Rounding out its arsenal was a set of head-mounted vulcan guns and collar-mounted machine cannons.
The Deathscythe also carries a Buster Shield on its left arm, which doubled as launchable scissor katar. The power and reach of the scythe enabled it to destroy most single (and sometimes multiple) targets in one sweep.
The Deathscythe's primary weapon was its namesake beam scythe. With the highest speed amongst the original five Gundams, the Gundam Deathscythe's battle style revolves around approaching the enemy rapidly, striking and then retreating. This allowed it to sneak into facilities and even right up to enemy mobile suits without being detected. It has outstanding stealth capabilities, with a pair of Hyper Jammers mounted on its backpack that prevented the Gundam from showing up on radar or visual sensors, rendering it invisible to most electronics. The Gundam Deathscythe was the 'masterpiece' of Professor G.
