In the RRG it states:
"If a trooper unit has one or more suppression tokens
assigned to it, that unit improves its cover by one when
defending against ranged attacks."
Does this mean out in the open, where they would not normally gain a cover bonus, a unit that is Suppressed has Light Cover?
Thanks in advance.
That’s how I take it. One thing I’d like clarified is, does cover top out at 2 or does it continue to stack? If I’m behind heavy cover and have a suppression token do I get cover 3?
It caps at "heavy cover", or 2 in other words.
See page 22 for reference.
Will a unit with low profile and 1 suppression token get cover two in the open?

I'm on page 22, I see no references to cover or Suppression.
@Xiervak Are you in the RRG or LTP?
Here is the text I'm referring to:
Various game effects, such as suppression tokens and the
cover keyword, can improve a unit’s cover by one or more.
»» When a unit that does not have cover improves its cover
by one, it is treated as having light cover.
»» When a unit that does not have cover improves its cover
by two or more, it is treated as having heavy cover.
»» When a unit that has light cover improves its cover by
one or more, it is treated as having heavy cover.
»» If a unit has heavy cover, that unit does not gain any
benefit from improving its cover.

Also under Sharpshooter in the RRG pg 40 it gives the following example:
During the “Apply Dodge and Cover” step of an attack, a unit
with the sharpshooter x keyword subtracts x from the
defender’s cover.
• When determining cover, add cover values (not exceeding
heavy cover), before subtracting cover values.
For example, a unit with heavy cover and a suppression
token that is attacked by a unit with sharpshooter 1 has
light cover.

This has been extremely educational. Thank you all for the quick and concise responses!
