Making attacks at range 1 with secondary weapons

By player1835022, in X-Wing Rules Questions

I was curious if I make an attack with a secondary weapon from range one do I get a bonus die to my damage roll? It does not say anywhere in the rule book you do not - id like some official clarification because in the rule book it says you do get it for primary weapons but is it meaning ONLY primary or etc…? Thanks!

You answered your own question.

The rulebook specifically says that you get 1 bonus attack dice when you attack with your primary weapons at range 1. Therefore, no bonus dice for secondary weapons (also no bonus for them at range 3 if you use secondary weapons.)

whoa so wait if Im shooting at someone range 3 with a cluster missle they dont get a +1 Green Defense dice? - if so we did that wrong today lol

Correct. You did it wrong today.

You can't shoot Cluster Missiles at Range 3 anyway. They are Range 1-2 only.

That was more just a hypathetcial - basically range 3 special weapon ETC - I know you cant shoot it at that far -

Secondary weapons of any kind (ion, missile, torpedo, heavy laser, etc.) do NOT get any range bonuses, for attacker or defender, at any time.

BUT, you will get an extra defense die for attacking with a secondary weapon through an obstacle. Also the answer to the OP question is the very last sentence on page 10.
