- Because it independently attacks targets near the player, the Guard Dog Rover is a very handy stratagem to carry in scenarios where the are large numbers of enemies that need to be dispatched.
- The Guard Dog Rover's damage output is roughly equal to that of the LAS-7 Dagger, though dealing twice as much structural damage. This, combined with its inability to penetrate medium armor, makes it an ideal stratagem to use against Terminids.
- Unlike the AX/AR-23 "Guard Dog", the Guard Dog Rover is not reliant on ammunition to function, though in exchange it is also incapable of killing targets as quickly. It is best employed on planets with cold weather, which will help cool its heat sink faster and allow it to stay in action for longer periods of time.
- The Guard Dog Rover tends to fire in a continuous beam as it tracks from target to target, and this beam can be a danger to both the wielder and to any nearby teammates. Caution should be exercised to not get between the Guard Dog Rover and any potential targets, as it can inflict a substantial amount of friendly fire damage and even accidentally kill teammates in worst case scenarios.
