Is it legal to use these two in conjunction? The cards seem to read like it is, but with hotshot blaster being an illicit I wasn't sure. Any insight would be helpful. Thanks.

Hot shot Blaster has the "Attack:" header, so it is a secondary weapon, thus munition failsafe applies.

Did not think of that, thank you. However, does illicit upgrade affect this at all?

No. Secondary weapons are defined without respect to upgrade slots.

As others have said, we have missile and torpedo upgrades that aren't secondary weapons (Chardaan Refit and Bomb Upgrade, soon to be joined by Extra Munitions), and although Hot Shot Blaster is the first secondary weapon that isn't a cannon, missile, or bomb, there's no problem defining it that way.

FAQ page 13. "HOT SHOT" Blaster is a Secondary weapon.

The look on your opponents face when your scum z95 with hotshot and munitions failsafe misses with the hotshot on the flyby

If you have the points to spend, it's a nice little upgrade. Main targets for the Blaster are arc dodgers, who tend to be.. dodgy. So while you may fail to hit a few times, at least you'll have another go. Gotta love effects like that: either you hit the opponent (yay!) or you get to use your mini-turret again (yay!).

Yeah I'm currently runnign a list with Scum Boba where he has Hotshot and Munitions. Basically makes him 360 arc for a few turns.

Failsafe works with Hotshot, but Extra munitions doesn't.

Just so you know.

That's what I meant by munitions, just left off the failsafe lol like I left off 'blaster'
