Memory Plastic Combat Suit (by SlamHound!)

When a specific electrical current is flowing it, this Combat Suit looks like a flight suit due to it’s composition of a memory ceramic/plastic polymer held together by cotton and kevlar-elastic. (SP 5 EV 0) When the power (supplied through several strip batteries in the lower back region) is turned off, the polymer reverts to its natural solid state (SP 27 EV 1). When the suit is first purchased it has to be “trained” or fitted by wearing the suit and putting your body though any possible movement you can think of. The suit learns your movements and shape and keeps the EV down. This means that if you try an unfitted suit or someone else’s suit you suffer an EV +3 and lose one off your MA.

Movie of a real live Cyberarm – Cyberpunk Tech 6

 

“The antique arm whined as he reached for another mug. It was a Russian military prosthesis, a seven-function force-feedback manipulator, cased in grubby pink plastic.”
— William Gibson, Neuromancer

Festo, a german corp, has a movie of a really cool hydraulic cyberarm on their site. Its so cool I want one. The movie indicates that the arm has enough tactile response to write on a touchscreen.

CYBERARM!

I found the link on lo-fi-samurai’s blog, which is very worth the time you spend there. He was the one I stole both the link and the quote from – I only added William Gibsons name and the title of the book.

Update: Extremely Cool Pistol Here

[Update: Detlev thinks, its a souped up Scorpion, like the on on the right had picture. That would mean, it fires Modell 61: 7,65 x 17 mm HR Browning,
Modell 64: 9 x 17 mm Browning, Modell 65: 9,2 x 18 mm Makarow, Modell 68: 9 mm Parabellum. Is he right?]

Who wants to write up some stats and a description for this gun? Can it be cyberlinked?

Brain and Nervous System Bioware

“It was spooky. When we finally opened the door the room was totally dark except for the strobing light from flatscreen panels surrounding the terminals. The panels just kept flipping from one display to another … flip, flip, flip … really fast. I was a little disoriented, so it took me a second or two to realize someone was sitting at the terminals. Kids. A dozen of ’em, and they couldn’t have been more than six, maybe seven years old. They just ignored us and stared at the screens.What was left of their instructor was stuck in a closet in the back of the room. They’d tied him up and gone over him with soldering lasers. And his eyes, they were…never mind.

I knew they were smart, that’s why ConGen was paying us to get one, but whatever they did to up their IQ’s messed up something in their heads. When we delivered ’em all to the drop-off point the troops in the aerodyne jumped out and put restraints on the little monsters before they loaded ’em onboard. If I knew then what I know now I’d have lined them up and put a round right between those big, staring eyes. Would’ve saved them, and the rest of us, a lot of suffering.”

ConGen Neural Bridge

Trust in ConGen to give you a hand…literally! This handy little bit of bioware is a bundle of cultivated nerve tissue that links the motor coordination areas of both sides of the brain to make the subject ambidextrous. You’ll be the envy of your fellow edgerunners as you stun the competition with moves they’d never expect.Type: Neural Bridge
Cost: $500
HC: 2
Surgery Code: Major

Effect: Tasks can be performed using either hand without penalty, but the standard -3 penalty does apply when trying to perform a task with each hand at the same time. For four weeks after implantation any skill use using the former “off” hand will be at half level until the subject adjusts to the new neural pathways.

Gastric Pouch (400eb)

This is a small reinforced pouch placed above the stomach. It is not connected to the stomach, however; the pouch opening is through an artificial sphincter connected to the esophagus just below the epiglottis. Characters with this implant can swallow small items, like chips, bullets, gems, drugs, etc. and direct them to the gastric pouch rather than to the stomach, spitting them up later for use. The pouch is reinforced (SP 2), but it is unwise to swallow anything Continue reading “New Cyberware for Cyberpunk 2020”

The Mentat (225,400 eb)

The Mentat is not so much a piece of cyberware, as it is a complete suite of coordinated cybernetic implants designed with the express purpose of boosting the user’s ability to gather, assimilate and analyze information.First, the user has a double size chipware socket grafted onto the back of their heads. This socket also has six interface plugs on it. Then they are given an injection of nanites, which immediately set about rewiring the user’s brain and nervous system. Paralysis results almost immediatey as a safety measure and the user is kept on life support for the next two weeks while the nanites construct a pair of high-density memory Continue reading “Two New Full Body Conversions for Cyberpunk 2020”

OCELOT’S DISCOUNT CYBER SHOP, v 1.0
Author: Gary Astleford, first posted to Mockery’s Cyberpunk 2020 Page

[This article deals with older/defect cyberware, which is on the other hand cheaper. Great for a gutterpunk / losers game or Characters short on money.]

Hey there, chombatta. Come on in, take a look around. I know, you’re used to the top-of-the-line, the creme de la creme, the chillest tech and the hottest cyb. That’s not what I deal in, though. That’s not my biz. I can give you what you want for as cheap as you want it, though it ain’t gonna run as good as the stuff you could get in that on-the-mall clinic. Then again, if you had the money for that place, you wouldn’t be here, would ya..?

ON DISCOUNT CYBERWARE

Cyberware’s expensive stuff, and if you want the Edge, you gotta be chipped in, wired up, and turned on. You think the world’s gonna stop just ’cause you can’t afford that orbital crystal cyberarm? I sell stuff made in third world nations by companies that no longer exist. Some of it’s military surplus. The rest of the stuff here got recalled a few years ago due to defects. Sure, none of the defects are TOO bad. Nothing you can’t live with. So what do you say? Continue reading “Discount Cyber Shop for Cyberpunk 2020”
