I've look everywhere, but I cannot find anything. My request is simple: I'd like to replicate an arm cannon, whether be fixed (like Samus Aran's) or morphable (like Mega Man's).
I can't seem to find anything that resemble a prosthetic limb that can either transform into a ranged weapon or have its hand replaced by a ranged weapon.
The weaponized prosthesis cybernetic augmentation in the armoury book does exactly this (page 89)
It functions as a prosthetic arm that can accommodate (depending on which level of weaponized prosthesis you buy) a weapon with the integrated quality that would take up 1 or 2 armour upgrade slots.

Thanks for the info :)
The weaponized prosthetic does leave your hand free to hold other equipment or weapons, think of it as extending from your wrist. The downside is that the integrated weapons are weak compared to hand held ones.

Yeah... kinda wish that the Core Rulebook gets updated with some of the new weapon qualities that the Armory introduced ^^;
Still, the Charge Emitter and the Frost Projector aren't bad ;)
What about using a maze core? It could transform a cybernetic arm into a powered weapon, at the cost of 1 extra bulk.
Without house rules to the contrary, you can't maze core cybernetics with anything.

Yep, sounds like it...
I feel like the best way to optimize the weaponized prosthesis would be to have the ability to add weapon properties to other weapons. For instance, if you take the weapons from the Core Rulebook, I'm pretty sure that a few of them would get the integrated property.

Funny you should mention that because if you Maze-core a gun with an engineering toolkit then have your friend implant it into your arm as a custom rig, you kind of can have a maze-cored cybernetic in a roundabout fashion.

I would absolutely not assume that the nonsense Harold is talking about works without clearing it with your GM. It relies on a rules reading that many, and I would probably even go so far as to say most, GMs would not allow.
Specifically, it relies on both the assumption that the sentence stating that you can implant your custom rig in your brain or an arm means that you can put it in anyone's arm. Then it relies on the assumption that turning the engineering kit into a custom rig won't interfere with the mazecore. Then it relies on your GM allowing the mechanic you did this to then turn something else into their new custom rig, which they can, and still let the engineering kit in your arm remain an augment.
Absolutely do not try that without talking to the GM first.
Well obviously any method of doing it is gonna require you to talk to the GM first. The one i outlined is merely one that works without any additional work on the GM's part (I know several who are fine with doing weird and fun things so long as it doesn't take them more work to do).
Edit: Harold. lol. That's definitely a new mispelling of my name.

A side effect of typing on a phone, and not looking back for autocorrections, I think.
My own ruling would be, no, you absolutely cannot do any of the above, because once you've used up that engineering kit to make a Custom Rig, its not an engineering kit anymore.
You could rule this as a GM, but it would be a houserule given that it reverts to being the kit it was before, only now it is installed into an augment slot.
If you create a new custom rig, your old one functions as a normal toolkit of whatever type you made it from and can no longer be used with your mechanic tricks.
(the type being "Mazecore'd Engineering Kit + Gun hybrid")
Now, you can make an argument that by reverting to it's prior state it would have to be removed as an augment, but currently that is a grey area so it could really go in any direction.

Go to easy access kit.

Doesn't work with weapons, only technological items, which are typically utility-based tools.
just ask your GM if you can use the prosthetic but give up the hand for a bigger weapon. Seems a fair trade.
What about the quickdraw hideaway arm installed in a prosthesis? Would that not work?

Close, but technically that's just a gun that pops out of your arm, not an arm that is also a gun (which is the weaponized prosthesis).
