The Maelstrom Goon is the common soldier of Maelstrom, the cyberware obsessed gang of northern Watson. Goons fight either with guns or with blades.
Lore
Maelstrom fills its members with powerful and highly illegal implants, and many of them live close to cyberpsychosis. Its goons wear the gang's faceplates and glowing red optics, the mark of their worship of chrome. They hold the industrial north of Watson, where Maelstrom runs its business.
Behaviour
A ranged Goon shoots from cover with assault rifles, submachine guns or pistols, and throws frag grenades to flush targets out. A melee Goon rushes in with a machete or a blade. Their weapons can carry thermal mods that set targets on fire, and their implants let them jump high and far, or break free of a grapple. A combat stim keeps them on their feet a little longer.
