MedTech Synapse Scrambler: This pistol fires an energy beam that causes severe mental disorientation, balance destabilization and motor skill reduction. Featuring an 18-round removable magazine and a the ability to switch between single shot and fully automatic fire, the 88 Mod 4 sacrifices stopping power for capacity and rate of fire. W-Y 88 Mod 4 Combat Pistol: A compact 9mm automatic pistol popular with corporate security forces as well as many Colonial Marines, some of whom prefer it over the more powerful but less versatile M4A3. Be careful it doesn’t get stuck in the target, though! Not much use against metal but will make a mess of flesh and bone if swung with sufficient force. Hand Axe: A simple, lightweight metal hatchet designed for use as an emergency tool.įire Axe: A long-handled, heavy-headed axe for chopping things. Light Source, Thrown, Single Use, Fire Intensity 5 Light Source, Single Shot, Fire Intensity 5 I am very slowly working on an “Aliens: Dark Horse Comics” sourcebook, but wanted to post these basic stats for now, since they are “needed” to plug the missing gaps in weaponry in some cases (especially when converting Mothership – an awesome RPG I’d highly recommend – adventures to the Alien TRPG system). These are all taken from “official” Alien sources the films themselves (Hand Axe, M40 Grenade), video games (M39 SMG) or Dark Horse comics/novels (Synapse Scrambler, Wilton Tangler).

The following are my own rough stats for some new weapons. Because of this, there are many “missing” weapons, creatures, vehicles and locations for long-time Alien fans! I’ve taken it upon myself to recreate some of these “missing” things, starting with the most glaring weapon omissions… However, it primarily deals with aspects of the films, despite a few fun references to other Alien fiction, such as the comics and novels published by Dark Horse. Free League’s Alien: The Roleplaying Game (hereafter referred to as Alien TRPG) is a fantastic RPG that really captures the spirit and terror of the Alien movies (Alien, Aliens, Prometheus, etc.).
