Stats
While he is slightly slower than most in the game, Steelkreeg is good in both close combat and with his deadly firepak! It is his Resist of 5 which is most striking, this makes inflicting any level of damage upon him incredibly difficult while he closes in on enemies to unleash the devastating firepak upon them!
Skills & Special Abilities
Analytical: A cool ability which deprives the opposition of a Chicanery Card, very nasty indeed!
Emergency Protocols: If it wasn't already hard enough to destroy Steelkreeg, this ability provides him to the ability to remove all injury markers sustained when he uses Hunker Down.Tactics for Playing Steelkreeg
Steelkreeg is like the Terminator, he can't be reasoned with, he can't be bargained with, and he will not stop ever, until the opposition are dead! You can afford to take on your opponents head on and Hunker Down when you start taking damage. Your opponent will be demoralised as the injury markers drop off, potentially back to full strength. The firepak is absolutely lethal - it ignores cover, inflicts full power injuries on multiple enemies at once with its 3" burst radius, on top of which it can drive opponents away from the blast - and still inflicts an additional stun on top of all that! Be mindful that you can only fire it using the Aimed Fire double action so try to have him behind some cover but with a good view of approaching enemies; as soon as you have to Move him, the Firepak cannot be operated until the next activation. Steelkreeg is a great add also if you already have Max Bubba or Kansyr leading your force; it means you would start the game with 4 Chicanery Cards against the opponent's 2! That's a fantastic advantage and potential game-changer!
One major caveat: Steelkreeg has no Evade which makes him extremely vulnerable to T-Weapons. Remember when a burst radius weapon is employed that the target always gets +1 to Evade but that still only gives him a 16.67% chance of escape!

Overall
Steelkreeg is nasty! A no-brainer for you to include in your gang of outlaws - but beware his Achilles Heel!
