Full Version: Ares Antioch-3: Mounts or No?
Dumpshock Forums > Discussion > Shadowrun

Recently, it's come up that a player wants to mount an underbarrel Antioch-3 GL on... an Antioch-3 GL.

The question is does it use the rules for heavy weapons(top-, barrel-, and under-barrel mounts) or missile/rocket launchers(no mounts)?

Ideas?

IIRC Antioch is man portable[1] so I'd use heavy weapons. Heavy weapons rules that is.

Regardless of what the rules say, you can't allow that. Because next thing you know, some troll will have a 12-pack Antioch combo, just because.

You can end up with a infinite pack Antioch combo... Start with 1, add another, add another under the second....

Only if you don't use the Canon Hauling The Load rules.

Ahhhh, but who said a PC was using it? It could even be vehicular...

Nah this was to be man portable and I had already told him, even if you do mount the double, you cannot put an underbarrel mount on the underbarrel mount.

so basically what i understand from you guys is, yes give it should be a heavy weapon, and thereby have mounts, but make sure it doesn't get too out of control. If that's wrong please let me know.
