Ok, I have one.
He says he is a gunslinger, not a sniper but the graphic says 'rifle'.
Also I got him at Sally Mustang's VIP room. For that I needed Aztek rep, not KH rep. Intentional?

Yes, AzTek Rep required - they run A12.
He is a gunslinger.
Which graphic says "rifle"?

Lt Kantu has the graphic for 'rifle'. Foxx (the Agent X) has the graphic for 'pistol'. Fennex (my CK) has 'gloves' and 'clubs'. Which reminds me -- it would be good if the Agent X graphic indicated 'assault rifle' as well, since that is the unique Agent X ability. Ok, Lt Kantu is a gunslinger who cannot wield pistols. Seems very odd to me, means Kantu can never get to dual-shot?

Lt Kantu's Street Coat can be removed -- and of course is, when you give the poor guy some decent armour.

Lt Kantu started out equipping an SR-17 in hand 1 and a scout splinter mag. I bought him a second SR-17 to see if he could dual wield those. But the one I bought only went on top of the first item slot -- I had to get another weapon he could weild and put that in slot 1 before I could set him up with 2 SR-17s. Maybe this is something we cannot work around. There's unhappiness here -- if you are on a budget and can only afford 1 new weapon for this mercenary, which one of his starting weps would you like to replace first? It is hard to argue that the scount splinter mag is good for anything except kindling. If we could find a way to use it as a club ... It's such a wretched weapon. On the other hand, without any heavy rounds the SR-17 is worth exactly nothing. And if you could afford the heavy rounds, would you buy them first?
All in all, I think so, so I suggest swapping weapon 1 and weapon 2 for the KH Mercenary.
And he couldn't dual shot the shotguns, either, so there really isn't much point in getting him a second SR-17. (If you favour shotguns, which I don't, there are better ones.)
But I am puzzled about a non-dual shooting gunslinger. Why would we want to hire one of those? The new art is nice, of course, but still ...

Thanks for the feedback, we'll keep trying to improve how Runners works.

I thought Agent Exes could only use submachine autos? They can't use auto rifles anyway.

I thought Agent Exes could only use submachine autos? They can't use auto rifles anyway. You are mistaken. I used to think that too. But the truth is that they cannot use the brown rifles that look like rifles -- the HunterSight, MK251 bounty, etc. But they are great at assault rifles. I kit my Agent Ex runners out in Yakashima MX Defender (from Back Bay Importers) Power 5 Penetration 6 Accuracy 5 Ammo 22 Auto Range 5 AP 6 Speed 4 and M21 Assault Rifle (from Fairlight Outfitters) Power 6 Penetration 6 Accuracy 3 Ammo 24 Auto Range 6 AP 5 Speed 4 The second is a much better gun, but only if you can hit with it ... And believing that they can only use submachine guns is the reason why I think it would be a very good idea to change the graphic.

Maybe in theory, but in practice all the agent ex runners we can hire have the exact same weapon restrictions, and cannot use brown rifles.

Trying to give your posts a thumbs up at least, but I haven't been able to do that on mobile devices for the past few weeks either. No exalts, now no thumbs up? Is this forum section eating Proboard's lifetime allotment of good post markers?!

Officer Genious: Your TU shows up on tapatalk... Noticed that my TUs didn't show up on the web version, either, but on TaT.
