Outrider and Snap Shot.

By Onslaught8403, in X-Wing Rules Questions

I put in a rules question. But I've not had a lot of luck getting answers in recent weeks.

Me either. I've got like 3 Hot Shot Co-Pilot questions that were submitted the day that HoTR dropped that are still pending answers.

Frank is on point today:

Rules Question:

A YT2400 is equipped with Snap Shot, the Outrider title, and a Heavy Laser Cannon. During the combat phase, an enemy ship is at range 1 in arc of the Outrider. Can the Outrider use Snap Shot to shoot the enemy ship in this situation? Thanks.

Yes, Snap Shot is a secondary weapon that you can use during the Combat phase.
Thanks for playing,

E: whether it's worth doing is still very much a question though. Dash <3 his EPT, whatever it may be, and is, I suspect, almost always better at staying out of donut holes and using his EPT than using his EPT to cover a tiny bit of his donut hole.

Got the same answer

Rules Question:

Can Snap Shot be used like other Secondary Weapons when a ship activates in the Combat Phase? Thanks for you help.

Yes, but only under rare circumstance would this be a better idea than just using your primary weapon attack though.

I think it has to do with the type of question being asked. I seem to remember him making a statement that he was only going to answer questions that had clear answers and nothing that required him making a ruling.

Yeah these kind of question are "easy" and do not need faq or meeting with other designer.

But you may want to field some cheap leebo or something - then PtL is not such an autoinclude.
