Aberrant 2.0 Trinity Weapons

Melee

Biotech melee weapons used by a formatted Psion gain +1 accuracy to all attacks.

Standard

• Spider Harness: Damage 8L, Accuracy (Wits + Psi), Mass 5

A Spider Harness when Formatted is semi-autonomous and attacks independently of the user, making up to (Wits/2, round up) attacks with its eight articulated "legs". A Spider may never make more than 3 attacks in one combat round.

• Sonic Knife: Damage 1-10 (Bashing/Lethal as desired)

Sonic Knives cannot damage hard objects such as metal, industrial plastic, some types of body armor, and some particularly hardy Novas.

• Vibroknife: Damage Str + 3L, AP(4)

Vibroknives do slightly more damage than low-tech knives but their primary advantage is the ease at which they slice through hardened materials, such as personal armor. On the other hand... don't botch.

• Vibrosword: Damage Str + 6L, AP(2)

Due to limitations on vibration hardening, vibroswords have lower vibrational frequencies and reduced armor piercing effectiveness, relative to vibroknives.

Assassination Weapons

• Poison Glove (Alchemy Recluse): Damage (as Unarmed) + Poison, Mass 0.5, Biotech (Tolerance 1).

A poison glove can be used formatted or unformatted-however, an unformatted user may poison himself (while a formatted user is immune to the glove's toxins). Poison gloves can dispense either lethal or nonlethal poison. Lethal poison deals (15 - [Stamina + Resistance]) dice of lethal damage, at a rate of 1/turn, while nonlethal poison deals the same amount of dice in bashing damage at a rate of 1/turn.

• Poison Knife (Orgotek Wasp): Damage (Str + 2L) + Poison, AP(1), Mass 0.5, Biotech (Tolerance 1)

The poison knife is a variant on the poison glove with identical rules for its toxin and the user's immunity or lack thereof. However, while the poison glove can poison someone with a touch (and is thus more covert), the poison knife requires the blade to be sunk into flesh to have the same effect.

Variants

• Olaminium Edge: Some hardtech melee weapons have been forged (at exorbitant cost) with olaminium edges, allowing them to maintain fantastically sharp edges. These weapons deal +1 damage and have +1 AP, but cost 2 resource dots more and mass 50% more than equivalent weapons.

• Non-Metallic: Non-metallic weapons cost 1 more than their equivalent metallic weapons and cannot be detected by metal scanners.

Ranged

Note that by default, attuning to a biotech weapon increases its accuracy dice pool by +1.

Trinity-era weapons are more advanced (and not just cosmetically) than Aberrant-era ones, often making use of electromagnetic acceleration, electrothermal propulsion, binary propellants, high-sectional-density flechettes, and other exotic techniques to improve their firepower and deadliness overall.

Pistols

Pistols in Trinity are somewhat more advanced and have superior recoil characteristics due to better propellants, improved engineering for recoil/etc, and are all considered select-fire weapons.

• Revolver (Stavros Cowboy): Acc +0, Dmg 6L, Range 50, RoF (Dexterity), Magazine 8, Conceal P, Mass 1, Min Str. 1
• Revolver (Banji Annabelle): Acc +2, Dmg 7L, Range 50, RoF (Dexterity), Magazine 6, Conceal J, Mass 1.5, Min Str. 2

• Plasma Pistol (Voss 22P): Acc +1, Dmg 10L [5], Range 10, RoF 1/2, Magazine 5, Conceal O, Mass 2.5, Min Str. 6 (5 with stock)

Psi-Amps

Psi-Amps must be formatted to the user to work.

• EK Gauntlet (Orgotek Iris-L): +2 accuracy and +2d to all Psi rolls to use Electrokinesis and Psychokinesis effects for offense, Conceal O, Mass 2, Min Str. 1
• Electrolaser Gauntlet (Orgotek EL-12): Acc + 1, Dmg 12d EMP (12B against living targets), Range 100, RoF 2, Magazine 30, Tolerance 3, Conceal O, Mass 2, Min Str. 1

• Sureshot Gauntlet (Orgotek SL-3): Acc + 4, Dmg 10L, Range 100, RoF 2, Magazine 30, Tolerance 3, Conceal O, Mass 2, Min Str. 1

Stun Weapons

Stun weapons, such as Tasers and Screamers, are generally much less restricted due to lower lethality than comparable lethal weapons. Screamers, due to their methodology, ignore all non-Stamina soak, while Tasers, if they successfully deal damage, add +2 difficulty to all opponent actions, which lasts 1 round for every level of bashing damage dealt. Designed with complex safety features, screamers and tasers are designed to minimize loss of life and deal only bashing damage, which does not spill over into lethal damage without intentional misapplication that cannot occur in the heat of combat. Black market screamers and tasers (also known as "Decapped" versions or "Frazzlers") have removed these safety limits and may spill damage over to lethal.

• Screamer Pistol (Ares Whistler): Acc + 0, Dmg 6B, Range 15, RoF 1, Magazine 20, Conceal J, Mass 1.5
• Screamer Carbine (Ares Supersonic): Acc + 1, Dmg 10B, Range 20, RoF 5, Magazine 30, Conceal O, Mass 3
• Taser Baton (Banji Lightning): Acc + 1, Dmg 10B, Range 10, RoF 1, Magazine 20, Conceal J, Mass 1.5
• Taser Pistol (Orgotek Electric Eel): Acc + 2, Dmg 10B, Range 20, RoF 1, Magazine 20, Conceal J, Mass 2, Bio (Tolerance 1)

Vertigo Weapons are experimental, and deal no damage (ignoring all soak). Instead, a successful attack with these weapons adds +2 to the difficulty of any actions, an effect which lasts one turn for each "damage" success. These weapons are still experimental and use a combination of sound waves and lights intended to cause seizures to create their effect. A Nova may resist with Sensory Shield, each dot of that power "soaking" 2 dice of vertigo "damage".

• Vertigo Pistol (Orgotek VP-2): Acc + 0, Damage 4 (Vertigo), Range 15, RoF 1, Magazine 10, Conceal J, Mass 1.5
• Vertigo Carbine (Orgotek VC-4): Acc + 1, Damage 6 (Vergito), Range 25, RoF 1, Magazine 20, Conceal O, Mass 2.5

Webguns

Webguns fire entangling nets at targets, restricting movement.

• Biotech Webcaster (Alchemy Webgun): Acc +2, Dmg 0, Range 20, RoF 1, Magazine 5, Conceal N, Mass 5, Bio (Tolerance 2)

The Alchemy Webgun uses high-tensile-strength spidersilk webs, which require a cumulative 20 successes (on a difficulty +2 Strength + Might roll) to break out of.

• Net Launcher (L-K Netgun): Acc +3, Dmg 0, Range 25, RoF 1, Magazine 8, Conceal N, Mass 8.5

The L-K Netgun may fire CNT-reinforced smartwebs (a cumulative 25 net successes on a difficulty +3 Str + Might roll required), electrified shock webs (15 net successes on a difficulty +2 Str + Might roll needed) that deal damage equal to a taser baton each round until the victim is unconscious, or monofilament shredders which deal 10L initial damage and an additional 5L damage for each turn the target struggles. Freeing oneself from a monofilament web also deals 1 automatic, unsoakable lethal damage level above.

Accessories

Trinity-era weapons have some extremely powerful attachments. Technology marches onward.

Attachments

• ECS

An Electronic Combat Sight system is an adaptive sighting, ranging, and condition compensation system, which adds +3 accuracy to any weapon, adds +1 to accuracy bonus from the first turn of aiming (increasing the bonus to +3) and doubles the per-turn bonus for aiming (from +1 to +2). An ECS can be fitted on any SMG or rifle-sized weapon. The ECS also adds an additional +3 to awareness rolls when used to scan an area.

• Aberscope

An Aberscope integrated into a weapon provides the same bonuses as an implanted LANSA system, except external in nature. Note that a Nova with a non-Permanent Quantum power active is automatically detected on LANSA/Aberscopes, allowing a soldier with an Aberscope or implanted LANSA to effectively combat even invisible Aberrants (even if the imprecision of LANSA detection does not provide a solid lock).

• Gyrostabilizer

A gyrostabilized weapon is designed to stabilize its targeting and tracking, allowing it to more accurately track fast-moving targets. When fired in bursts, gyrostabilized weapons ignore the first enemy dodge success due to superior targeting.

• Underbarrel Screamer: Acc + 0, Dmg 10B, Range 20, RoF 1, Magazine 20,
• Underbarrel Grenade Launcher: Accuracy 0, Dmg 8L [5] or as grenade, Range 75, Rate 1, Magazine 1, Exp(1)
• Underbarrel Shotgun: Accuracy 0, Dmg 8L, Rng 20, Rate 2, Magazine 6

Secondary weaponry has advanced with the development of synchronized aiming systems that adjust for the offset barrel. Recent technology has also introduced non-lethal screamer weaponry in an underbarrel mount, which has become popular with SWAT teams and other units needing to capture rather than kill.

Ammunition Types

• Olaminium: +3 damage, AP (+3)

Olaminium ammunition is exceedingly rare and used only in the most high-threat of situations, like against Aberrants. Due to the fact that olaminium is a completely artificial element, it is virtually unheard of to find these rounds in use outside of elite military forces. Olaminium projectiles use extremely high-pressure propellants (or extremely high-power electromagnets) to get their incredible stopping power and armor penetration, and as such require specially modified weapons (cost increases to 3 if less than 3, +1 cost otherwise). The strength requirement of such weapons also increases by +2.

• Explosive: +2 damage, AP (+1)

The Geneva Convention doesn't apply to "The One Race". Reactive ammunition such as this is also used by special investigators, black ops agents, and certain criminals. Armor-piercing explosive rounds are the successors to ammunition designs such as the "Raufoss" round, combining hardened penetrators with explosive cores.

• Gel: Bashing Damage, double armor/power soak, toxin payload (may be absorbed via skin)

Gel rounds have soft gel heads and low velocities, and are commonly used with soporifics for riot control. Occasionally, gel rounds are paired with chemical agents such as Eclipsidol or Moxoquintaine to neutralize Aberrants with relatively quiet ammunition.

Aberrant-Era Ammunition

All ammunition from the Aberrant era exists (save Hypercore), and are listed below.

• Armor Piercing Ammo: AP(+3), Dmg(-1L)
• Beanbag/Rubber Bullet: Doubles armor/power-granted lethal soak, deals bashing damage past 5 meters.
• Buckshot/Multiplex: Accuracy +3, loses -2L damage per range increment
• Flamethrower: Shotgun only, no range increments, successful attack deals no damage but sets target on fire (4L/turn until put out, unsealed armor does not protect)
• Frag: Shotgun only, Dmg 10L, Area(0.5)
• +P: Dmg(+1L), Weapon breaks if more 1s are rolled than successes.
• Match: Accuracy +1, Rng +25% if aiming.
• JHP/JSP: Dmg(+3L), double armor/power-granted lethal soak
• Subsonic: Dmg(-1L) or (-2L) if damage is greater than 8L, reduces weapon report (with suppressor), insufficient power to cycle weapon (RoF is reduced to 2 if normally higher than 2).
