In an effort to cheese out a high-powered game, we've allowed the race builder from SW Deluxe. One of the characters is a 4-armed gunslinger. We're trying to figure out the penalties to shooting 4 guns in a round.
How does ambidextrous affect attacking with more than 2 arms? Does it eliminate the off-hand penalty for all the arms, just one, or something different?
It's very much going to depend on the setting, but in general, Ambidextrous reduces the penalty for "the off-hand" singular, not multiple.
But ultimately if the setting has a race with multiple limbs, then it needs to adapt for how they work. Saurians for instance have a tail they can use as a natural weapon, but can't be used for any other sort of action, so off-hand doesn't apply to it.
If the goal here is just to "cheese out" a game, then maybe the GM will allow Ambidextrous to remove the penalty with all the limbs.

Does Two Fisted eliminate the multi-action penalty for all the attacks?
It doesn't have to. The Multiple Limbs racial ability from SW Deluxe specifically states the extra action "incurs no multi-action penalty."
So, the character only needs Two Fisted to remove the penalty for using the two "original" arms simultaneously.
Hope that helps.
