We have no way of knowing if Triton would have allowed us to get the noble discreetly taken care of, what the Matriarchs would have done, and it might have been boring fighting two swarm battles back to back.

This is an Astartes-made flesh arm, there's no guarantee on that 'harder to break' part.
I still think an arm that could potentially become a relic would be the best option.
Not just an arm, but our chest and shoulder as well. The flesh does not require timely and repetitive maintenance and rituals to maintain. I like the idea of us upgrading our flesh with stronger flesh. Think of all the firm handshakes and feats of strength we could accomplish. We also are primarily a ranged fighter and should not be in close quarters to begin with. This upgrade can even help us shoot better by keeping our aim steady.

Oh definitely, what happened for us on Proteus on a personal level was the best thing that could happen, we achieved all of our objectives and it would have been much harder to hide the fact we were trying to kill the guy on triton since the odds would have been more in our favor, since at least we know the stats of our enemies, but in terms of comparing the different deployment on overall battles while we thought the AI world was gonna be the toughest fight for the Imperium, Proteus was a nightmare made flesh.
Next time deployment options are presented before us we should pick fights where we expect the Imperium to win especially since with the death of our commanding officer and our valiant defence it is likely we will get promoted and get even more sections under our control.
The second arm has tech that's inferior to our full suit of void armor, but notably we won't have to be wearing our full suit of armor to make use of it. That plus the concealed hold-out weapon it's likely to be quite helpful if we keep diving headfirst into Imperial politics where we can't exactly get away with going around in full kit to feasts and balls, or even if we don't and politics comes at us anyway, what with the kind of favor we just did for the Legate Marshal. I'm kind of liking that option right now for that.
Also the throwaway line about it being "important to the previous owner" lmao, did this get nabbed from someone by the Revenants, or just off a body?

I think all these options were taken from the dead by the legion or came from the apothecary directly.

I was already inclined to send our poor, poor troops into the worst deployments, if only so we can see the deepest depths of horror the Great Crusade will present us. Seeing normal people facing off against these eldritch monstrosities and horrors is just the best, in my eyes. Probably my favorite chapter because of it.
On another note, are there further ranks above veteran when it comes to veterancy buffs @Mayto ?

I guessed all of these would come from the Revenant Legion in some way after the Sergeant grabbed us at the end of the update, I was just laughing because stealing a prosthetic off a corpse to give us would be such a them thing to do.

Nothing says it is, so I wouldn't get my hopes up, unless you like getting disappointed.
First option seems the most reasonable. Also, with new "Astartes tier" part of body we could start using some fancy power mace or smth.
Not thinking big enough. I doubt few if any in the solar auxiliary will have access to an apothecary willing to do designer biosculpts on the sly. Note how the hand is cloned but not the rest.

This seems to be reaching a bit too far.
The limb is nothing more then paying back a favor.
Don't overhype simple choice, that road only leads to dissapointment.

So, basically. That limb is grown from astartes-sourced flesh, but it will lack any of the bone and the extreme muscle enhancements caused by Astartes enhancement. It is just a VERY healthy, reliable, and with one hell of a grip, with your body changed enough that the arm won't rip your muscles from your shoulders.
I wonder if we pick the bioaugment could that potentially butterfly to whatever planet we get later have a tendency for gene mods over the more common cybernetics by the time 40k rolls around.
Thanks for the info and the added spoiler. My choice remains the same as high quality gene sculpted flesh is much harder to come by in present 30k than mechanical replacements. I don't even know if the genators or biologists of the mechanicum are a thing yet.

Yeah I'm picking the chaindagger cyberarm. I've seen people argue that optimally we don't want to be in melee, but like... gestures at our two fights so far. Plus, I feel like it's an interesting aesthetic choice, having picked up behavior from the Revenant Legion in caring more about ability than appearances, and being prepared for any and all engagements to devolve into clusterfucks at any given moment, because... gestures again.
Also, yes, it's stated he'll need to adapt his void suit to make use of the cyberarm, but it will almost certainly not be something that actually takes an action. It's modifying the arm of one dude's suit, it's not that complex.

The first option is 'subtle', which is very nice if there are going to be social turns/counter-ambush. And this also (probably?) will show deeper connection with the Revenants. Also, we can surprise assailants with the 'my other arm is stronger' thingy.
The second is also good as a hold-out weapon (not sure how strong the one-shot is), also tactical map(?) and data recording. This will be useful if for some reason a certain person of note that wanted us to 'take care' of someone decided to get rid of us or the likes. Also useful for blackmail gathering materials though it's not really subtle especially if others will eventually know of its function if they haven't already. The other social option, without the subtlety, but the more cloak-and-dagger as a result if no other individuals are none the wiser of said option's capabilities. I'm worried about the 'previous owner' mention though...
The third option... I think probably gives whatever Section the MC is in a Melee attack in the form of himself? Feels like further connection with the Mechanicus(?) though. Maybe? Having a chainblade though... I wonder if the MC will be able to deal with Heavy Armour somewhat? (Or does his Volkite pistol already deal with that?). A difference of void uniform/armour design is also of particular note and will be eyecatching for sure to both ally and enemy alike. Also, having a chainblade in person means we can probably take some other drastic options in the field or out of it. Want to break into something? This is your answer if you don't mind loud noises, especially if going past a door or the likes.
...in summary though, I'm leaning to the second option, though I'm not gonna lie that the first option also interests me further due to being more connected to the Revenants. The third is a brute force thingy which is also good in certain scenarios. Just my hunch though.
Lore wise a Blast Pistol has as around as much stopping power as a Volkite, it just doesn't burn as much.

It seems to be akin of organisms parasitizing existing mechanisms and filling in the blanks with their own mass and nervous systems to form biomechs, akin to the Mgalekgolo of Halo. The metallic elements provide a foundation, they provide the animus and holding the entity together.
After pondering about it, will likely vote for 1 too for the Revenant connection. Also because it kinda makes sense since our character's brother has been recruited as a Space Marine so it makes sense for the rest of the family to be more attuned to such things!
...thinking about it, he's not the brother in question right...?

Our bro went to the 3rd, the Emperor's Children. It's highly unlikely he's the 9th 'Revenant Legion's Sergeant Khorban. Or the dead marine whose arm was recycled for this.After pondering about it, will likely vote for 1 too for the Revenant connection.
