My guess is that we'll see more high-tech weaponry. I mean "Laser
Weapons" is a full-blown active skill and there is actually just one
Weapon that falls into the category. I just hope they don't include
MASER-weapons (poor Gilettes...). Then probably more heavy weapons
useable more for pirate and mercenary groups than runners and now that
Deus is doing heavy genetic engineering, we might see biological
weapons.
What else could be in it?
-BattleTech/CP2020-like Needlers
-More Gyro-Weapons for space-operation
-NO smart ammo
-Mines
-Special Melee weapons (like a garrote(sp?))
-New FA-rules ;)
