Editing Archeotek (section)

==Crunch==
On Necromunda, as they are on the Battlefield, Archeoteks are considered as champions rather than the leaders they actually are in the fluff during peacetime. This specialist gains +1A over the [[Augmek]], but isn’t particularly suited to mix it up in melee compared to the leaders and champions from rival gangs. His unique weapon options are the Rad Beamer, a special weapon that is considered [[EPIC FAIL|dogshit ''at best'']], and the Spider Rig, a pretty good, if expensive, melee weapon.

The Archaeotek is in an awkward place because with the stats, skills and gear available to him (he can pick freely from all Trading Post weapons) he’s best suited to carrying powerful ranged weapons, something the Augmek already does perfectly. Archaeoteks do start with one free Cyberteknika upgrade, and can purchase further Cyberteknika at half price. Therefore it is best to only choose an Archaeotek over an Augmek if there was some particular bit of Cyberteknika you wanted to incorporate into a build. What seems to be the intended use – a shooting champion with some melee punch to use as a counter-charger – isn’t a bad use of credits, but it’s not that great either. '''Tech''' skills are hot garbage, so avoid them, but Savant '''skills''' are excellent. Putting '''Munitioneer''' on a counter-charging Archaeotek is far from a bad idea, as they’ll be in the thick of it often enough.
