The HiJaCK - a new utility traitor weapon

[wowzewow]

The High Inteference Jammer and Comms Killer.

Originally a standard surplus C-UAS gun, co-opted by guerilla millitias with some rather creative illicit aftermarket modifications.

A portable cherynobl of common transmission waves, it requires a large back-mounted battery to support its immense power consumption.

When it is in use, it generates a wide cone in which communication devices are bombarded with inteference.

Anyone unwise enough to continue wearing their headsets will experience a deafening screech, and mild nausea.

Stationbounds and Synthetics will experience a gravely disorienting bout of confusion, unable to walk properly or form coherent sentences.

Computers, PDAs and suit sensors will struggle to function - sending their data into a sea of gibberish.

Note that this doesn't do damage at all, even EMP. Just some mild radiation. It's an utility weapon, after all.

 

I'm just spitballing here, I just think another pacifistic alternative would be interesting.

I'm vaguely reminded of the HONK exosuit. It's interesting but I hope the battery would be fairly short-lived.

I like it, sounds like it might be an interesting way to handle crew and bounds without being charged for attempted murder.

Sounds like an interesting idea for dealing with IPCs and Cyborgs. I wouldn't count on it for anything else really, because I assume using this thing will mean you can't fight properly. Maybe you can adapt the idea and make it useful against everyone or make it a deployable item.
