Mostly trying to come up with good situations for a winch. I'm thinking of adding it to my toyota gopher.

I made a char recently who has an enhanced winch attached to an Fed-Boeing Kull, it's meant to be used to lower the Kull's cargo (boom-boom (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ) but I don't see a reason it couldn't be used to lift something else up....

Well... first things first... you have to find a decent truck to put it on (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) sorry, bad joke about a different post topic...
Then you watch the trailer to Fast Five (the next fast and the furious movie) where they are towing the vault down the road via winch. Lots of ideas come to mind after that... the least of which being a very sexy pink mohawk way of creating an entrance or exit to a secure facility. Could also sneak up and attach it to a boss's car of some sort and drag it off... then he sends his security goons to chase you down, meanwhile, he... and his stuff... are much less protected for the job that the rest of the team has to do. |

Heard once at the end of a gaming session : "Ok guys, we got a prisoner, a tow truck with a winch and a toolbox, and one week to think about it."

The hardest part about using a wench properly is getting through the corset. Oh wait, wrong kind...

You could… um… pull stuff in stationary situations?

There's always the classic Anti-Gogogogang technique. Truck in one alleyway, hook/gecko-tip on a light post. 'Runner pisses off the Go-Gang, the give chase, he drives over the winch cable, which goes taunt...
Oh, look, it's at head level for everyone except for Dwarves and Trolls. (Adjust height if dealing with a Dwarf or Troll gang.). |

It's also fun to replace the cable with monowire. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Use the winch cable to rappel down the side of a parkade after setting the "Cleaner Charge" to go off on the vehicle.

in addition to gecko tips, use it for more safety when driving up walls.
aim to the side to go around corners at full speed by attaching the cable to a lamp post or something. |

Surprised I haven't thought of this before: Use it to drag the son of a slitch that you really, really hate through the worst parts of the Barrens behind your car.
Let everyone know what happens when they slot with you. |

The winch is probably in the front, but sure. You can do that with any old rope, though. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Heck, you can do that with a sufficiently strong metahuman with long enough arms . .

i have done this to the teams awakened slut/whore(don't ask) once when she fragged up another run . .
basically held her upside down on her ankles with her head 10 cm above the blood stained floor the van we were escaping in was driving on. her hair got VERY messy and had to be cut down to about one hands width to salvage anything. basically, like dipping a dogs nose into it's own mess. |

You can always use it for some "frontier justice".

Maybe, although being on the business end of that baby is a real drag. Maybe have a gaggle of humanis goons strung up on the end and dragged, slowly, through meta neighborhoods.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif) Actually, toss one end over a lamp post, Gecko Tip a noose to the end, and you don't even need a horse or tree to get the job done. |
