Some of the best computers can be found in the back rooms of Yakashima. Get to a rep of around ten and save up about 18,000 yen to get a good 4 job one. They are sold by a guy named Mitchell.

There is a 2 job computer out of Back Bay Importers in Old Kenmore (among other places). Mars Corp Importers in Beacon Hill sells a 3 job computer.
You get Sniper runners in Blue Ox and Yakashima back rooms. The Yakashima back room has a wonderful computer salesman, too.
Your baby sniper wants a very accurate rifle until he has worked quite a bit on his firearms. Otherwise he will just miss.

Einer noch! (For those of you who don't speak German, I said one more... Probably. I'm still learning, leave me alone)
I got Los Val pay data. What's that and how do I get money from it?

There are 2 ways. You can find, via random drop, the Vchip of somebody who is interested in such things. Or you can go to a VIP room of some enemy of Los V and hope that somebody there is interested in the thing. They are the only ones who buy it. Note, it will only make that person a little bit more pleased with you, while your rep with Los V will plummet like the proverbial stone, so make sure this is what you want to do (i.e the pay you get is worth it).

Heh, I'm already enemies with the Los Val, so... I'm friends with the Yakuza, the Fennians. Okay with K. Horizon (due to their presence just above the Fennians), Streets. Don't interact much with The other corps, Blue Ox. Enemies with Los Val. They attacked me a few times  so I'm fine with losing rep with them. |

This is often the way for Hunders. You get a cash bonus for escort missions, so you do those a lot, and Fennian and the Streets have a lot of them. It is very much worth it to increase your rep with the Streets, since you are constantly walking through their territory with your escorts. But that doesn't leave much time for working on your Los V rep. Plus Vinnie is a real nuisance, in this case, because he wants to send you to KH which is only a good idea after you can kill Predator Drones. Otherwise, well, it is easy to go to that well once too often.

Alright, I want to be prepared before I ever meet one in combat.
Are drones as hard as people make then seem? If so, how do you fight them?

I would imagine that drones are like ST aliens. That and corporate security ... together they kill most Knights.

To a new knight without decent gun skill, drones will always be the end of you. You also want good armor. You should also have enough points to move more than 6 spaces at least three times so you stand a chance of out running them. Guns with high power and penetration are what you'll want to have. A gunslinger knight with 2 Raptor II's for dual shot and 9 points in gun skill can 9 out 10 times one shot kill a drone. It takes a long time and shitloads of money to get to that point though. Just be patient and work those gang lands first for XP, yen, and free handouts of ammo and armor.

Alright, I want to be prepared before I ever meet one in combat. Are drones as hard as people make then seem? If so, how do you fight them? Drones are effectively the make or break point of a knight. They're quick and can fire just about forever for low agility characters, so you'll find all sorts of dead bodies lying around Corp land because of foolish knights. As for their human counterparts, they range from simply dangerous to "Good god he just crushed my dreams" levels of dangerous. Agent EXs are definitely scary and a real test to Knights not investing in agility. Did I mention agility is important? Because it is. Get that Move speed up or pay the consequences! |

You want hard armour. Tekka House of guns sells the cheapest sort.
Then you have to decide how to deal with the drones. The evil sort have tons and tons of Mental Points and are fast, fast, fast.
So they will be up against you in no time.
I think that the Genious was recommending you increase Athletics, not Agility.
The sheep has outlined how you kill a Drone with a gunslinger. Snipers should get the mk251 bounty from Back Bay Importers, unless their shooting skill is very, very high. Because if you miss the Drone, there is every chance that you will not survive the encounter. If your sniper doesn't worry about missing any more, get a more damaging weapon. Agent Exs want an Assault Rifle.
Buy many stims. You cannot afford to stim yourself up to 10MP every time you enter Drone territory, but often when the fight starts you want to spend your first move swallowing the things because you can tell it is going to be nasty. Have medkits on hand. Surviving the Drone to get popped by a ganger on the way to a healer feels really, really bad.

Should I keep my hunds away from one?
At the moment (except in MnB) I'm almost exclusively playing hunder. I really like the class.

so I'm fine with losing rep with them.
