Jabba + Dead Man Switch

By emeraldbeacon, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Ok, this one is going to sound weird, and I don't think it would work, but... if I have Jabba in my squad, and somebody with a Dead Man's Switch, would it go off twice, dealing 2 damage at range 1? Or would I need a Lancer with two DMS, to get the double-boom?

Jabba's tokens only matter if the Illicit in question is getting discarded, which DMS is not. So it won't work with Jabba, however putting 2 DMS on a Lancer will work.

The only interaction between Jabba and Dead Man's Switch I can think of would be if, say, someone with Boba Fett crew attempted to force you to discard your DMS. As @Innese says, if you want two bombs, you need two switches on a Lancer.
