![]() Think of it as a grenade you may be able to recover, or a last ditch defensive move. The idea here is that if your teammate drops their smart SMG or machine pistol platform you can go ham with it for a few turns to buy them some time. The downside is that it is the least capable option on its own, it can't reload itself, and unlike a drone can't really tank hits, but if you rig it or remote control it then you are just dandy on offensive pool. ![]() To get a gun turret your teams can carry about and quickly set up, you have a few options.Ī smartgun platform is the cheapest, it runs you the price of a smargun enabled weapon plus 2,500 nuyen. The MCT gun turret is a full instillation. Chemistry is a great thing to mix in with the Doc-Rigger, because you can make low addiction custom drugs on the cheap. Medicine isn't worth dumping a ton of points into, but you can get good milage out of a few ranks on some runs because it lets you aid someone in recovering from stun very quickly. You can basically turn hyper-fast medium drones into missiles that can't ever miss for very little nuyen if you cook the bomb yourself.įinally, as a logic based character who is probably going to also be high on skills, keep an eye out for support skills your team won't have on their decker or hermetic mage. If you got the spare skillpoints, demolitions is also great, because of the car bomb rules. If someone gets hurt, you can heal them while they keep on hustling through the run. Likewise, first aid is a great rigger skill, as you can remote operate first aid kits with a hotsim and wireless bonus. If someone is surprised by a non-astral non-matrix threat, it is on the rigger. Riggers also synergize with other skills that can be remotely used, such as operating your team's sensor arrays with EWAR so that you are basically always rolling a super high perception as if you were next to everyone. That way if they get isolated and in trouble they can just toss down their turret and you can take over it to start blasting people down. Sure, a Steel Lynx in your van is a good panic button, but giving every member of your team a machine pistol with a smargun platform to carry in their kit, or if they are really strong a Aztechnology Crawler with a rifle. Strongly consider being Good Rigger Greg and look for ways to play up that aspect of your character. Shoot through that wall right there to geek a dude. You know where everyone is, including the enemy, and have already mapped the building using ultrasound enabled flyspies. You are the glimmer of hope when someone is alone and bleeding out. Instead, the strength of the rigger is that they are anywhere and everywhere, you never have to leave the rigger behind, because he always can take over the drone he set to follow and back you up. Even if you upgrade the armor on rotos (which you absolutely should do) they are still fragile compared to your team's samurai. A spy drone in the break room running silent is easy to spot and suspicious, but an RFID tagged candybar is totally normal.Īs a rigger your greatest strength is not an army of killer robots. Because you lack a sleaze rating your ability to run drones silently is pathetic, so you need to instead just wrap your drone so no one thinks they are out of place. Of course gunnery and pilot are critical too, but engineering is merely a nice skill to have, not a core one. A lot of people overfocus gunnery, piloting, and especially engineering skills, but if you want to be the man who seeds a place with spy drones, you need to have EWAR to operate the sensor arrays you put in your drones and to keep your signal strong, and stealth, which operates as. "Watch your back, shoot straight, conserve ammo, and never, ever, cut a deal with a dragon."
