If Longarms get to Wildcard in a stinky Human sectorial when they can't even Triad in Spiral I will throw the HISSIEST of hissy-fits.
My Tohaa player half and my Ariadna player half will be there with you (THAT'S MY AUTOCANNON, YA SPACE FURRIES!). What's next, random four human sectorials getting a silly core Shasvastii unit once it gets a new box? Jayth for everyone!
WhiteCo is already disgustingly good, why are we giving them Longarms? Either we're going to give them Chaksa with a good fireteam, in which case why the sectorial is already a top tier contender. Or we're giving them Chaksa with a shit fireteam in which case again, fucking why even bother? Should've given them to mercs who needed something new. Like Ikari or something.
They might get some new link options in sectorials they add them to, but I would not expect profile changes/balance pass to happen. CB are historically not into that.
Well they did add new profiles to the Domaru when their box came out way back when. Not quite a balance pass, but it does show they don't mind doing something when a box comes out.
Amusingly; they have AVA 4 in all the new sectorials (like they are in Tohaa), while they are only AVA 3 in Spiral Corps. SWF and Bakunin somehow have access to more Longarms than their home Sectorial. Makes me think they just mindlessly copy-pasted the Tohaa profiles without any real thought or care. Similar to how they copy-pasted the Spiral Corps profile to Tohaa, changed the AVA to 4, and didn't even both removing the now-useless Fireteam rules from them.
I know everyone keeps talking about the heavy weapons but I keep looking at that 22pt. +1 Burst, Dmg 14, Pulzar and E/M grenades.
BTW they are now in Army and they have not updated the PDFs for fireteams. So in Army they are Duo and Haris. ────────────────────────────────────────────────── 3 CHAKSA LONGARM Combi Rifle, Pulzar(+1B), E/M Grenades / Pistol, CC Weapon.

Unless they update the rules in the Fireteams document/wiki, RAW it's needed for the sectorial charts to be updated if the Chaksas are to link... specially since we are full in N4 and this February they updated those charts with MO, instead of making the Wiki entry like in N3
Update made and now all AVA 3. They have not updated PDFs but as mentioned they say in the store that they are are fireteams for all of the forces they are in. I have to agree about them in Spiral though. They seem to have more of the short end of the stick in their own sectoral. You can make some interesting haris options in the others with Wildcards.
