After a while, it's finally finished and as good as it gets! Here's the link to the guide!

FAQ:

-You can already dual wield by RAW! Why this?

You can dual wield and attack with one weapon in one turn, which isnt really AKIMBO spirit. This allows you to attack with both, as John Woo intended. It is also FUN!

This is a big improvement over the initial brainstorming. Also, the art is real good.

The balance is much better than messing with ROF, and I like that it makes things like suppressive fire just better, which makes a lot of sense. I'd make the ambidexterity chip either 500eb or 1000eb just because of how the economy and night market system and all that stuff works but otherwise this is pretty great.

Feel free to change the prices and availabilty for your game, I feel like currently it's a decent one.

Very cool, choom.

(my only recommendation is that I think you should have called the Autofire section "SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIENDS")

When ablating armor you mention you “only ablate once per attack roll”. Per attack roll you have two separate damage rolls, which gun ablates the armor if they both are above the SP value?

u/LazerGroove avatar

Doesn't matter, unless you have special ammo only in one or a special gun that ablates more than 1 sp

Absolute cool work! The rules are simple and very good to handle in play.

Quick clarification question: When you say "...you still need Subdermal SmartGrips or Interface plugs on each hand and Smartgun Links on each weapon." do you mean you need smartgrips and smartgun links in both hands in order to akimbo at all, or are you saying you need both guns in order to get the benefit specifically of smartgun links when dual-wielding?
