Weapons tech (Cyberpunk RED)

Skills

Definition

Weapons Tech is the specialized skill of working with weapons—repairing firearms, modifying them for better performance, crafting ammunition, and maintaining the lethal tools that edgerunners depend on for survival. In Night City, where weapons are essential equipment, a skilled Weaponstech is worth their weight in eddies. Weapons Tech uses your TECH stat and covers everything from basic weapon maintenance to advanced modification and custom weapon crafting. A Weaponstech can repair a jammed assault rifle mid-combat, customize a handgun for better accuracy, craft specialty ammunition, add suppressors and scopes, and even build weapons from scratch with the right materials. For edgerunners, this means cheaper weapon upkeep, personalized gear that performs better than off-the-shelf, and the ability to field-repair weapons when the shooting gets heavy. In a world where your gun jamming means death, having a Weaponstech is insurance.
