With these creatures, we've gone way past realism. This higher intelligence that created them is an entity known as the Fracture. It is a malicious sentient energy with godlike power that resides in its very own reality and sustains itself on the negative emotion of sentient beings. The Fracture is unfortunately trapped within its reality and has to create creatures to do its bidding. It is able to create lifeforms by condensing its energy in a special way and is able to spit these creatures into other realities to cause chaos and mayhem through small pathways that only form in areas with an abundance of powerful negative emotion, like as an example, the site of a genocide. These creatures, I call Fractals are unfortunately limited as they have to feed off the Fracture's energies to stay alive and thus can't stray very far from the Fracture's pathways. The Riggers are a unique strain of Fractal. They do not need to constantly feed off the Fracture's energies allowing them to exist independently of their creator, allowing them to do its bidding without interruption. The Fracture made sure to predispose them to be violent and sadistic, engraving this onto the very energy they were created with along with their profound knowledge of technology. They never stopped serving the Fracture, but they're still independent of it. That is the more in depth description of the Riggers' origins.

Sniper rifles are really hard to deal with I've found. They really either really work or they really don't, even when you make them powerful. My Sniper is damn powerful, yet it still sometimes tends to not pass all the way through a standard's head, which results in no damage. So it just hits with a thud. The annoying thing is that if you try to make a sniper explosively powerful by having it fire multiple shots at once, (very accurately so it seems like one) either all shots go through, or none of them do. Apparently the penetration is calculated all at once for ever bullet/slug in a group of things fired at once, instead of individually for each one. So multiple shots doesn't actually increase the chances of something going through to do at least some damage. It's bad for shotguns, too, since if one piece of shot gets stopped, they all do, even if they land in different places on the same body part. As for different body parts, I don't really know.

That's actually more like Surgeons. They're the only ones have cybernetics grafted willingly, except of course the High Tinkerer. I'm thinking perhaps one day, instead of a brain there'd be a High Tinkerer.
