Arasaka Riot 8
(Redirected from Arasaka Riot-VIII)
The Riot 8 is an armored-personnel carrier (APC) in Cyberpunk 2020. It was first introduced in Chromebook Volume 1 and expanded on in Corporation Report 2020 Volume 1, Maximum Metal and Firestorm Shockwave.
Overview
The Riot 8 is a state-of-the-art crowd control/suppression vehicle. Though it isn't a fully-fledged combat vehicle, it does have a fully fire-resistant hull designed to shrug off Molotov cocktails. It is capable of operating in the rough terrain of ruined urban environments for days if necessary and it even works off-road. The Riot 8 is open-topped, and troops inside it only receive SP cover 75% of the time.[1][2][3]
Equipment
- A water cannon (that can also project steam) in a 360° open mount with a range of 30m; 10m for live steam. It can spray up to 10 minutes. The water does not damage, but resisting the flow is a strength roll vs. 17 difficulty. No actions are possible if the roll fails. If the roll succeeds, all actions are at -5.
Steam is 1D6 per turn damage to exposed skin, and a Cool roll to do actions without a -5 modifier.
- An automatic grenade launcher on the cab roof; it has a 180° arc 300m range and carries 18 standard grenades.
- Cyber-assisted system
- Satellite uplink for remote operation
- Military radio
- Auto pilot
