Effective even against armored targets, the pellets explode with tremendous energy upon hitting from their target, propelling the flechettes to tremendous speeds. Additionally, a laser-tracking system built into the weapon guides the pellets to their targets, allowing them to make minor adjustments in flight before showering their victims with a hail of deadly flechettes.

Thermal Detonator

p. 165

When using a thermal detonator, any result on the check means the detonator explodes prematurely. The wielder takes full damage from the weapon unless they can perform an additional maneuver to try to get clear; in this case, they only suffer the Blast damage.

Thermal Detonators are so potent that their Blast quality affects everyone within short range of the original target.

G-20 Glop Grenade

E-EtU p. 42

Inside the sphere is a refillable reservoir that holds a semiliquid foam that instantly hardens upon contact with oxygen. The hardened foam is only good for around five minutes, after which it begins to break down and becomes brittle and easy to shatter.

A glop grenade's Ensnare quality triggers automatically on any targets the weapon hits, with no need to spend .

Whenever a target is hit with a glop grenade, they must make an Easy () Coordination check to keep the foam from filling their breathing passages. Failure on the skill check indicates that the foam has cut off the target's air, and they immediately suffer the effects of suffocation (p. 214).

Glop Grenade Refill

Glop grenades that are recovered after use can be refilled with special pressurized hypoinjectors that transfer the foam from a sealed container into the grenade's reservoir without exposing it to the atmosphere. This requires an Easy () Ranged (Light) check to complete.

Failure on the check indicates that the foam has been ruined, and any net gained on a failed skill check means that some mishap with the filling system occurs and the user is engulfed in quickly hardening goo. This doesn't require an attack roll, but it does require the user to make an Easy () Coordination check to avoid getting the goo in their nose or mouth per the rules above.

Purchase of a Glop Grenade includes the hypoinjector and five refill canisters. Additional refill canisters can be purchased for 10 credits apiece and have a rarity of 6.
