I am issuing a warning to the Future War Cult that I , after a long campaign of dedicated service will be surrendering my allegiance to the Dead Orbit faction. The matter is not one of ethics or otherwise, but simply because of FWC's failure to supply a scout rifle to their followers. I wish it could be different, but the SR4 supplied by Dead Orbit is far too tempting to go without any longer. However I do value the advice of the community. Is there a better scout rifle out there? Edit: Thanks to everyone for the conversation. While we are on the topic of factions I also had my eyes on the sidearm that New Monarchy has for sale. Anybody know about this weapon (know of a better one?)
