I guess you could combine decking with being the wheelman of the team (primary a decker that access the matrix with a cyberdeck, but that also have a control rig implant, invest into reaction and piloting skills). If you wish to switch from using (accessing the matrix with) a RCC to a Cyberdeck you even need to first reboot both of them. Riggers and Deckers are in this specific edition made into two different roles with very little overlap.ĭrone gunnery is linked to agility (unless if using sensor guided targeting) and piloting (even in VR mode) is linked to reaction (which kinda make drone operator riggers more similar to a street samurai than a decker).
You really do need all the money and skills you can get, your attributes will be a bit limp but that's the price you pay for filling two incredibly powerful and versatile roles. Rigger is a role you CAN invest a lot in, but really only needs some stealth, some gunnery and the basics of drones and cars, other than the skills you can get and upgrade drones relatively easy later on.įor Sum to 10 I'd say Resources and skills at A, C for attributes and then E E for meta and magic. If you can squeeze in an R1 control rig that will be a huge benefit, as you can hack while jumped in, so you can use drones as proxies, making for a great "on site" hacker.
You can command drones through your cyberdeck while in VR just fine, the only benefit an RCC has is autosoft sharing and noise reduction, and sufficient noise reduction you can mod your deck for. It is much easier to make a decker into a rigger later, than it is to do it the other way around. I recommend you make a decent decker and then get a decent car and a drone or two "Watch your back, shoot straight, conserve ammo, and never, ever, cut a deal with a dragon."
