not nescary. SRII is deadly, the players survive by having the edge. The
main advantage that they really have is that the (majority of the time)
Player use there head.
The first thing you has got to remember is that most npc are there to be
killed. Don't be upset if they get shot down.The second thing is that the
aim of the GM is not to kill the PC (although it my be nescary at times).
Here is a few pointers to make npc's more powerful, with out the extra
equipment.
1) get into cover. It is only on vary rare ecasions that they is
not some sort of cover around. Partial cover gives +2 to target numbers.
2) Choose your PC's weapons carefully. If you are dealing with a
large party, then the shotgun is ideal becuase it gets them all.
3) Let the NPC's find the players weaknesses .
4) Let the NPC's get smarter. Let thenm do specialist manovers like
retreating.
5) Use the less well known pieces of equipment take are effective
when the players are unprepaired, ie flash grenands, net guns, tasers.
If the players are getting cocky then let the npc's stage and ambush, that
should shit the party up.
Another good point to remember is that Heavy Weapon and heavy armour
attract attention, either from police of local gangs. A good mugging
really screws up thouse poeple that walk around like a military armoury
(you can garantee that these sort of people always carry everything around).
I hope this helps in some way.
