Monofilament Whip

5(7) 2 12P -8 12R 10,000¥ Core
Skill
Exotic Melee Weapon (Monofilament Whip)
Glitch
You catch the weighted tip on something nearby and need to disentangle it before you make another proper attack with it.
Critical Glitch
You hit yourself with the whip and take its base damage (resisted normally)
Wireless
The whip can be readied with a Free Action, rather than a Simple Action.
The whip's built-in safety system retracts automatically instead of getting you entangled on a glitch.
Accuracy increased by 2.

Iconic. Terrifying. Deadly. Few weapons on the street are more feared. This monofilament line can cut through bone and armor like hot butter. The line extends out to two meters, and retracts into the weapon's handle when not in use. The whip action, the weighted tip, and the deadly thread of monofilament line itself make this weapon a potential danger to it's wielder.

This can be as simple as a string attached to a pair of pencils but is usually a far more professional tool. The garrote is a handheld weapon designed to quietly kill via strangulation. The weapon consists of a central string, usually semiflexible wire of some sort, attached to a pair of handles used to pull the weapon tight once it is wrapped around a targets neck. Death is slow and unpleasant as the target usually struggles intensely, so a strong stomach and skill are both required.

Ares "Queen of Hearts" Monofilament Garrote

Leave it to Ares to make something deadly even deadlier. The Queen of Hearts is the nickname for Ares’ monofilament garrote that will often take a head right off well before the target suffocates, though I’m certain that was part of the intended design. Other megacorps have copied the design, but Ares is by far the biggest name out there.

  • Beware mistakes. A misplaced pinky can be the difference between a clean kill and a place on the dishonored yakuza list. The Queen of Hearts and her sister models are unforgiving on untrained fools.

Whether it’s redirecting bulls, snagging wrists, or lashing infidels, the whip has seen an interesting history as a tool, a showpiece, a torture device, and a weapon.This versatility is both its greatest asset and its biggest detriment. The training that is needed to use this weapon is very specific, but a truly skilled individual can perform feats with this item unmatched by any other weapon.

Ash Arms Combat Chainsaw

SR5 Weapon Ash Arms Combat Chainsaw.png
Acc Reach DV AP Avail Cost Source
5 1 8P -4 6R 2,000¥ SR5:R&G

  • This model is decent with its special features that remove some of the safety features located on most chainsaws, but cheap street rats will still try and use their local hardware store model in a fight. Most learn about their mistake the hard way.

Ash Arms Monofilament Chainsaw

Blank.png
Acc Reach DV AP Avail Cost Source
5 1 12P -8 8R 7,500¥ SR5:R&G

Monofilament makes everything better or so Ash Arms would like us to believe. While the civilian model is actually used for cutting things like concrete and sculpting stone, that is just never enough. Ash has retooled the monofilament cousin of the standard chainsaw as well and made it into a unique weapon that has probably cut off more limbs from brain-dead wielders than their intended victims. But boy is a successful hit awesome.

  • Same problems occur here when people try and use the tools as the weapons. Darwin would be proud.

Ares S-III Super Squirt

Blank.png
Acc DV AP Mode RC Ammo Avail Cost Source
3 Chemical SA 20(c) 7R 950¥ Core

This popular non-lethal weapon fires DMSO gel packs. The dimethyl sulfoxide forces the skin to absorb the chemicals the operator wishes to deliver. The attack itself causes no damage, but when the target is hit successfully, the DMSO delivers the substance directly into the target’s bloodstream as a Contact vector toxin (Toxins, Drugs, and BTLs, p. 408). The Super Squirt uses Light Pistol ranges and can accept top- and underbarrel-mounted accessories

Ares Screech Sonic Rifle

Blank.png
Acc DV AP Mode RC Ammo Avail Cost Source
6 7S * SS 10(c) 16R 8,000¥ SR5:R&G
Sonic Rifle
The sonic rifle can fire with variable beam settings. It uses the same rules as shotguns (p. 180, SR5) for determining the number of targets affected and the DV modifier, as well as ranges. The Exotic Ranged Weapon (Sonic Rifle) skill is used to fire this weapon.
Damage Resistance
The Damage Resistance Test uses Willpower instead of Body and ignores all standard armor. Damper earware (p. 454, SR5) provides +2 bonus dice to the resistance test. A Hush or Silence spell reduces the DV by –1 per hit on the Spellcasting Test.
Conditions
Targets hit by a beam suffer the effects of disorientation and nausea (see p. 409, SR5). The rifle uses peak discharge battery packs, with each shot consuming 1 power unit.

This is a nasty little oddball of a weapon. Though it’s called the Screech and its classified as a sonic rifle, anyone with this thing pointed at them will rarely hear a thing other then their own retching as they puke up their latest meal. This devious invention uses focused sound waves to disorient the target while not causing any real damage. Perfect for crowd control as long as the users are prepped with gas masks, since the reek of soybase vomit will fill the air this sucker is fired.

  • Don’t try and use this against spirits. Their lack of a standard biology makes them immune to the effect. Works great on most other things though. Usually seems to depend on whether they have ears that affect their balance and equilibrium.

Blowgun

Blank.png
Acc DV AP Mode RC Ammo Avail Cost Source
8 1P SS 1(ml) 4 15¥ SR5:R&G
Blowgun
Blowguns are fired with the Exotic Ranged Weapon (Blowgun) skill. To deliver a toxin with a blowgun needle, use the Called Shot Location rules to target an area not protected by armor. If the attack succeeds, the poison is delivered.
Glitches
Note that when using a blowgun, a character may inhale his own dart on a critical glitch; some modern blowguns have a safeguard in form of a small cross-like section in the mouthpiece.

Nope, not kidding. The blowgun has been silently neutralizing targets for hundreds of years. Especially popular with stealthy forces that like to poison their targets and then recover their goodies or finish them off once they are no longer able to fight off a flea. They take a lot of skill to use and almost always include a drug or toxin on their needles. Otherwise it would just be ranged acupuncture.


Bola

Blank.png
Acc Reach DV AP Avail Cost Source
Physical (STR+3)S +4 6 75¥ SR5:R&G
Bola
Bolas can do one of two types of damage based on their use. When thrown to hit a target, make an Exotic Ranged Weapon (Bolas) Attack Test (use the DV and AP stats on the left side of the slash for monofilament bolas).
Called Shots
When thrown with the intent of wrapping around a specific location on an opponent use the appropriate Called Shot Location modifier to determine success. A standard bola requires the target to make an immediate Agility + Gymnastics [Physical] Test with a threshold of the attacker’s net hits; if they fail, they fall prone.
Remove Bolas
Removing wrapped bolas requires an Agility + Escape Artist [Physical](6, 1 Action Phase) Extended Test or a sharp knife (taking a Complex Action to cut it off).
Range
Bolas use shuriken ranges.
Boom-bolas
One or two grenades of any fashion bound together. They suffer a –2 Accuracy, and misses are determined much like scatter, except that it is always the maximum distance in the 7 direction. A successful bola attack means the grenades are at 0 distance to the target when they explode, and Multiple Simultaneous Blast rules (p. 183, SR5) apply.

Take a pair of rocks, tie them together with a rope. Now you have basic bolas. Take that and throw it at some thing, letting the extra centrifugal force give it some added punch. Now get fancy and try and wrap it around your target. It’s not easy, but if you hit just right it’s both a takedown and a load of pain all in one. Modern bolas aren’t rocks tied with strings; instead, they’re usually solid steel connected with wire, often with three balls instead of two. They’re a favorite weapon of hunters that prefer to take their prey alive, especially bounty hunters.

  • Sociopathic runners are often at the forefront of interesting derivations and innovations in the arms race. Boombolas are an example of that. A pair of wireless-enabled grenades, or one grenade and a counterweight, are used to snare the target with a healthy reminder of how bad not surrendering can be. There are also those who simply use the bola design to put the grenades right on top of a target. No longer chunky salsa, more of a fine purée.

Monofilament Bola

Blank.png
Acc Reach DV AP Avail Cost Source
Physical (STR+3)S/12P +4/-8 18F 4,000¥ SR5:R&G
Damage
A monofilament bola requires the target to make an immediate Damage Resistance Test using the stats on the right side of the slash along with the Agility + Gymnastics Test. Once wrapped up with a monofilament bola, any character trying to get themselves loose with the above Escape Artist Test or move must make a Damage Resistance Test for each attempt.

If getting tangled up by a pair of metal balls on a metal wire wasn’t bad enough, imagine if that wire was a monofilament line. There’s very little intention to capture and much more to harm, though the company tag line is suppression through intimidation, claiming they wrap and prevent escape by the threat of increased risk of harm.


Fichetti Pain Inducer

Blank.png
Acc DV AP Mode RC Ammo Avail Cost Source
3 Special SS Special 11R 5,000¥ Core
Wireless
The Pain Inducer recharges by induction at a rate of 1 charge per hour.

For a non-lethal weapon, the Fichetti Pain Inducer is not very humane. It makes someone feel like they are in a microwave, roasting from the inside out. Treat this as a toxin attack with a Power of 8 and a speed of Immediate. The target resists with Body + Willpower. If the modified Power exceeds the target’s Mental limit, the target must spend his next Action Phase doing whatever it takes to run away from the pain. The attacker can continue to hold her beam on a target with a Complex Action unless the game-master deems the target has dodged away or found cover. If the target cannot get out of the beam, he is incapacitated with pain, suffering a dice pool modifier equal to the modified Power on all tests for as long as the beam is trained on him.

The Pain Inducer uses SMG ranges and can take top and underbarrel accessories. It has ten charges; when attached to a power point, it reloads one charge every ten seconds. Wireless: The Pain Inducer recharges by induction at a rate of 1 charge per hour.


FN-AAL Gyroject Pistol

Blank.png
Acc DV AP Mode RC Ammo Avail Cost Source
5 10P -2 SA 10(c) 12F 2,000¥ SR5:R&G
Accessories
The FN-AAL Gyrojet pistol can mount the same accessories as a heavy pistol and uses the same ranges.
Aquatic Use
When it is used underwater, increase the standard munitions DV ratings by +2 in addition to any other modifiers.

Once advertised as a favorite of the British Special Boat Squadron, FN has increased their market audience to most of the marine-based special operations forces around the world. The gun fires miniature 6mm rockets that explode on impact—an effect that, underwater, is even worse than in the air.

  • FN makes a full array of alternate munitions that match up well with their standard counterparts. Jelly rockets are awesome.

Gun Cane, Trafalgar

x200px
Acc DV AP Mode RC Ammo Avail Cost Source
6 7P SS 1(b) 9R 750¥ SR5:R&G
Gun Cane
The gun cane uses taser ranges, can only use caseless ammo, and cannot mount any accessories. It is fired with the Exotic Ranged Weapons (Gun Cane) skill.
Concealment
Its Concealment modifiers are +0 for the whole cane and –6 to detect its true nature (see p. 419, SR5).

Where fashion meets defense, this single-shot weapon is a fashion accessory with both form and function. Designed to look just like Mortimer’s regular line of dress canes, the Trafalger tag goes on any of the gun canes no matter what they look like.

The dart reports whether or not it has struck home and successfully injected. It may also report any gross physical anomalies in the target’s tissue, although its medical sensors are not very sophisticated (Device Rating of 1 for the dart).

The industry standard dart pistol, this fires injection dar ts (p. 434) with narcoject or another payload. The Parashield dar t pistol uses Heavy Pistol ranges and can take top-mounted accessories.

FLAMETHROWERS

Flamethrowers are fired with the Exotic Ranged Weapons: Flamethrowers skill. They require a Complex Action to be made ready to fire. They can be used for Suppressive Fire (p. 179, SR5). They also can be used to attack multiple targets; using a Complex Action means the shooter can attack with a fanning motion, striking up to three targets (as long as they are all within the weapon’s range and each target is within four meters of the others). This uses two units of the flamethrower’s ammo capacity.

Flamethrowers deal Fire damage. Their range is listed with each individual flamethrower.

A recent release from Shiawase, the Incinerator is the first personal incendiary device to utilize advanced polymers in nearly every aspect of its construction. The advanced materials limited the thermal stress placed on the ignition chamber as well as ensuring the operator suffers limited discomfort from the intense heat. The recommended fuel mixture ensures complete combustion; field-expedience mixtures are still possible, but less efficient.

  • I saw a few burn teams with these outside of Bogotá. They weren’t having much of a permanent effect against the trees.
