Chemical weapons


General Discussion


It maybe just me, but i couldnt help but notice there wasn't any acid or poison weapons in the core rulebook, aside from the dart guns. I was hoping we could get guns that spray acid or shoot poison goops at foe, or some other chemical weapons like gas guns.

Anyone else think those would be cool? Also shields.


1 person marked this as a favorite.

Add reskinned Flame Pistols, Flame Rifles, Incindiary Grenades, and Flamethrowers that do Acid damage. Change the ammo from Petrol to Acid. That seems like it would work well enough. Still out of luck in organized play, but that's what playing (effectively) Core winds up being like.


As for poison, maybe you can add an inhaled poison to a smoke grenade for some extra cost?

Or maybe there's already an option for that.


Remember that inhaled poisons are going to be basically useless against armored foes. Armor has built-in environmental suits.


That's true, but there's also injury and contact poisons which can be applied via melee weapon or injection gun.

Gas not being used against armored opponents makes sense, since, with a gas, one can poison many at once, and it's cost doesn't seem to be adjusted for that.

We really need more poisons and ways to shut down environmental protection.
