Heavy Gear RPG: Murdock & Seeker
Hey everyone, Prof here with a quick RPG update.
The KS is ending soon, and we just unlocked our last adventure stretch goal and the final goal is a new art book. We would love to get that done and show off all the stuff we have done. Blitz also just unveiled the 3.1 companion that Rooster has been hard at work on for quite a while. It has many new units for Blitz and of course we want them in the RPG! The only two vehicles that were in there that didn’t make it into the RPG book were the Murdock and Seeker. These are available in the North vehicle list.
| Variant | TV | PL | Crew | MR | Arm | HI | GU | PI | EW | Weapons, Equipment & Traits | Type | Size |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Murdock | 7 | 4 | 2 | G:7 | 6 | 6 | -1 | +0 | +2 | LGL, Satellite Uplink, ECCM Suite, Elite Sensors, Rugged Terrain Kit | Vehicle | 1.5" |
| Seeker | 7 | 6 | 2 | G:7 | 6 | 6 | -1 | +0 | +2 | MMG, LRP, Rugged Terrain Kit, Comms Suite, Advanced ECM Suite, ECCM Suite, Elite Sensors, Stealth Kit | Vehicle | 1.5" |
The Murdock offers a fantastic sensor suite for its PL as well as early access to the Satellite uplink. The downsides are its limited armaments and crew of 2 needed to fully operate the vehicle.
The seeker pushes this even further although it loses the satellite Uplink to become a devoted EW platform. Stealth EW is very powerful in the RPG as being able to hide has added benefits.
