RZ-2 A-Wing and Snap Shot.

By Mikael79, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Can an RZ-2 use Snap Shot?

Yes. Snap Shot is treated by the rules as its own special attack just like cannons or missiles.

For clarity's sake: Snap Shot is a front arc weapon; it doesn't care where your turret arc is pointed. You can use Snap Shot against someone who is in your front arc even if your turret arc is pointed elsewhere. You cannot use Snap Shot against enemies in your rear arc, even if your turret is facing that way.

Yup. It's a lot like a cannon, or missile... it just fills a different slot on your ship.

Also note:

Attack : Your dice cannot be modified.

Applies to both attacks made with the Snap Shot weapon. So even if you use it during engagement, you cannot modify the dice.

And finally, as we're talking about RZ-2 A wings, snap shot works with these other talents:

Juke

Trick shot

Outmaneuver

Intimidation(from a different ship, ofc)
