Raye's Review:  The Excavator suffers an additional +3 to the difficulty number penalty at long range. It uses powerpacks limited to 50 charges. The energy system taxes parts so heavily that constant maintenance is necessary. (In game terms: each bombout creates a 3 in 6 chance that the rifle will break down.) The powerpacks are non-standard and cost approximately 250 credits each. The repair and powerpack cost has made the Excavator prohibitively expensive for most organizations. The weapon also has a 5 second warm up delay. Keeping the rifle activated drains the batteries and emits a soft, high-pitched tone which can cause difficulty for those trying to be stealthy.  This weapon has many drawbacks, but is popular for those looking for good, close-range punch in short duration conflicts.
