Cybernetic Info

This cybernetic decreases the action cost of firing pistols by 25%, allowing the user to fire pistols four times per three rounds (rather than a fifth time every four rounds as one might assume per its description), assuming no relevant skills. However, if one does have Fastest Gun in the Rust, its reduction stacks multiplicatively, for a 43.75% reduction in pistol action cost; this amounts to firing pistols almost twice as fast as one would without either the cybernetic or the skill.

Additionally, if the user is a True Kin who has somehow acquired an extra set of organic hands, it stacks with itself additively, allowing for a 50% reduction with two sets and up to 62.5% with Fastest Gun in the Rust. While a reduction of 100% (which would make the action cost of firing pistols 0, allowing for as many shots to be fired in a turn as the weapon has ammo/charge loaded for) is theoretically possible with four or more of this cybernetic, there is no way for a becoming nook-eligible body to gain that many pairs of organic hands.

The lowest possible action cost is achieved with two of this implant, Fastest Gun in the Rust, and Empty the Clips active. With all those, shooting a pistol only costs 187 action points (an 81.3% reduction), for over 5 shots per round before quickness modifiers.

Advantages & Disadvantages

This section is opinion-based. Your mileage may vary.

Advantages

• Effectively improves the damage output of pistols by around 25%.
• Useful at most stages of the game.
• Highly and easily synergistic with quickness, such as from inflatable axons
• Low cost allows for easy installation without much impact on the user's ablitly to install other implants.

Disadvantages

• Can lead to shortages of ammunition in the early and midgame, especially if the user uses multiple chain pistols.
• Bonus is highly specific and pistols often require heavy skill point investment, limiting applications for more melee orientated characters.

Tips

• Can be used to great effect with the gun rack, allowing the user to wield 4 rapid-firing pistols at once, this number can be raised even further up to a maximum of 7 with an installed magnetic core and 3 magnetized pistols.
• Combining the 25% reduction in action cost from rapid release finger flexors with the Fastest Gun in the Rust oe Empty the Clips can grant the user unique utility when used with specific pistols. Such utility includes but is not limited to:
  • Being able to shoot spaser pistols multiple times in a turn without needing to recharge.
  • Being able to use longreach grappling guns to freely travel across the map without taking a turn.
  • Being able to safely recover additional health with blood-gradient hand vacuum without as much risk of being attacked or killed while vulnerable.
