Weapon Attachments
T
he longer the average fringer lives with a weapon,
the more likely it is that he will modify it in some
way to increase its performance or otherwise better
suit his tastes and needs. The following is a selection
of common attachments and modifications that can
be installed on personal weapons. Due to the very
personal nature of customization, it is nearly impos-
sible to catalog every possible modification a fringer
could make to his equipment, and the following list,
while detailed, is far from comprehensive.
It should be noted that, even with taking a weap-
on's customization hard points into account, there is
limited space on even the largest weapon, and only a
few spots where attachments can be mounted. For ex-
ample, under-barrel attachments such as bipods and
auxiliary weapons can only be mounted to long arms
like blaster rifles or slugthrower rifles. In addition, us-
ing under-barrel attachments as an example, rifle-sized
weapons can only mount one under-barrel attachment
due to space limitations. Players and Came Masters
should use common sense when choosing attachments,
and are advised to pay close attention to the attach-
ment descriptions that note where attachments can be
mounted and what weapons they can be mounted to.
AUGMENTED SPIN BARREL
Using an updated and streamlined galven pattern and
heavy-duty static pulse adaptors, this custom barrel in-
creases both the damage output and armor penetration
of blaster rifles and heavy blaster rifles. The trade-off for
all this extra stopping power is increased wear and tear on
both the frame of the blaster and the barrel, leading to an
increase in maintenance and down-time. This attachment
can only be used with blaster rifles and heavy blaster rifles.
Models Include: Dolmax 243X "Penetrator" Aug-
mented Spin Barrel, Arakyd HH780 HotShot Barrel,
BlasTech Model 21 3 Perforator Barrel.
Base Modifiers: Increase weapon damage by one
point. Adds • to all Mechanics checks when perform-
ing maintenance on this weapon.
Modification Options: 2 Damage +1 Mods, 1
Weapon Quality (Accurate + 1) Mod, 1 Weapon Qual-
ity (Pierce + 1) Mod.
Hard Points Required: 2
Price: 1,750 credits.
BALANCED HILT
Balance is key in a well-constructed melee weapon. Pro-
fessional weaponsmiths can use modern ultra-light mate-
rials to create a sword or axe that is not only lighter, but
also more accurate in the hands of a skilled warrior. This
attachment can be used with any melee weapon.
Models Include: None.
Base Modifiers: Grants the weapon the Accurate
(+1) Quality.
Modification Options: 1 Weapon Quality (Accurate
+ 1) Mod, 1 Decrease encumbrance of weapon by
one to a minimum of one Mod.
Hard Points Required: 2.
Price: 1,500 credits.
BLASTER ACTUATING MODULE
A Blaster Actuating Module is a blaster modification pop-
ular with mercenaries, bounty hunters, and anyone need-
ing to make the first strike count. Adaptable to nearly any
blaster pistol, this attachment is a simple upgraded blast-
er actuating module with custom firmware and a stronger
electromagnetic accelerator that provides more powerful
and more penetrating blaster shots. Unfortunately, this
excess power takes its toll on the weapon, and blasters so
modified tend to develop reliability problems the longer
they are used with this attachment. This attachment is
only for use on Ranged (Light) blaster pistols.
Models Include: SoroSuub X440 "Hammer" Blaster
Actuating Module, Dolmax Heavy Blaster Actuator,
Arakyd 97R Enhanced Blaster Actuating Module.
Base Modifiers: Increase weapon damage by one
point. Adds • to all Ranged (Light) checks when using
this weapon.
Modification Options: 2 Damage +1 Mods, 2
Weapon Quality (Pierce + 1) Mods.
Hard Points Required: 1.
Price: 500 credits.
BIPOD MOUNT
Little more than a pair of folding or collapsible legs
mounted beneath the barrel of a long arm, bipods
are used to stabilize awkward or heavy weapons
to improve their firing characteristics. Especially
useful when firing from behind low cover or from a
prone position, bipods are typically used on squad
support weapons, or by sharpshooters and snipers
to better steady their weapons. This attachment
can only be applied to rifles, carbines, and light
repeating blasters, and takes one preparation ma-
neuver to set up.
Models Include: Galactic Arms XA Classic Bipod,
Czerka AA20 Marksman Bipod.
Base Modifiers: Decrease weapon's Cumbersome
rating by 2 when firing from a prone or crouched posi-
tion (or can otherwise brace the bipod on something).
Modification Options: None.
Hard Points Required: 1.
Price: 100 credits.
