A curious modification at the very least, the Leviathan Booster package just makes the Warshark even more deadly than before. Effectively, it is a pair of braces that allow two modified Flexible Booster Modules to mount against the side of one of the main multi-environment engines. AIZDAT have found that though this tends to be a moderately energy-intensive modification, it is certainly rather worthwhile.

Each of the four boosters adds fifteen kilometers per hour of thrust, having lost some power in the conversion to being able to work underwater and underground. This means that with all the boosters running, the Warshark can move through the water at 100 knots, and through the ground at 120 kilometers per hour. Above ground, the boosters cannot operate as fast, otherwise the Warshark would fall over its own lobes, so the maximum travel speed is increased to 80 kilometers per hour. The braces the boosters are mounted on can pivot up, down and outwards by 30 degrees, allowing for a rather hefty jump in maneuverability for the Warshark.

It is important to note that the boosters can fire for roughly six seconds at a time, before requiring an equal amount of time to recharge. Also, due to the power consumption of the boosters themselves, the ability to use the weapons of a normal Flexible Booster Unit was disabled for fiscal reasons.
