Skippy

Skippy is an variant of the Arasaka HJKE-11 Yukimura in.

Overview
A weapon that's easy to fall in love with, but difficult to trust. "It" speaks to the user using its unique weapon AI. Regina Jones won Skippy in a poker game from a techie called "Danish." It was later stolen from her and eventually ended up lying next to a corpse in a back alley.

When picking it up, you are asked to choose between one of two fire modes:


 * Puppy-Loving Pacifist (Limbs Only Mode)
 * Stone Cold Killer (Headshot Only Mode)

After 50 kills and a few (around five) days have passed, Skippy will initiate a dialogue and permanently switch to "Puppy-Loving Pacifist" if the Player selected "Stone Cold Killer" when finding Skippy. If the Player selected "Puppy-Loving Pacifist" instead, Skippy will keep his current fire mode if "Killing is wrong" is chosen, or change to "Stone Cold Killer" if "I don't know" or "I'm not having a conversation with my gun" is chosen.

Skippy can sometimes make decisions on his own. Some of the random actions he performs can be:


 * Firing at enemies without user input (especially from stealth).
 * Firing when switching to aim-down-sight outside of combat.
 * Making all projectiles miss enemies for the rest of the combat encounter.

Later on (can be about eight in-game days after Skippy automatically switches/locks its firing mode), Skippy will ask to be returned to Regina Jones, starting the side job Machine Gun.

Some time after completing Machine Gun, Regina will contact V asking them if they want Skippy back, albeit without the AI, as she sold it back to the previous owner.

Acquisition

 * Skippy can be found next to a body in an alley in Vista del Rey, Heywood.
 * If returned, Skippy can be reacquired from Regina's place after receiving a text message from her.

Trivia

 * The song that Skippy's AI often hums is Disturbia by Rihanna.
 * Skippy's AI appearance is a reference to Skippy from Craig Alanson's Expeditionary Force series.

Changelog

 * Patch 2.0 - Skippy can now be re-obtained, although without the AI. Can no longer have mod slots.
 * Patch 1.5 - Had its unique effect removed.
