Dreaded Punknaught (RED)
This article is about the Vehicle in Cyberpunk RED. For the Vehicle in Cyberpunk 2020, see Dreaded Punknaught (2020).A Dreaded Punknaught is a temporary armoured vehicle which has been assembled from the miscellaneous parts of other vehicles.
Overview
A Dreaded Punknaught is a temporary vehicle juryrigged from the discarded parts of other vehicles with the intent of being as strong as possible. Assembling a Punknaught requires 10 people, one of them being a Techie to act as the boss. The team will then retrieve the Punknaught Parts they require using the bosses Basic Tech Skill Check and spend time installing them.
Once the Punknaught has been assembled, the boss will make a Land Vehicle Tech Skill Check. Failure causes the Punknaught to be completely unusable. Success causes the Punknaught to remain operational for a number of hours equal to the amount the Land Vehicle Tech Skill Check was beat by (this time only elapses while the Punknaught is being actively driven). When a Punknaught is destroyed, it usually causes a lot of destruction.
A basic Punknaught (nothing but the Punknaught Core) has 60 SPD, 20 Seats, 15 MOVE, and 60MPH Narrative Speed.[1]
