Dargoo Faust's [REDACTED] EDGES: Cyberpunk: 2163

Weapons

Sidearm Edge - UNSC

Dargoo's go-to: if a pistol can hold more ammo, it usually has more utility in a firefight. However considering the armor many of the soldiers are packing on either end I wouldn't say it derisively goes to the UNSC, as while 2 rounds is pitiful in terms of how long you'll be spending reloading, 2 lethal rounds versus 8 possibly lethal rounds can actually be a better asset.

Assault Edge - RDA

As both rifles have a similar RPM and range, we should look at the cartridge size, which the RDA packs in much more. As Beast has stated below, the UNSC's rifle is also far more clumsy, and while they have similar ranges, I personally see the RDA's weapon being able to operate better at a distance.

Shotgun Edge - UNSC

Sorry, the armor/energysheild-piercing rounds sold me. The UNSC employs some hefty armor and shields in its won rights, as well as the RDA, and the functionality of the weapon really doesn't outweigh having a more impactful shotgun round. At the range these weapons operate, you'd want to take down enemies in only one or two shots; something the UNSC will handily do with rounds as powerful as these.

Long Range Edge - UNSC

Again, the more powerful round helps here. Especially the fact that it can target and bring down vehicles, which will play into this fight later in my vote. Yes, the nailgun is far, far more sustainable than the UNSC's weapon, and can theoretically bring down powerful enemies with sneak attacks. However, quality over quantity here. The UNSC will get more utility out of a round that can deal with armor and vehicles as opposed to a round that doesn't seem that impressive outside of stealth attacks.

Explosive - UNSC

This is a very clear edge. Versatility, explosive power, use as a trap, I can go on. This is a pretty solid advantage that will help the UNSC in the long run.

Vehicle - RDA

While the Warthog is certainly an iconic vehicle, and it takes massive edges in both durability and firepower, as well as general maneuverability (Being able to traverse much more rough terrain). While the Warthog could theoretically move at faster speeds, that won't exactly help it when the moment it encounters an AMP Suit it'll be shrapnel.

X - Factors and Verdict

Without a doubt, the RDA's only really advantage over the various firepower and tech advantages the UNSC have is sustainability and the EMP suit. However, these two crucial edges are wiped away by the more professional and well-trained UNSC troops that are using firepower that doesn't need to be sustained. One or two shots from their grenade launcher, or Anti-Material rifle, and I can see even the EMP suit going down in flames.

Quality wins over quantity in this match. My vote is for the ''' UNSC. '''
