Orks

Orks are one of the metahuman races available at character creation in shadowrun.

Overview

Orks are much tougher, stronger and less charismatic; they also seem on average to be less acute, or intelligent, than humans. They too have low-light vision.

• In The Dead Man's Switch NPC Orks are easier to hit, due to their larger size. This phenomena can be observed in wave 2 of the first fight, an elf and ork appear and move into position side by side. The ork is much easier to hit, and the same can be observed throughout the game for Trolls as well. This may just be due to the fact NPCs of those races were given less dodge and quickness, but useful regardless.

Backer Reward Orks
