For a starting character, what are the best choices for a drone killing weapon? Armor breaching for vehicles says if you dont do over the armor rating them the vehicle/drone is uninjured. This means -AP weapons and high DV weapons would be best, right?
I'm guessing a MA2100 would be a good one (-3AP, 7DV base) which could be silenced and could use EX Explosive ammo (making it -5AP, 9DV). Another choice is the Elephant Gun, but unlike the MA2100 I can't see how such a double-barrel weapon could be silenced and its slower ROF (SS, even if both barrels shot at once) means a dodgy victim has it that much easier. Grenade Launchers have SOME promise, I suppose, but the MA2100 seems to be the best starting can opener barring straight EW to crash the Pilot program or Spoof it into severing itself from its master's node by un-trusting the master's node and going into hidden mode. Anything I'm missing? |
