Digger Rifle

Digger Rifle
Created by Slappy

Kali hates how Bio-Tech devices like Host Armor have made the humans bold on the battlefield. They feel invincible beneath their thick suits of living armor, so Kali wanted a weapon that would remind them of how fragile they truly are. This enormous rifle fires robotic rounds that are programmed to burrow into their target and detonate once they reach the pilot within. Kali actually armed these micro-missiles with a low-grade S.D.C. explosive to maximize pain rather than lethality. It seems her sadistic side would not allow her to use more powerful explosives. Some of the more militaristic N.E.X.U.S. personalities like the basic design and are considering upping their destructive power, but Kali considers the weapon perfect just the way it is. The main drawback of the rifle is the time and resources required to build each round. The expense of manufacturing Digger ammunition has kept the supply low.

It takes one melee round to dig through Living Armor and two melee rounds to burrow through Host Armor. The round inflicts 3D6 M.D. per melee round as it hunts for the human within. Once it finds the pilot, it detonates, inflicting 8D6 S.D.C.
