50 Hunting Rifle for 17CD Piercing 2 Vicious, the Throwing Weapons character is still at 6 dice, wondering why they put Skill Points into Throwing Weapons. And when the Rifleman build is at level 14 and shooting a Sneak Attack with a Suppressed Scoped. 6CD Piercing Vicious is good, but that’s a Hunting Rifle’s starting Sneak Attack, no AP required. A Throwing Weapons build is getting screwed by the rulebook. While you’ve demonstrated that Throwing Weapons aren’t entirely useless, you must admit that Throwing Weapons do not have the rules support of the other weapon types. Throwing Weapons have three low-Rarity, low-Damage weapons, no Mods, the Heave Ho! Perk and the Mister Sandman Perk.
Every other kind of weapon has a big list of Rarity 4+ weapons, Mods, and Perks to improve. And even after that, there are Suppressor Mods for Small Guns.
You can do that with literally anything for the first Round. Okay, but Sneak Attacks don’t require that a weapon be Suppressed.
