Howdy!
So Wraith Stings, the Injection sniper rifle! has the Subtlequality. But, it does - damage, meaning I'm pretty certain you don't even add Specialization to it. It also has 1 ammo, and 1 shot. meaning it has to be reloaded every single shot.
So for most characters? This isn't very useful, at all. But for Biohackers it has some interesting connections there!
In particular I realized that your Minor Inhibitor is freely applied to all shots-including this one. That then combos with Hampering INhibitor Theorom- which applies to any successful biohack inihibitor you use (such as minor inhib) which cuts the enemies speed by 50% to a min of 5 (all movement speeds). Wouldnt' come up that much. But it would be pretty neat to have if you were trying to help folks escape and providing covering fire. Ala waiting near the ship and folks are running towards it being chased by xenomorphs.. On hit applies -1 to hit and 50% speed is a fun debuff.
Painful INjection theorom MAY also actually apply to cause damage. If you hit an enemy with a injection weapon you can cause the ammo to lodge painful. "The target takes an additional amount of damage equal to half your key ability modifier" Depending on if "an additional" means it has to have an amount, or if 0 damage can be added to. I read it as it would add to the - damage it does.
Far Injection stacks with the Sniper effect (and scopes). So you do get riddiculus distance as well.
Medicinal Mastery theorm of course works too-but would not combo with Hampering because you cant use those free mediicnals with biohacks.
So its not exactly super useful. But. it could have some interesting interactions in some cases.
Does anyone else know of some neat combos for Wraith Strike? Plenty of stuff I haven't read through yet, like archetypes, and the myriad of items. Poisons work of course, as does non-theorom medicinals (which would work with inhibitors).
I'm mainly thinkin in terms of biohackers. But in general ideas are welcome as well.

That would be completely hilarious. Although they would feel the drug effect immediately even if they didn't feel the needle dart.
The biggest thing I"m still wondering is if you can ADD to "-" if thats "null damage" or "0" damage...
Since Deadly Aim and stuff like Painful Injection state Add. and you can add to 0 but not if it nulls damage... Not exactly a lot of damage but honestly would be hilarious
Just sit a mile away bug bitting the main enemy with light damage and onset poisons.
EDIT: Also realize I've asked this in a different way before. Whups haha.
still love cool ideas.
