DAT · 03-12-2021, 09:59 PM

If a player has a Human or Bioroid character that wants to go Rambo with a squad support weapon (like a Storm Chaingun), firing from the hip on the move, the answer is to buy a Gyrostabilized Weapon Harness. For those who haven’t looked up a Gyrostabilized Weapon Harness, they reduce weapon ST requirement, the weapon in it counts as braced, and it cancels penalties for walking or running while firing the weapon.

If a player has a RATS character, with integral weapon(s), and wants a similar system as a Gyrostabilized Weapon Harness for their integral weapon(s), what is an appropriate point cost?

Is it a per weapon Perk (Gyrostabilizer) or something more?

Any thoughts?
