The Outrider Card with Gunner

By devotedknight, in X-Wing

How does the Outrider Card work with the Gunner card.

Outrider- While you have a (Cannon) Upgrade card equipped, you cannot perform primary weapon attacks and you may perform secondary weapon attacks against ships outside your firing arc.

Gunner - After you perform an attack that does not hit, you may immediately perform a primary weapon attack. You cannot perform another attack this round

It has no effect. Gunner triggers, but you're unable to perform the attack (due to the restrictions of Outrider). It would only work if you had to discard the secondary weapon, such as from a crit.

It doesn't

You just wasted 5 pts and your crew slot.

poorly

It only does anything after you pull the Munitions Failure crit.

Really, how much do you miss with a HLC anyway.

No loopholes here, Gunner/Luke does not work with Outrider. This has been asked since the Wave 5 reveal and has been answered. Still I find it a common mistake on outrider.

Yes gunner is powerful. Put it on Decimators, put it on Falcons but don't put it on Outrider title YT-2400. Gunner can be worked around though, if you have focus or evades use it to cancel all but one thus gunner will not trigger.

You'd be surprised. Dice are fickle and I missed a 5 red dice attack with rerolls for 2 blanks. Missing with HLC is very common, especially with the Autothrusters, free evades, sensor jammers, and other 4 defense dice rolling ship builds.
