Overview
These Enhanced Prosthetic limbs were ones which concealed a weapon within the agent's arms, in this case a Needle which could retract behind hidden panels in the arm or hand. This hypodermic injector could be used to deliver a variety of poisons or other solutions into the target, and the ability to spot this concealed weapon was very difficult.[1]
As with other prosthetic enhancements these were employed only by the intelligence agencies of the Inner Sphere with agents who already had a Type 3 or superior prosthetic limb. The Clans were too philosophically opposed and the Periphery too poor to make use of them beyond rare cases.[2] Among the Manei Domini this upgrade was available to all agents with the necessary prosthetic limb.[3]
Notes
In CBT play each conventional infantryman equipped with a Needle enhanced limb added 0 damage to a platoon's damage value and could only be used against other conventional infantry, but received a +2 to-hit bonus. In RPG play this limb had the following statistics in addition to all rules associated with enhanced limbs.[3]
- Equipment Ratings: D/E/F
- Armor Piercing/Base Damage: 0/1D6
- Shots: 1
- Cost/Reload: 800/*
- Notes: Effect as poison or medication*
