Secondary weapons clarification dice rolls

By Drell75, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Hi All,

I wanted to get a clarification if secondary weapons benefit from an extra attack at range 1 and if a defender would benefit from an extra evade die at range.

I looked at the rules, but I didn't see this does or does not apply.

Thanks in advance.

Page 10 of the rule book:

Range Combat Bonuses

"Range combat bonuses only occur when a ship is attacking with its primary weapon"

Secondary weapons do NOT get the bonus attack die at R1 nor do targets get a bonus ability die at R3.
