secondary weapons and an extra attack

By danikstarik, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Do I get an extra attack if I am in range 1 and shooting with a secondary weapon (ion cannon turret)?

If I am launching cluster missiles at range 1 do I roll an extra die each time? (card says perform this attack twice)

No, no secondary weapons are effected by range dice, you do not get extra attack at range 1 and you do not get the extra agility at Range 3. This goes for all Secondaries. However I do believe you still get the extra agility if you are shooting through an obstacle.

KovuTalli is correct on all counts. Secondary weapons are not affected by range modifications (no extra attack dice at range 1, no extra defense dice at range 3). Firing through an obstacle with a secondary weapon will still grant the defender an extra defense die.

Quite so.

Range-based bonuses are only afforded by Primary Weapons. Obstruction-based bonuses are universal.

Worth noting is that it doesn't matter how many obstacles you shoot through, you only get the obstruction bonus once.

Thank you very much
