R216 Weaponry
Weapons, like all other equipment, have a tech level ranging from 1 to 6, with the higher numbers more advanced. Higher
tech "ranged weapons" fire before lower level weapons in combat (R230F), and are more likely to hit (R230D). Advanced
weapons often do more damage, especially explosive weapons (R230E). Weapons may be purchased through contacts
(R227), acquired in events, or taken from an opponent defeat in combat.
A character needs a marksmanship rating of one (1) or higher (R201A) to fire a weapon. Characters with marksmanship of
zero cannot fire weapons. Robots are unable to fire weapons, their programming prohibits it. Certain weapons can only be
used by certain types of characters, as described below.
