Xelnaga's Wrath. There is no 'overkill.' There is only 'open fire' and 'I need to reload'.
This weapon is massive when unconcealed and looks like a futuristic RPG launcher to a layman's eyes. When firing it gets extremely hot, venting off all excess heat to a port on the left side of the weapon. On the right is a pop out full targeting computer and scope mixed into one. It provides basic targeting data (Temp, wind, degrees, enough that it can be used as a spotting/landscaping instrument) of the location the particle beam will hit. The targeting computer can change between many vision modes including GEN V thermals, Night vision, and infrared. It has an auto target AI that will do the targeting for Mensk when he wants.
* Advanced-Fusion-Cannon
* 6 Weapon damage, penetrates 3 armor
* 600 Feet range
* 2 Rounds per reload
* Requires two full actions to fire. The first action must be spent charging the weapon, and it is fired on the second action.
* Botching causes this weapon to overheat and surge with energy, dealing 4 damage to the user and 2 to anyone within 5 feet.
* The recoil causes the user to be sent back 3 feet after firing. User takes a sev 1 injury if this launches them into a wall.

Charlatans
“Unsettling are the days in which everyone is an expert.”
― Criss Jami
Nowadays you can't go a day without some phony prophet trying to peddle their wares to you.
Driven by the increased interest in the supernatural, charlatans from palm readers to televangelists are everywhere. And while the vast majority of witches, psychics, magicians, hypnotists, cures, potions, faith healers, and clairvoyants are complete fakes, they do make a living.
As the saying goes, "it's easier for an actor to make it in alternative medicine than Hollywood."
Most people scoff at these clearly-phony supernatural services, yet those same people often buy into at least one scam.
The most dangerous charlatans are the self-styled monster hunters who carry a mall-ninja arsenal and guns with silver bullets. Most have never encountered anything supernatural and do absolutely nothing besides burn some sage and patrol the area for a night or two. Even so, those who are superstitious, fearful, or desperate enough will hire them to solve the problems they simply don't understand. In some cases with disastrous results.
For Contractors, charlatans are red herrings and obstacles. Clumsy fakes that conjure a smokescreen of misinformation and escalate the situations they're in.

Special Firearm Gifts
Exo-Rifle
A custom rifle designed to be used with James Sutton's exosuit. Double the size of a standard rifle, the firearm can configure into different ammo types depending on the situation, hot swapping between standard semi auto rifle ammo, shotgun shells and slugs, and armor penetrating sniper ammo.
This Artifact can be used as a rifle. It is roughly at least twice as large as a rifle and cannot be concealed on your person or disassembled for storage. Unless Wepon can only be used with the exosuit, this Artifact behaves as its mundane counterpart.
Attack by rolling Dexterity + Firearms, Difficulty 6. Successful attacks deal Contested Outcome +5 Weapon Damage.
You also gain the following effects:
- Keyhole: Any bullet that kills your target tumbles through their body and may strike a target in a 90 degree angle behind them. Any damage beyond that needed for the kill is applied to the secondary target.
- You may spend a Quick Action to change this firearm's base stats into those of any other basic firearm.
- Shredder: If you successfully hit your target, the value of any Armor they are wearing is reduced by 2. For material armor, this penalty lasts until it is repaired. For intrinsic armor, it lasts until the end of Combat and any relevant wound is healed.
- Excess keyhole damage does not reapply the weapon's damage bonus and is affected by Armor as normal. The secondary target may React to the tumbled bullet if they have a Gift which lets them do so.
- Changing this weapon's base type affects its range, Weapon Damage, concealability, and roll. Other mechanics of the chosen base firearm (such as the tripod requirement for sniper rifles) apply.
- This Artifact cannot be disguised or morphed with other Effects like Shape-Changing object.
- Reminder: additional Weapon Damage granted by this Effect does not stack with any other bonus to Weapon Damage. Instead the largest bonus is used.
- Rifles are +1 Difficulty to use in melee range. Sniper Rifles are +3 Difficulty to use without a tripod or in melee range. Setting up a tripod takes an Action.

death knell
Striking the enemy's death knell with every shot

Hunter's Toolkit: Elephant Buster
With effort, and time, Hudson can create a special rifle bullet which tears the flesh much more than is standard. In addition to bypassing armor as a regular round does, it shreds it as well, leaving gaping wounds in the armor of targets....and if a target finds themselves soft and unprotected, they are quickly destroyed.
Cherry Rounds are visually similar to the .950 JDJ, only made by Hudson in a custom press.
