i assume gunner is pointless on the outrider and that the 'remove secondary weapon upgrade' critical leaves it unable to attack with a cannon

I'd say yes to both.

The Outrider title doesn't convert the secondary weapon into a primary, just lets you use it to fire outside your arc. For the same reason the Munitions Failure is going to be nasty.

RAW Munitions Failure would leave the Outrider unable to fire period. Since you have to discard the secondary weapon, but still have a title that says you can't preform any attacks with your primary.

But I think that may be subject to a errata/FAQ or something. Seems kind of harsh if a single crit completely cripples the ship.

1) gunner would be pointless qas you cannot do a primary weapon attack.

2) if you discard the cannon from a face up damage card effect, the outrider title is no longer in play as you have to have the secondary weapon equipped for it to apply.

I am at work so I can't double check the wording of the card yet. I may change my answer when I get home.

Outrider:

While you have a {Cannon} upgrade equipped, you cannot perform primary weapon attacks.

If you discard the cannon due to a crit, you can make primary attacks again.

If you discard the cannon due to a crit, you can make primary attacks again.

You're right. I don't have wave 5 yet so I haven't paid a ton of attention to the cards, then apparently missread it on Voidstate.

So did I, the first time I read it. That's why I was willing to make a stab at it with no reference backup
