They make Comms Attacks, but there's nothing saying they are comms equipment (i.e. vulnerable to Blackout), as far as I can see. Just confirming.
Frankly, I guess a lot of players would be happy to see you spending orders to blow jammers held by 5 pts WIP15 model that still have their smoke, chain rifles and EMP templates.
Mutts are undercosted as shit and could easily double in points and still be amazing. E: also make them comms equipment cb for consistency
There seemed to be an impulse at CB to make them as powerful as possible with their last round of changes... I have no reason to suspect that idea has changed.
IIRC they used to be an AoE centered on the user, and they affected the user. But I don't want to confuse them with the E-Marat.
