Shadowrun (Sega Genesis)/Accessories

Accessories are things like clips and weapon enhancements. Clips are the ammunition for all types of guns in the game. There is only one type of clip, and it is sold in every weapon store. Weapon enhancements, such as silencers and gas vents, are also sold in each weapon store in the game.

The setup of each entry is pretty straightforward: The name of the item, which type of gun it can be used on, the price scale(s), the in-game description and any notes.

Unlike the Equipment List, there is no "Also Available" field for each entry. That's because the only one that is available elsewhere is the clip. Clips will often be dropped by slain enemies and can be found inside safes in corps as well. Also, there is no "Buy At" field either, since all items are available at each weapon store: Crime Mall, Ares Weapon Emporium, and Weapons World. Of course, they can have varying prices at each store.

This isn't all that useful since the Gas Vent III (below) only costs a few hundred more.

This is a worthwhile item, as all weapon accessories are. Having one of these will improve your accuracy somewhat. Nothing really dramatic, but it's worth buying when you get a few extra hundred nuyen to spend. +--+--+---+---+ +--+--+---+---+

''Increases your chances of hitting a target by painting it with a beam of coherent light. Cannot be used with any kind of smartlink system.''

As the in-game description hints at, the Laser Sight is basically a poor man's Smartgun System. If your character has a Smartlink or Smart Goggles, then just save up for a Smartgun. If not, though, this is a fine choice. You can always upgrade—buying a Smartgun System will simply replace the Laser Sight. The opposite will not work: once your weapon has a Smartgun System installed you won't be able to replace it with a Laser Sight.

''Mutes the sound of gunfire to the level of a finger-snap. Using an unsilenced pistol inside a building immediately sets off an alert.''

This upgrade is Very affordable, and very useful for Pistol users. Silenced weapons won't offer a very significant combat advantage, but will make corp runs a lot easier because of the alarm avoidance. +--+--+---+---+ +--+--+---+---+

''Provides a feedback circuit to relay combat information which increases hit chances. Unless the user possesses smart goggles or a smartlink, this accessory does nothing.''

This is probably the best weapon accessory available. Smartguns are significantly more accurate than normal guns, especially when paired with a true Smartlink, and not just Smart Goggles. The Laser Sight is nice, but you should upgrade to a Smartgun System as soon as you have the money for the item and the cyberware required. +--+--+---+---+ +--+--+---+---+

''Mutes the sound of SMG-fire to a puff of released gasses. Using an unsilenced SMG inside a building immediately sets off an alert.''

Just as the Silencer is almost a necessity for Pistols, so is the Sound Suppressor for SMGs. Again, not so much for the slight combat advantage it gives you, but for the way it will simplify your corp runs. +--+--+---+---+ +--+--+---+---+

''These clips may be used in any gun. When switching weapons, the clip transfers the percentage of ammo left to the new gun.''

Make sure to pay attention to the prices at different stores when stocking up on ammo. The prices will vary, and the effect is greater when you're buying 20 or 30 at a time. Note also that the price at Ares is constant throughout the entire game, regardless of your Negotiation rating. Not only that, but it's the cheapest price available anywhere. To buy them anywhere else would be ripping yourself off.
