Special Weapon Proficiency

[Allen Antoine]

One of my players recently wanted to purchase some shuriken. This made me realize that nowhere in the Core Rulebook is it explicity stated who is and who is not proficient with special weapons like shuriken, nyfiber nets, etc. There's no feat to grant proficieny with these weapons, so I can only assume that everyone is proficient with them since they don't belong to a category like small arms, basic melee, etc.

Can anyone verify that this is the case--that everyone is proficient with special weapons?

No class is proficient with special weapons by default. There is a feat for that.

In the case of shuriken, there is also an operative exploit that grants proficiency, among other effects, and biohackers are proficiency with the Grooved Shuriken, because they are proficient with everything that has the injection property.
