Chapter 4 focuses on listing equipment from Ultra-Tech, High-Tech and Low-Tech that is available in the Zones, with an emphasis on UT because the setting has been bumped from TL9 under 3e to TL10 under 4e.

It also sets out three robot-fighting styles and makes some brief mention within the text of Gun Fu and Action, but these are less important I think than having the stats for an ETC payload rifle or an M72 LAW.

And as far as recovering weapons from trashed robots, it has about a half a page on the time investment, necessary skills, and what you need to pull a device's components out of a robot frame, attach readouts, triggers and stocks, and various packaging, and get it suitable for a human to pull out and wave around.
