My team is developing. I've got a gunslinger and an agent ex. I just want to get them some chrome and better armor and they will be ready to stand and slug it out just about anywhere. I have yet to find a runner who can wield a shot gun. It would be nice if gun slingers were able to use them as well. I'm thinking of getting combat blades for my gunslinger, would that allow him to use automatic weapons? No. nobody can use auto but you. you will not be able to get combat blades for your gs in any event. Before, curse it all, Cory fixed things, I used to cyberclaw up my agent ex and face and hacker runners. Loved it. But Cory said 'bug not feature'... sigh .... deep sigh ... |

Ack, didn't know about the auto! Well, I guess I'll have to leave my pistols behind then. Can runners use smgs at least? |

Runners can use long rifles(snipers), pistols (agent exes, gunslingers, faces, hackers), gloves (martial artist cyberswords), and clubs(thug cyberswords).

They basically do exactly the same that a CK face (negotiation and stealth) but with lower skills level than you (at first. Of course, you could raise their skills  ) if I remember correctly, you can hire them from AzTek but I not 100% sure of that point. Maybe grävling can tell you more.

I've found that my Agent Ex can use automatic weapons, but not shotguns. He currently uses an Assault Rifle or MX Defender.
So combat blades can only be "installed" on a Martial Artist or Cybersword? It does allow them to use automatic weapons though right?

And getting them does not allow you to use automatic weapons with them, they are gloves only. And I seem to have been very tired when I wrote the earlier. It is the automatic rifles and shotguns I have yet to find a runner that can use. Regular rifles that use auto ammo work great, though, with sniper runners. |

grävling, much thanks. What does it mean then when the description of the combat blades says "adds automatic weapons?" Also, per the OP, this all makes me think that shotguns have a very limited use in the game if there are no runners that can use them. In terms of realism that seems highly improbable. I wonder if Cory Trese and fallen would consider a adding shotguns as a weapon for one type of runner, or perhaps adding a some sort of purchasable training that would allow a gunslinger to use them. Hmmmmm, purchasable training, that opens up a whole new world in CK. I'm thinking The Matrixesque downloads of skills and abilities. "I can fly a Thopter!"

These blades are weapons you can automatically use when punching is, I believe the intent of the 'adds automatic weapons' comment, but I think that the text should be changed. |

"Used automatically" "the blades get out of the back of user's hand with each strike" "muscle controlled blades that expand when you strike at something" Just some ideas... |

Sent from my HTC Desire S using proboards Turns out Yakuza has faces and snipers. Whoot!! fallen - How about fist blades? Adamantium claws (Wolverine!!)? Skele-blades? Hand-blades? Slicers (Bioshock!!)? Cutters? Nano-blade implants? Any of those sound good or are they too plain? I can think of better original names later, I think. And how much damage do the blades do? Why get them over gloves? |

You mainly want blades over any gloves because you're doing HP damages with blades. Meaning you can go over that assassination target ans slit his throat with your bare hands (well not really bare but you know what I mean ) That way you can shift between gloves to stun and blades to kill as you need  |
