I was watching a scene from Johnny Mnemonic, and I noticed the LowTek guys using crossbows. They were probably doing that just to be extra punk and low-tech, but crossbows do lack telltales like muzzle flash and a cordite scent trail, so they might be useful as a one-off option to avoid a firefight early in a run.
So, the idea is that you put some kind of disposable crossbow frame over your usual smartgun. After you fire your armor-piercing neurotoxin crossbow bolt, you throw away the whole harness. It's good for quietly dropping a guard, silencing a patrol dog, or otherwise taking down an opponent without giving away your position. My other thought was an underbarrel taser. This is interesting if you restrict stick-n-shock ammo, which my game does. Thoughts? |
