Heavy Bolter

When you roll Extra Damage Dice for a Brutal weapon:

• Results of 1 and 2 inflict 0 Damage.
• Results of 3 and 4 inflict 1 Damage.
• Results of 5 and 6 inflict 2 Damage.

Large and cumbersome weapons are difficult to fire accurately.

You must have a Strength equal to the Heavy weapon’s rating to fire it normally. All attacks with a Heavy weapon are made with a +2 DN penalty if you do not meet the minimum Strength, and a Complication knocks you Prone in addition to any other effects.

Taking the Brace (p.189) Action or securing a Heavy weapon to something like a tripod negates the Heavy Trait.

These weapons are capable of quickly unleashing a hail of death at close range.

If you hit with a Rapid Fire weapon at Short Range, you gain Extra Damage Dice equal to the weapon’s Rapid Fire rating
