====== Hardpoints ======
[[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:Hardpoints]] are how <wrap preview>[[:Items:Mods]]</wrap>, <wrap preview>[[:Cyberware]]</wrap> and [Components] can be installed on <wrap preview>[[:Items]]</wrap>, <wrap preview>[[:Character|Characters]]</wrap> and [Vehicles] respectively.\\
\\
<wrap preview>[[:Items]]</wrap>, <wrap preview>[[:Character|Characters]]</wrap> and [Vehicles] each have an amount of [[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:Hardpoints]] that can be spent on the [[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:Hardpoint Tax]] of <wrap preview>[[:Items:Mods]]</wrap>, <wrap preview>[[:Cyberware]]</wrap> and [Components].\\
\\
[[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:Hardpoints]] for each are gained in the following ways:

  * **<wrap preview>[[:Items]]</wrap>**: <wrap preview>[[:Items]]</wrap> have an inherent amount of [[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:Hardpoints]] unique to each <wrap preview>[[:Items|Item]]</wrap> . Some <wrap preview>[[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:Ability|Abilities]]</wrap> granted by [Masteries] such as [Mechanics] and [Industrial] can grant extra <wrap preview>[[:Items|Item]]</wrap> [[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:Hardpoints]].
  * **<wrap preview>[[:Character|Characters]]</wrap>**: <wrap preview>[[:Character|Characters]]</wrap> have [[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:Hardpoints]] equal to their combined <wrap preview>[[:Stats:Brawn]]</wrap> and <wrap preview>[[:Stats:Panache]]</wrap>. Some <wrap preview>[[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:Ability|Abilities]]</wrap> such as those from <wrap preview>[[:Jobs:Chromer]]</wrap> can grant extra <wrap preview>[[:Character]]</wrap> [[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:Hardpoints]].
  * **[Vehicles]**: [Vehicles] have no inherent [[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:Hardpoints]] and instead gain the bulk of their [[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:Hardpoints]] from [Compartment] [Components] and some [Auxilliary] [Components].
