Weapons and armour are printed as they are in the other armories. Cyberware, bioware, programs, and drones are printed in tables.
## Tier
Every entry is **Near** or **Chrome**. It is the first tier in which the item is sold.
## Price and Availability
**Price** is in present-day US dollars, as in *The Modern Armory*. A Universe with its own currency uses one number for both.

Chapter 11 has what it costs to buy what the law forbids.

## Qualities New to This Book
### Smart X
Passive
Ranked
The weapon is linked to its user through a **smartlink**: an implant, Smart Glasses, or a Smart Helmet. While it is linked:
- Remove up to X Bane Dice from the attack that come from range, darkness, smoke, the target's movement, or the shooter's own.
- The shooter may fire from full cover, by holding the weapon out and aiming through the link, adding 1 Bane Die.
Without a link the weapon has no Smart rating. A Smart weapon is a device: it can be jammed, pulsed, and hacked (Chapter 8), and while it is shut down it will not fire at all unless it was bought with a manual trigger, which every Common and Restricted one has.
### Airburst
Passive
The round bursts above or beyond what the target is behind. The weapon's Blast ignores cover, and the attack ignores Bane Dice from cover.
### Scanner-Evasive
Passive
The item is made to pass a machine. A scanner wand or arch does not find it. A search by hand finds it as it would anything else.
### Ion X
Passive
Ranked
As in *The Stellar Armory*: on a hit, the weapon deals X System Damage to a vehicle or drone. This book adds what it does to a person with cyberware: see Chapter 5.
