Equipment
Gear
Gear is what makes you faster, higher, and harder to catch. Strap it on, kick off, and let the city become your playground. Swap between gear types whenever it makes sense - you're not locked in.
As a rule of thumb, Gear lets you Grind on any surface: rails, ledges, rooftops, vehicles, even Talos machinery if you're bold enough.
Gear functions as Rides using the Outgunned chase rules. All Gear counts as the Bike type and uses Stunt instead of Drive for chase rolls. Every Hero starts with one piece of Gear for free.
| Gear | Speed | Armor | Style |
|---|---|---|---|
| BMX | 2 | 2 | Raw power on two wheels. Perfect for big jumps, rooftop gaps, and ploughing through crowds at terrifying speed. |
| Rollerblades | 3 | 1 | Smooth, fast, and agile. Rail grinds, tight turns, and weaving through traffic like it's nothing. Fastest Gear on flat ground. |
| Skateboard | 2 | 2 | The classic. Kickflips off skyscraper ledges, manuals across rooftop gardens, and the satisfying clatter of wheels on concrete. Can double as a melee weapon with the Kickflip to the Face Feat. |
| Scooter | 1 | 3 | Don't laugh. A scooter in the right hands is a whip-fast, ankle-height menace that can thread gaps nothing else can. Toughest Gear in the lineup. |
If all Armor boxes are gone and Gear takes another hit, it's wrecked. A Hero with the Mechanic or Fix-It Feat can patch it up during a Time-Out.
Weapons
Crews don't use bullets. The Talos have ammo, rockets, explosives, the full arsenal. Your crew? You've got graffiti.
Graffiti uses the standard Outgunned combat and mag rules, reflavoured as paint pressure. When a mag empties, your can sputters dry. Reload (Quick Action) means shaking up a fresh one. Mags empty the same ways: failure, going full auto, covering fire, or bad luck.

Weapons follow Outgunned Cash pricing: base 1$ + Rare +1$ + Custom +1$ + Dangerous +1$ + Illegal +1$. Anything over 3$ can't be bought - the Crew has to earn it through a side-mission or find it in the field.
Weapon Notes
- Dual Cans: Two spray cans, one in each hand. Twice the output, twice the mess. Fast, chaotic, and visually spectacular. Burns through paint fast.
- Marker: A precision paint pen with a pressurised reservoir. Near-silent, perfect for stealth tags and quiet takedowns. The weapon of choice for ghosts.
- Paint Roller: A telescopic roller loaded with pressurised paint. Melee only, but dead silent and hits like a baseball bat dipped in neon. Leaves a perfect stripe on everything it touches.
- Pressurised Charge: A heavy-duty paint canister with a rifled nozzle and a shoulder strap. Fires a focused stream at medium range with serious accuracy. Takes a second to aim, but when it hits, the target is wearing your colour from head to toe. The Spotter's weapon of choice.
- Splatter Gun: A modified fire extinguisher loaded with industrial paint. Close range beast. One trigger pull covers everything in a three-metre cone. Takes forever to reload, but nobody's standing when you're done.
- Sticker Bombs (3): Adhesive paint charges the size of a fist. Throw them, they stick, they burst. Three per pack, each one-use. Silent on impact, loud in colour.
Items
Not everything the Crew carries is a weapon. Items provide Help (+1 to specific rolls) or utility. Heroes get starting items from their Role and can buy more with Cash during Time-Outs.
| Item | Cost | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Burner Phone | 1$ | Disposable, untraceable. Contact the Underground Radio, make anonymous tips, coordinate across sectors. Toss it when Talos gets close. |
| Crowbar | 1$ | Breaks locks, pries open doors, bends things that shouldn't bend. +1 to Force rolls for breaking or prying. Doubles as a melee weapon in a pinch (0 at Melee, X everywhere else). |
| First Aid Kit | 1$ | Bandages, antiseptic, painkillers. +1 to Heal rolls. Can remove the Hurt Condition during a Time-Out without using an action, once per Shot. |

Tagging
Graffiti isn't just for fighting. Tag walls, machinery, vehicles, and landmarks to spread your Crew's name and build reputation across the sectors.
Tagging in hostile territory is a Crime+Style roll. Difficulty depends on how bold the location is: a back alley is Basic, a busy street is Critical, and a Talos precinct wall is Extreme. Heroes with the Living Mural Feat can turn a tag into a local landmark on an Extreme success, earning extra reputation for the sector.
