• Vibroblade. Cuts through many materials, including most common plastoid-based armor.
• Electro-Mag Pulse Disruptor. Causes circuit overload in contact with computer or droid-based systems.
• Shield Disruptor. Ion field can disrupt ray shielding, granting access to some shielded computer ports or door locks.

• Things which deflect vibroblades, such as spider-silk armor, deflect this one as well.
• Don't Bring A Vibroblade To A Blaster Fight. This is simple melee.
• You Call That A Knife? This is a shiv, not a machete.
• It's Personal. Electro-Mag Disruptor requires contact with the target computer or droid to have any effect.
• Shield Disruptor won't bring down the shields of a ship or vehicle, but it might be enough to create an opening enough to access a computer port.

A common sidearm to accompany the CryptLink "burner coms" carried by the shadowrunners of the terrorist organization known as Darkwire, the Netrunner was a vibroshiv that used an ion-field generator in lieu of the tradition ultrasonic generator. The resulting vibroblade produced an electromagnetic field that was disruptive to computer-based systems, including droids and ray shield generators. It was designed with that purpose in mind, giving Darkwire's slicers and operatives access to shielded computer ports and locks for their scomp-spikes and other tools to then be able to physically access.

Constructed of recycled durasteel, with basic polycarbonate handles, this vibroblade was one of the most commonly produced and traded artifacts of Darkwire's resistance and wound up on the black market through the organizations contacts in the the G'uotr Network.
