I got into Cyberpunk Red after playing Cyberpunk 2077, like I'm sure many others did. When the Cyberpunk Edgerunners Mission Kit was announced I was excited to play with all the guns and equipment from the 2070s era. However, I was a little disappointed when I got to the section on the weapons and they just felt a little underwhelming and difficult to implement. I also didn’t love how generic the standard guns in Red felt. I decided to put together a list of unique guns to have players purchase from instead using some of the rules from Interface 5, alongside a homebrew burst fire system I came up with (described later in the post). I wanted every gun to feel unique and to add the feeling that you had to purchase from corps, so every weapon has a manufacturer attached to it as well.
Let me know what people think of this list. Do you like this, is this or something like it something you see yourself using in your own games? Is there interest in an expansion? Let me know!
Burst Fire
Some weapons are listed with the firing property Burst Fire (x). When firing a weapon with this property, one can choose to utilize burst fire, expending a total number of bullets equal to the weapons burst fire rating (x). On a successful shot, add that number to the damage roll as a flat value. When firing burst fire use the standard range table and weapon skill associated with that weapon.
