Rogue Archetype - Racket?

[razmeth]

I've been looking in to creating a Barbarian and the potential of using Titan Mauler, then mixing it with Rogue to get Gang Up seems interesting, but Gang Up requires a Racket. I don't see in the Rogue Archetype it called out that you pick a Racket, but for every other Archetype based on a class, they specifically call out picking a 'sub-class', even if you don't get any related abilities when initially created. Thoughts on if a Rogue Archetype would/should get a Racket, allowing for the skills which have a Racket prerequisite?

I think the rogue multiclass archetype is never going to grant access to a racket since we want to keep "dex-to-damage" the exclusive property of rogues.

They could use language like in the Barbarian dedication, which basically just unlocks things as if you had a particular instinct without providing its inherent benefits.

Bard example.

Druid example.

I think the issue with the rogue is that the rogue with a racket loses too much niche space if an X with rogue MC dedication can pick it up by default. The rogue MC already provides a lot of benefits with one of the easiest attribute requirements, so at the most, I think it would have to come at 4th level as a separate feat and not be added to the base dedication.

The ranger MC is in rougher shape as it basically is limited to being useful to characters that want to be archers,
