Rules / Vehicles
VehiclesVehicle CrashesThe target, or whatever the vehicle crashes into, must resist damage equal to The vehicle and any passengers must resist damage equal to Vehicles soak normally, with Vehicle ModificationsIf a modification does not alter the Speed, Handling, Acceleration, Pilot, Sensor, Body, or Armor rating of a vehicle, and the modification exists at multiple ratings, the rating of the modification may be upgraded for the difference in price between the new and old rating. Basic and Advanced ModificationsPlayers may make modifications according to the modification rules introduced in Rigger 5.0 (p151), but doing so is not required. Player who do not own Rigger 5, and do not use any modifications from that book, use the basic modification rules from the CRB instead. However, using any modifications from R5 on a vehicle mean that all modifications on that vehicle must conform to the modification rules in R5. Previous versions of the same modification, such as the smuggling compartments or spoof chips from Stolen Souls and the weapon mounts listed in CRB, are superseded by their R5 counterparts. When adjusting from CRB to R5 modification rules, the cost of any superseded modifications is fully refunded before the new modification from R5 is purchased at full cost. Standard UpgradesModifications that are listed as standard in the vehicle’s stat block (or on p.155, Rigger 5.0 for vehicles from SR5) do not use up any of the vehicle’s mod slots and are already factored into the attribute ratings of the vehicle. For example, a Toyota Gopher has standard Off-Road Suspension. The +1 to handling off-road and -1 to handling on-road are already reflected in its Handling score of 5/5. Legal or Restricted vehicles with stock Forbidden mods use only the vehicle's listed availability code. This does not apply to Forbidden modifications (including Forbidden weapons in an otherwise legal mount) made in addition to stock modifications. Upgrading Vehicle ModsIt is possible to upgrade vehicle modifications which have multiple ratings. To do so, characters must succeed on a standard Availability roll for the modification rating they are upgrading to, then pay both the price difference and difference in mod slots between the new and old modification. It’s also possible to downgrade a modification, though characters who do so won’t get anything back and still need to succeed at a standard Availability roll for the new device. Vehicles which have integral modifications with multiple ratings may not upgrade these mods. Instead, you must remove the integral mod and replace it with the mod of a higher (or lower) rating paying the full amount of mod slots for the upgraded mod. Delivery times are the same as buying a brand-new version of the new device. GridLinkThis and GridGuide are considered to be two facets of the same system, much like the Smartgun system and the Smartlink. Vehicles using the Rigger 5 rules (vehicles from that book or using modifications from that book) come standard with GridLink at no additional cost, even if it is not listed in their entry, unless they are a throwback, a vehicle purchased with the "Genuine High-Quality Recertified Vehicles" power, or otherwise specifically lacking GridLink. Characters which have previously bought a GridLink system for a vehicle which has the system as standard equipment may refund the full purchase price of the modification. GridLink can be overridden with Gridlink Override, Manual Override, or Rigger Interface modifications. It is a good idea to have at least one of these modifications if the owning character wants to avoid any situation where the vehicle might be remotely controlled by the authorities – such as a car chase or rolling firefight. Ram PlatesThe Ram Plate takes up 2 Weapon slots. It costs 250 nuyen per point of vehicle Body and has a 6R availability. Body ModificationsEjection Seats
Parachutes are included in the price, if desired. Nanomaintenance SystemThis modification allows characters to repair a vehicle between runs at no cost, like a garage, in addition to its RAW functionality. Powertrain ModificationsGyro StabalizationThe vehicle will automatically stay upright in most conditions and can be driven in VR - providing it has a secure seat. For vehicle tests that require balance, the driver receives a +2 dice pool bonus. This modification is only available for Motorcycles.
Secondary PropulsionThe Speed and Handling limits imposed by the Secondary Propulsion modification are altered by Control Rigs, Vehicle Empathy, and similar effects that alter limits on vehicle tests. Weapon ModificationsDrone RacksDrone Racks are immediately visible when installed, but without looking inside or performing a detailed scan, characters only know that the modification exists. Stored drones are considered inactive until removed or launched. Standard drone racks may be upgraded to landing racks of the same size by paying the difference in costs and rolling at the higher availability. Manual Weapon MountsManual and Armored Manual Weapon Mounts may be operated with the mounted weapon's normal skill in place of Gunnery. Vehicle Weapon Mounts CapacitiesLight Weapon Mounts can hold 100 rounds of ammo. Standard Weapon Mounts hold 250 rounds of ammo. Heavy Weapon Mounts can hold 500 rounds of ammo, Body missiles/rockets, and Body x 3 Grenades. Electromagnetic ModificationsPilot EnhancementThe description of this modification incorrectly states that Pilot programs can have a rating of 1 to 9, this should be 1 to 6. Pilot programs may be upgraded after character creation to a higher rating by paying the difference in cost between the old and new ratings. The character must still succeed on a standard Availability roll as if they were purchasing the new Pilot rating outright, and installing the upgrade requires a Cosmetic ModificationsMetahuman AdjustmentThis modification, and the penalty to all non-human metatypes introduced in its description, are not used on RunnerHub. AmenitiesThis modification is required for a character to live in a vehicle, per the Lifestyle rules. Vehicle RepairsThe vehicle repair rules introduced in Rigger 5.0 (p.29) are not used on RunnerHub. Refer to the section on repairing gear instead. Advanced Driving RulesThe Advanced Driving Rules introduced in Rigger 5.0 (p.173 - 182) can be used on RunnerHub, but are considered to be optional due to their complexity. GMs that intend to use them are encouraged to note that fact in their job postings, and players who intend to use them should ask permission from the GM first. Vehicle ArmorVehicle (and drone) Armor is not hardened armor; however, the DV of an attack (before soak) must be greater than or equal to the vehicle’s modified armor rating (after AP) to cause damage. For example, a weapon with a damage code of GroundcraftBMW Gaia
Launched through a multi-million Euro campaign that emphasizes spirituality and the concept of Mother Earth Gaia – hence the nickname – the "eco" label in the name of the well-known and robust 550 doesn't truly represent ecological concerns, but rather focuses on economic aspects. This is thanks to GridLink technology and an exceptionally efficient engine. However, it's worth noting that the BMW Gaia is a bit controversial in the shadows, its double-row front lights are a bit too distinctive, the GridLink system that needs a manual override, and the engine needs a performance boost. After that though, you have a resilient vehicle tailored for "business" purposes. Standard Equipment: Anti-Theft System 2, Passenger Protection System Rating 2, Improved Economy, GridLink, Amenities (Middle) BMW M8
Armor brings weight. Weight costs speed. Speed needs stronger engines. Engines bring weight. In their eternal search for the perfect mix of safety and speed, highway warriors and other criminal speeders have discovered the muscle car segment, which is shrinking in the age of gridlink and eco-conscious e-drive. Massively built and massively processed, muscle cars such as the M8 are literally pushed forward by high-powered fuel engines - hybrid and electric motors are considered to be effeminate aberrations and unnecessary weight. Based on the BMW880, the M8 motorsport version offers a surprising amount of space for a sports car and enough room between and in front of the seats to store bags of equipment. This is one of the reasons why the M8 is a popular rogue car in the Trid and a preferred choice for all larger metahumans whose powersport dreams usually fail at the entry point of sleek race cars.” Similar Models: Eurocar Mirage 3500, Ford Mustang Turbo Standard Equipment: None BMW Sleipnir aka BMW 3XT

With models such as the X One and the X Se7en, BMW has been offering a small but stable selling selection of SUVs for some time now. With the much bigger X Infinity, it seems that besides financially strong managers who are insecure about their penis size, those groups who use SUVs as real workhorses (i.e. security services, mercenaries and military personnel of all kinds) are now being targeted. The main competitor is the Ares Humvee, whose design and functionality has been copied more than just a little. Similar Models: Ares Hummer H8, Citroen Aventurier 77 Standard Equipment: Off Road Suspension BMW TeufelkatzeChanged Standard Equipment to: Anti-Theft System 3, Signature Masking 2, Special Equipment (FlashTech in Headlights and Taillights) FlashTech functions as a Flash-pak with 10 charges per Headlight or Taillight.

The Omnirider has 4 tires. Special Tires can be bought as Run-Flat/Off-Road/Racing for an additional cost equal to the cost of the other tire type. Chrysler-Nissan Bobcat
Since Chrysler-Nissan was taken over by Sony, the vehicle division of the former car giant (Dodge, Jeep, Toyota, Mercedes-Benz) has been cut down quite a bit to free up production capacities for the rapidly increasing demand for drones. However, this has never prevented Chryler-Nissan from launching new models, which are usually based on earlier successful models of its own brand portfolio. A classic example of this is the Bobcat, which is a reinterpretation of Chrysler's earlier success, the Grand Voyager: an extremely flexible, convertible van concept aimed at soccer moms, carpools or literally "big" families, with a focus on affordable comfort and robust construction. Generous room layout, many discreetly placed storage compartments, multiple connections for consumer electronics or mini fridge and drone mounts integrated into the roof are valued standards of the model.

This successor to the Dodge Twister, and thus spiritual heir to the Dodge Ram, is a true pickup monster perfectly suited to both the road and wilderness conditions of the sixth world. The Hurricane line offers different pick-up versions for almost every need: small, relatively inexpensive two-door models, four-doors with extended cab, open flatbed or closed cab bodies, military versions for security services - the portfolio leaves nothing to be desired. In Germany, Chrysler Nissan sells the same model under the name Mercedes-Benz Tornado. The design is practically identical, only the radiator is different and of course the star in the middle. Small design-upgrades, a higher quality interior, additional subwoofers for a more powerful True4D-HiFi-Sound and of course the name Mercedes are reflected in 20% higher prices for the Mercedes-Benz Tornado.” Similar Models: Landrover Behemoth, Volkswagen TT60 Standard Equipment: Off-road Suspension, Amenities (Middle) (only Mercedes-Benz Tornado) Game information: All models are available with open platform or closed cab body (+2k compared to the respective base price).

When at the end of the 2060s the task of creating a new generation of vehicles for police duties was undertaken, the requirements for the "Patrol and Street Service" domain were quite straightforward: low costs, high modularity, high speed, sufficient armor, and inconspicuousness. The 2073 Catcher won the bid by securing victories in four out of the five categories. Built on the chassis of the EMC 2072, it blends the cost-effectiveness of established series production with the modest and inconspicuous appearance of a family car. The chassis was accordingly reinforced and boasts an engine that would be a credit to any sports car. Drawing from experiences with the Honda 3240 and the Persecutor SE, various versions were developed, finding use both in the financial districts of European metropolises and the less civilized suburbs of the Rhein-Ruhr region. Through adaptable modules, a 2073 Catcher can quickly transform from a patrol vehicle into a convoy security companion. As a result, the Catcher is particularly popular among security firms seeking to maintain medium to large vehicle fleets and offer a wide range of services to their clients. Some compromises were accepted, resulting in the standard versions of the vehicles featuring only moderate armor and light weaponry.

Just as the Mercury Oort was initially ridiculed as a design mistake the Mercury Cruiser, which was trimmed for the retro look of American muscle cars, has long since established itself on the market. The "American dimensions" of this cruiser also make a significant contribution to this - a feature that is brought to the extreme in the Cruiser model series: wide, bulky shapes, over 1 meter of additional length, a more powerful engine, plenty of space for families and, in contrast to the Oort, city-friendly sliding doors make the Mercury Comet Cruiser an increasingly normal sight even on German roads. The 900¥ more expensive Cruiser-S (S for Scenic) variant with continuous skylight from front to rear and integrated video display function is particularly popular with families and long-distance drivers the kids in the back - or you drive on autopilot right away, combine the seats into a continuous sunbathing area and relax under the steplessly switchable opaque roof display.” Similar models: Citroën L’Age d’Or, Mandarin 7 Standard equipment: None Nordseewerk Thetis

What the MultiCity lacks in terms of safety and speed, it makes up for with inconspicuousness: this Multivan has been marketed by VW for several decades - it is available in countless variants and is so inexpensive even when new that small and medium-sized companies are only too happy to fall back on this all-rounder. A look in every used car forum is enough to find a suitable MultiCity in every Plex of the ADL within hours, or even from 19% of the new price if recognizable defects and mileage beyond 200000 don’t matter.
