Mount a boom gun on it, since it's possible, and use converted rail gun rounds.

http://www.kitsune.addr.com/Rifts/Rifts ... Rounds.htm Here is the only source I know of for them.

A silver plated vibro-knife and a NGR borg rail gun used as a rifle with wooden ammo is the easiest conversion.

Or you could mount a super soaker to a large water tank on the back.

What kind of boom gun? A standard GB boom gun! It fires railgun type rounds. See the Glitter Girl armor description. You can have a Glitter Girl with a standard Boom Gun. And let me tell you, 90 MPH + Boom Gun hurts. A lot.

That kind of mobility along with a Boom Gun makes many people scream.

The glitter boys in the description of Demon Busters in the book Mercenaries has stats for wooden boom gun rounds.

good for spreading a vamp across a few states or offing intelligences from a safe distance.

In our game our Glitter girl uses two K-9 robot dog companions for new west with plated silver teeth and duel ion blasters. In south America 2 theres a glitter boy made for girls call glitter boy 7 and instead of a boomgun it comes with a high powered laser, a large gatling gun and another small laser system, plus does not need the pylon system to fire its weapons. The gatling gun deals 3D6X10 M.D., but could be great for using alternative ammo such as U-rounds, silver and wooden rounds. Search lights with a cross in front of it also hurts vampires and the Naruni Ripper Vibro-Sword from Naruni Second Wave 2 deals 3D6 M.D. and is silver-coated.

Just get some silver or wood rounds for the GGs usual main gun.

The main gun does 2d6MDC, or 2d6x100sdc with a silver round means a vampire would take 4d6x100hp damage? Wheeeeee, gooey splatters!

Still wouldn't kill it, though.

Silver shrapnel would have a greater chance of killing, I'd think...

Uh, every time my players fight vampires, it turns into a colossal globe of daylight/watergun mowdown. It's not all that fearsome until you put them in deadboy armor and give them things like PA. Then it becomes screamy.

Here's something I'd like to run by everyone...

High-powered flashlights aimed at the GG that is covered with taped on/painted on crosses.

considering the disco-ball effect that would happen...you have a anti-vampire death blossom.

The image of the cross would not be maintained in the "disco ball effect". So really you would have a lot of dead PC's.....

I didn't mean it literally, but it was the closest thing I could think of beside the death-blossom for the possible 360 coverage the chromium armor with Cross appliques would provide.

Like I said...it was just a thought.

vampire's can't die from Silver, period, it only hurts them.

Could have sworn silver lodged in the heart would do the trick on them...

Vampires don't die from having it lodged in their heart, they are only placed into a Coma and will be fully revived 15 seconds after it's removed.

Well, if you want to nit-pick, chop off their heads and all of that crap while they're in the coma...

Still have to burn it too.

I'm not nitpicking--if you don't they WILL be back to haunt you

A comatose vampire is a very important step on the way to a dead vampire, though.

Unless you leave them in the sun, whilst they're in their coma.
I floored a gm with that one... we staked or otherwise incapacitated about 20 vampires outside one time, and he had us being attacked by the same ones the next night... I asked if vampires were immune to the sun while incapacitated, and after he got over his momentary shock, he fixed it with, "You wake up from your nightmare, and everything is fine."

And you assume you were fighting them in an open feild? You usually fight them indoors in my experiance, not to mention if you just leave them some other vampires will probablly come out to save them.

In my experience small arms with fragmenting hollow points designed to lodge in the body (either wood or silver) in small arms (pistols, assault rifles and sub machine guns) are the best way by far to take down a vampire. After you have gotten the undead beastie into negative hit points with your rifle you have a melee/primitive weapons trained guy run up and do the staking.

Rail guns simply over-penetrate leaving a regenerating vampire and almost never staking them. In addition they tend to be so large that fighting with them indoors is often awkward because of the length of most rail guns.

Yea, just look where small arms got t-rex.

Small Arms, Big @#$%ing teeth! Its feared and its buddies never ask it to help them move, the T-rex made out pretty good.

It was able bodied enough to support a joke, if your pun was handicapped, than at least it was handy-capable.

One of the things that I never really got was the whole projectile in the vampire thing. Won't it just turn to mist, let the stake, silver etc. fall out and then just reform and heal naturally? I would.

if it can concentrate sure, but lodging wood or silver causes extreme pain in the vampire. Also a burst from many assault rifles would do 2d6x10 hit points, so many vamps struck would be at negative hit points with a harmful substance lodged in their bodies possibly inhibiting regeneration.

With that lair, there weren't any vampires left to save them.
We destroyed the houses they'd been using for shelter, and drove off everyone from the town who served them.

The cost would be high for silver ammo, it much more inexpensive to use wood ammo since silver hurts vampires, but wood also hurts them and has a chance of impaling the heart and incapacitating them till its removed or the sun comes out and destroy them. Wood is just so much simpler to use and vampires are a way bigger threat & numerous in Rifts than Werebeasts. Cross search light deals great damage against vampires and thats really cheap ammo. The bounties on vampires is only 100 to 1000 in the south west, so you want to keep cost down since theres a good chance your equipment is going to take some heavy damage when hunting theses powerful predators.

Silver in the heart incapacitates vampires as well...
There is also no apprecaible difference between a lead/tin alloy bullet and a silver one.
Trust me, I reload enough to know. And I have made some silver bullets just for kicks.

Wait a minute, isn't the Glitter Girl's assault rifle a LASER assault rifle?

If so, damn, is there a mega damage assault shrapnel rifle or something that I could use?

The mini-missiles seem easy to convert but I really don't want to weigh my Glitter Girl's armor down with a full fledged Glitter Boy's boom gun. Isn't there something smaller than would work that's silver ammunition based and it would still do mega damage?

as far as bullets go silver bullets cost double.
