One of several powered up variants of the basic LM314V21 Victory 2 Gundam, the League Militaire’s LM314V24 Victory 2 Assault Gundam was designed as a heavy duty assault/defense unit. The V2 Assault was equipped with a pair of I-field barrier generators, making this mobile suit almost impossible to touch with beam weapons. As a redundancy, the V2 Assault was also equipped with a set of gold-colored, anti-beam coated armor plates all over its body. Firepower was also increased, in the form of a pair of hip-mounted VSBRs (Variable Speed Beam Rifles) capable of penetrating conventional mobile suit beam shields, and often a hand-carried mega beam rifle similar to that used on the LM312V04+SD-VB03A Victory Dash Gundam. Although the extra armor and weapons increased its weight and slowed down its maneuverability, the V2 Assault Gundam was equipped for endurance and a long haul battle. These optional parts for the V2 Assault were also designed to be interchangeable with optional parts for the LM314V23 Victory 2 Buster Gundam, thus allowing a mix-and-match combination of parts and weapons as needed for specific mission roles (for example, the LM314V23/24 Victory 2 Assault Buster Gundam).
