Heavy weapons (Cyberpunk RED)

Heavy Weapons covers the use of serious military hardware—rocket launchers, grenade launchers, flamethrowers, and other destructive ordinance that goes beyond personal firearms. These are weapons designed to destroy vehicles, breach fortifications, and eliminate hardened targets. Heavy Weapons uses your REF stat and occupies the extreme end of the combat spectrum. When shoulder arms aren't enough and you need to crack an armored transport, demolish a building entrance, or deal with a cyberpsycho in full body armor, Heavy Weapons is the answer. The downside is everything you'd expect: these weapons are expensive, the ammunition is rare, they're impossible to conceal, and collateral damage is almost guaranteed. Using heavy weapons in Night City draws immediate attention from law enforcement, corporate security, and everyone else in the blast radius. They're last-resort weapons for desperate situations—or first-resort weapons for people who don't care about subtlety.
