Team member restrictions

[Deleted]

Hi everyone. : )

I was reading up on team members in the in-game help pages.
It mentioned that you can turn all your team into cyber knights. I suppose this means you can augment them?

I have a female Cybersword.
I wanted to give her a taser as a second weapon, but she says no. If I put xp into firearms, will she then use the taser?


Also noticed that one of my Cyberswords has equipped TWO hammers! Is that one for each hand, and increases the attack damage, (duel wielding)? Or is this an error? 0.o


Thank you.

No that restriction is class-related; in your example, a cybersword can't equip any gun, only melee weapons (or cyberblades, an implant); and yes u can augment your team members with cyberware, remember first to select the guy u want to augment, then buy the implant;) and yes, u can make your runners better team members, converting them as Allies(they stay with you without a time term finish), it costs XP, for your runner and your main PC both (at least 50 xp collected to make this possible, 25 xp to spend (? I dont remember) to make it happen) ;
Hope it helps

Ah, and from my gaming experience, there's no dual welding bonus in ck

[Cory Trese]

There are no point bonuses but dual wielding has some huge advantages for ranged fighters.

For the Cybersword, there is a lesser, but still useful one if you're mixing the right weapons.

The Runners are more specific than Knights.

You'll have one Knight and a collection of Runners.

The Runners will, in general, be more limited than the Knight.

May I ask for moar info on the ranged buff?

Wow!
Thanks for all the replies!
This is a fantastic and helpful forum.

Switching weapons takes 0AP, and CK doesn't penalize for secondary weapon use.

So two pistols, a shotgun and a pistol, a taser and a sniper rifle. Lots of valid builds.

The engine also supports class-specific buttons in the Attack/Defend AttackMelee/DefendMelee screens but we haven't used it yet.

Aim/position?

Take your female cybersword over to Back Bay Importers in Old Kenmore and equip her with the Taser Glove. It is the best weapon in the game, much better than a regular taser. You'll see.

I just think they have missed me. There is no 'stinger' in that advice to get the Taser Glove -- it really is a great weapon.

[Swami]

I agree. That is one of the reasons all my runners are either "special" or martial artists. Best weapon in the game currently.
