Repairing Damaged Gear and Items

Damaged gear (devices, weapons, armor, drones, vehicles, etc.) can be repaired by a qualified professional or the character themselves. The cost for a repair is generally either a percentage of the item’s base value (excluding modifications), or a flat fee, whichever is lower.

When repairing Physical damage to cyberware, costs are only incurred if performing the repairs in the middle of a run. Repairs made pre- or post-run are free.

If a character has the appropriate garage to house a vehicle attached to an active lifestyle, that vehicle is repaired instantly at no cost between runs. Drones are counted as vehicles for the purposes of receiving repairs from a Car Garage, and follow the same Body requirements. Additionally, any Vehicle or Drone with a Nanomaintenance System modification (of any rating) may be repaired instantly at no cost between runs.

Professional Repairs

Repairs performed by a professional are simple and quick in the sense that they only require payment of their fee in nuyen, and a bit of waiting. The professional does not need to make a test to perform the repair, and the repairs are completed in the calculated time – though GMs may adjust the length of time for a repair to be completed if it is performed during a run.

Professional repairs do not need to be performed by a contact.

Self-Repair

Player characters may also repair their own gear, if they have the appropriate technical skills and tools. This is cheaper, if not necessarily faster, than having a professional perform the repairs, so in all cases except Matrix damage the cost of the repairs is halved. Self-repairing Matrix damage costs no nuyen, merely time, and otherwise follows the rules on CRB228. The relevant portion is copied below:

Making repairs is an Extended Test of the relevant technical skill and the relevant attribute, which is generally Logic but can be changed at GM discretion to support “intuitive” repairs (AKA: jury-rigging). Characters may receive modifiers for this test, such as those from the Build/Repair table on CRB145, at GM discretion. If the character fails to repair all damage, they cannot attempt the test again. The character has simply reached the limits of their skill, and the remaining damage will have to be repaired by a professional.

Repair Thresholds, Costs, and Intervals Table

Bricked or Destroyed Drones

Drones that have been bricked or destroyed can be repaired for twice the normal repair rates: 8%/2k per box for professional repair of Physical damage, 4%/1k per box for professional repair of Matrix damage, 4%/1k per box if self-repairing Physical damage, and free if self-repairing matrix damage. Software present on the drone itself is lost. This is only possible if the drone itself can be recovered after being destroyed/bricked.

Weapons

Cyber-Implanted Melee Weapons

Cyber-Implanted Melee weapons increase Reach by +1 when used in pairs. This does not increase damage and both hands must be free (not holding anything).

Characters with Cyberimplant Melee Weapons may benefit from chemical seal if the seal is activated after any weapons are readied. The act of readying cyberimplant melee weapons breaks chemical seal. Cyberguns and Bioweapons cannot be used without breaking chemical seal.

One / Two Handed Weapons

Unless otherwise stated in the weapon description, all pistols (tasers, holdouts, heavy pistols, machine pistols) and SMGs are one handed weapons. Assault rifles, long arms and heavy weapons are two handed weapons. Using a two-handed weapon with one hand incurs a -2 penalty (-1 for trolls).

Signature Weapons

Despite the name, “Signature Weapons” (p.183, Hard Targets) are not enough to count as a Signature or Distinctive Style quality on their own.

Krime-brand Weapons

All weapons manufactured by Krime with a RAW restriction to orks and trolls may be wielded by any character, with a -2 penalty to all dicepools relevant to using the weapon when wielded by a non-trog.

• Listed Recoil Compensation values include bonuses from pre-installed mods and accessories.

• Targeting Accessories (Smartgun system, Laser Sight, Imaging Scope, Safe Target System, etc.)
• Stock Slot Modifications/Accessories
• Side Slot Modifications/Accessories (except for Additional Clip/Magazine)
• Underbarrel Modifications/Accessories (except for other Underbarrel Weapons)

Grenades do not halve the armor value of someone holding them if they are prematurely detonated, a vehicle they hit, etc. Grenades only use the Demolitions rules for Explosives (p. 436, CRB) if they are deliberately placed on a surface in order to increase their penetration by someone trained in Demolitions.

Cancellation of Service Grenades

As per their fluff text, these have a radius of 5 meters.

Douser Grenades

The effect listed from having a FW of 0 is unique to this grenade

Dumdum Grenades

This armor ('Street Lethal', p129-130) is not used on Runnerhub. This includes usage by PCs as well as NPCs. See: Banned Items

Ballistic Mask

May not be worn together with a helmet.

It can have a maximum capacity for armor modifications of 6. Each point of capacity costs 100¥ plus the cost of the modification itself.

Armor	Capacity	Availability	Cost
9	4	8	3,200 ¥

Urban Explorer Daedalus: Helmet
Armor	Capacity	Availability	Cost
+2	6	-	100 ¥

Armor Modifications

AR Fashion

The subscription services are tiered, that is, having the designer level service also includes clothes from the previous three levels.

For simplicity, the threshold to make a piece of AR clothing is based on the availability of the tier of clothes you want to make unless the GM rules otherwise.

Armor Add-ons

Legal for use on Runnerhub. Use common sense and don’t make RD, CCD, or a GM swat you for misusing them.

Chemical Seal

Chemical Seal is available on any body armor that has a matching, dedicated helmet. For armors other than Full Body Armor, only the Chemical Seal listed on CRB 438 that takes 6 capacity is available.

Distributed Deck

Characters do not need Electronic Part Packs to repair these devices when they take Physical damage. Instead, characters need ten percent of the original base cost of the deck per box of damage.

Gel Packs

This armor customization can only be added to full armor pieces (e.g. armored jacket, armor vest, Berwick suit, etc.) but not armor add-ons and accessories (e.g. helmets, masks, forearm guards, etc.).

Gel Packs count as an armor stack, and thus add to encumbrance.

Shock Frills

Shock Frills do 8S(e) damage when used as a weapon, but cannot damage an attacker who comes into contact with them like Shock Weave.

YNT Softweave

This armor customization can only be added to full armor pieces (e.g. armored jacket, armor vest, Berwick suit, etc.) but not armor add-ons and accessories (e.g. helmets, masks, forearm guards, etc.).

Upgrading Cyberdecks / RCCs / TacNets

It is possible to upgrade a cyberdeck, RCC, or TacNet to the equivalent of a better (more expensive) model. To do so, characters must succeed on a standard Availability roll for the device they are upgrading to, then pay the price difference between the new and old device. It’s also possible to downgrade a device, though characters who do so won’t get anything back and still need to succeed at a standard Availability roll for the new device.

Delivery times are the same as buying a brand-new version of the new device.

General Gear

Ares FlaShield

May be used as a weapon with the same stats as the Riot Shield, and requires the Shields exotic weapon specialization in the Clubs skill.

Altskin

When all six areas of the body (Face, Torso, and Limbs) have Altskin applied, the user is completely immune to contact vector toxins for the duration. Anything less than full coverage provides situational immunity or a dicepool bonus to resistance as per Chrome Flesh, page 152.

EVO/Yamatetsu Naval Technologies Rampart Portable Ballistic Emplacement

Hardened armor has been removed from this item, making it legal for use on Runnerhub.

Faceless

Generic Face versions of this item may function as basic Faceless, and Specific Face versions may function as a Generic Face or Basic Faceless. The Specific Face displayed may be changed with 10 minutes of work by anyone with ranks in Computer or Software.

As a simple reminder to GMs, feel free to only have narratively important devices roll against Faceless. This is not a rule, just a helpful reminder.

Genemarked Pheromones

These do not stack with Tailored Pheromones.

Lockpick Set

Lockpick Sets are required to use the Locksmithing skill to open locks, including maglocks. A Locksmithing Toolkit is not required to open maglocks.

Multiprogram Operating System (MOS)

This item does not stack with the Datajack Plus and is limited to running Common and Hacking Cyberprograms. This excludes agent programs from running on the device.

Nixdorf Sekretar

The agent that comes preloaded on Nixdorf Sekretars can only access the Computer skill.

Portable Chemical Injectors

Use the following stats for the portable chemical injectors (p.176, Chrome Flesh):

Type	Capacity	Availability	Cost
Wrist	3 doses	4	500￥
Thigh	5 doses	6	750￥
Harness	10 doses	10R	2500￥

Press Pass

These are tied to a SIN. How far they will get a character and how closely that character will be watched is entirely up to GM fiat.

Spirit Tuxedo

The conjurer receives one service upon a successful summoning, and the conjurer must continue wearing the outfit in order to command the spirit and to benefit from its services. If the conjurer removes the outfit, the spirit gets upset and will not perform any further services until the conjurer puts the outfit back on and issues a new command.

Self-Destruct Odd Mod

A self-destruct module may be installed in any item with a Device Rating, or enough electronics that it can be assumed to have one, so long as the item is larger than a minigrenade. The module must be integrated into the device it is installed in, and thus under the control of the device's owner.

Any device that could reasonably survive the detonation of a fragmentation grenade, such as a vehicle, soaks the damage instead of simply vanishing. Devices that physically survive the detonation are still rendered inoperable until repaired, regardless of the amount of damage soaked.

Tailored Perfume/Cologne

Tailored Perfumes and Colognes stack with either Tailored Pheromones or Genemarked Pheromones, whichever is applicable.

Yerz Kit

It's a toolkit for self-installing the Yerzed Out mod from Rigger 5. Characters still pay the full price of the modification.

PI-TACs

Mercury Alpha Signal Booster

As a clarification, the passive mode provides 4 noise reduction.

PI-TAC Accessories

The Hardcase and Signal Booster accessories, as well as their variants, may be used without a PI-TAC.

Surplus PI-TACs

The maximum discount allowed on the hub is 50%, and replacement parts cost 5% of the normal price per part.

Disguising Gear

Gear can be disguised as something similar for 25% of the base cost. This incurs a -2 penalty against tests to see through the disguise and identify the actual item. If the item is examined for an extended amount of time (more than 10 seconds), this advantage is lost.

Alchemical and Magic Items

Alchemical Tools

Atomizer

This tool requires the Spray Guns skill to be used offensively.

Vault of Ages

This tool can be filled in downtime but cannot use Edge on downtime rolls. The reference to “Magic of Creator” is to be interpreted as “Rating of the Vault”.

Vault of Ages are the same size as a medkit of the same rating and can be transported as such.

Compounds

Astral Bond

Unavailable, also irrelevant due to Core rules.

Baobhan’s Tears

Unavailable.

Drain Away

Drain Away is banned from use on Runnerhub.

HMHVV II Inhibitor

Unavailable to players under normal circumstances.

Alchemical Preparations

Lightning Blade

Please note that very few modern armors are metal; chainmail and mil-spec are the entirety of the list.

Reagents

Unless gathered or created by the character using them, all Refined and Radical Reagents will be of the Baseline Quality. GM fiat for quality and tapping out. Remember that anything in the Seattle metroplex will be high competition territory.
