In the rulebook, it states : "If he succeeds, he hits with his primary weapon as normal. He may also spend 2 advantages or 1 triumph to hit with his secondary weapon as well."
My question is : Can you spend 2 advantages to hit with his secondary weapon even if he did not get any success (so his primary weapon didn't hit) ???
Second question : If you have a triumph, since it also counts has a success, do you automatically hit with both weapons ??
Thanks a lot.
First question: No, if you miss, you miss.
Second question: Anything done with 2 Advantages can be done with 1 Triumph, so I would say "yes".
Conversely, let's say you roll 1 success, 2 failure, and 1 Triumph. This would leave you with just triumph, but no success. Having said that, it's a Triumph, so this might be where you hit with your off-hand or some-such, because TRIUMPH, yo,
I'd say miss, BUT it's a Triumph, yo! So lots of fun stuff can and will happen - the primary misses, but: you secondary weapon hits a weakened support beam and a whole big shelf of crates of bottles of booze and liquor crashes upon the hapless fool and his friendsw. No he's drenched in flammables and firing his backwater black powder slugthrower... GET THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER! or just let him burn.
Thanks for all the answers... that clears up a few things...
Good thing you need at least one success to have your off-hand hit... it would have been a little too overpowered if not...
Cheers !
One more for Two-Weapon Fighting:
It seems way to good to be true. I may be missing something, but the way I see it, there is almost no downside to fighting with two weapons.
- If you have to blaster pistols, one in each hand, the only downside is, that the difficulty will be upgraded by one.
Is that really true?
So, a character with Ag 4, and two ranks in ranged light/heavy firing medium range would have a dice pool of 2 prof, 2 ability, 1 diff, 1, challenge.
Succes means the primary weapon hits, 2 advantage or 1 triumph means second weapon hits.
If I am right, the penalty for using two weapons seems very minor. No excuse for not using two identical weapons.
I cannot double check - AFB - but I thought it was (based on beta) an increase in difficulty, i.e. adding another difficulty (purple) die, not upgrade.
Still, it is pretty nice, yes

You're right, thanks.
And you're right again, it's pretty nice. Too nice, in my opinion.
They can't have lightsabers, but who cares, when you can mow down the entire cantina on your own, "Last Man Standing"-style that cheap?
I have another question as a follow up to this scenario.
Assuming you succeed the check, is it just 2 advantage for the secondary no matter what, or is it 2 uncancelled advantage?

Auto-fire weapon is even better

It has to be net Advantage (i.e. Advantage not cancelled by Threat).

Everything triggers off uncancelled advantage. Crits, special abilities etc fall under this.

Advantages always need to be uncancelled to do anything.
