Hi, I was going over the equipment cards, cool stuff, but I noticed quite some have requirements. I thought that most requirements would have a way of being addressed by specialty cards or other upgrades, but this doesn't seem to be the case. This impacts versatility in equipping the different characters, which I find a bit limiting. So just to make sure I didn't miss anything, are the following statements correct? -Only Qiang Gao can wear heavy armour -Only Qiang Gao can use heavy weapons -The only hacking device that can be used by anyone besides Jazz is the defensive hacking device Cheers, JAB
That’s all currently the case. Presumably the characters in the expansion will change those answers.
From what we know about the expansion characters from N4 we will get at least one additional Hacker, Valerya Gromoz and some may have access to heavy weapons, like John Hawkwood. But there is no dedicated HI character among them. Lei Gong has the most armor but he ist just a medium infantry in infinity. The lack of, in game terms spoken, tanks despite Qiang Gao wondered me since the completion of the character roster during the Kickstarter campaign.
Thanks for the replies! The heroes in the expansion will provide more choice of course, that will be cool. But for the original campaign, I think it would have been cool if for instance Trisha had a posthuman upgrade: 'Synthmuscle; you now meet the requirement for Heavy weapons' I guess I could houserule that if I really want. Besides that I'm very amped to get started with my friends as soon as we're allowed to have more people over again in the Netherlands. For now I'll just invite them one by one to help paint the mini's
