TIPS
Ranged Combat There are two basic paths to choose between when choosing mods for your ranged items, and the choice is generally a simple one; cybered or not. If cybered a smartlink with rangefinder grants very nice benefits, and if not cybered, image magnification with a laser sight is the better choice. Obviously there are other choices then these but this is a good start point.
Vision: If ranged weaponry is used, particularly pistols, it is helpful to have some means for low-light or thermographic vision to help reduce visibility modifiers in addition to your choice in TN modifiers.
Armor Layering: You may layer pieces of armor to help increase survivability. All layering adheres to the following formula: (Full Ballistic and Impact rating for highest rated armor) + ((Half Ballistic and Impact rating)/(2 rounded down)) from all additional armor. Penalties are assessed once the total armored rating reaches twice the character's quickness rating.
