SR 5th ed. Ares Predator V question

AndrewD2 · July 13th, 2014, 07:37 AM

Is there a reason it's automatically adding 725 worth of accessories making it cost double?

Other people have beat you to reporting this bug through the bug tracking system, and it'll be fixed in the next update.

Awesome thanks Mathias. I wasn't sure if I was just missing something in the rules.

Yea, this is actually happening to a number of other guns as well, but the only one I can remember off the top of my head is the Ares Crusader II...

I believe it is happening to any gun with an internal smartlink.

Yep, the issue is that every weapon with an internal smartlink, even those that come with it standard, are doubling the cost of the weapon and all of its accessories (including ammunition) and using that as the modifications cost.

Working around that is rather easy, though. :-)
If you have a grasp on the editor, you can simply half the cost of the weapon in there. Done!

The bug causes EVERYTHING to double in price, including not just the weapon but any other accessories and, I believe, the ammunition as well. So, just halving the cost of the weapon won't actually work around the problem.

The workaround I have been using is to use the permanent adjustments under the personal tab to halve the cost of the weapon, all accessories, and ammunition.
