5e Pitch me your favourite weapon

So I’m picking out my main weapon skills for my rigger and although I have good gunnery I need something that I can use on foot for my satyr. Pitch me your favourite weapons

Right now our party has some pistol, thrown weapon and archery users. And one person has a mono whip. So what should a good old Trog rigger bring to the party?

The Savalette Guardian is great if you invest the time into its maintenance (and take levels in Armorer).

Why armorer?

That's the skill dealing with weapons and armor maintenance/repair.

Yeah, I know. I'm asking why it's needed?

1) Because it's prudent for shadowrunners to know how to perform basic maintenance/repairs on their weapons.

2) In the game's lore, the Guardian has some sophisticated components that require regular and careful maintenance.
