Infantry Team, Sniper

This model may deploy using the Reserve rules.

This model improves its Piloting Skill by 1 for Defense Rolls against Direct and Indirect attacks targeting the model if the model has adjacent and intervening cover. This modifier does not apply when the model is using an attack action or reaction, active sensors, an EW action, or making a Comms roll. This modifier does not apply if the model is attacked with a melee attack, or has no cover from the Observer of a Forward Observation (See 14.3). Sensor Lock against a model with the Stealth trait has a -6” modifier to the range of the Sensors.

Attacks targeting this model will miss on a Margin of Success of zero (MOS:0) or less. A Braced model loses the benefit of Agile.

This model may use its Jetpack to make a Powered Boost move instead of a normal Move. A Powered Boost move may only turn once at the start of the move and does not use any movement type advantages or disadvantages. The model may move forwards or backwards in a straight line with both a horizontal and vertical distance equal to the Jetpack trait rating and may not interrupt this move to use an action. Any terrain less than the vertical maximum of the jump rating is ignored and no dangerous terrain tests are made for terrain that the model power boosts over.

A Target with an Armor Rating higher than the Penetration Rating of the attack will suffer damage equal to the Margin of Success up to the rating of the trait, or normal damage, whichever is greater. Area Effect attacks with the AP trait only resolve the AP trait against primary targets. AP attacks can damage infantry, the AP trait itself has no effect on infantry models.

Hits with a margin of zero (MOS:0) ignore the Agile trait. Note: This weapon may be used to target very small models like Demo or Recon drones.

Attack actions with this weapon do not remove a Hiding token, or cause a model to lose its Stealth trait bonus to defense.

This weapon may only be fired if the model is Braced.
