    Steps to recreate:
    1. Play NA2
    2. Include a Spec-Ops in your army
    3. Give it Scavenger special skill and HMG weapon
    4. Put it in a fireteam of at least 3 members
    5. Scavenge an enemy HMG
    6. ???
    7. Profit

    Is this the first time it's theoretically possible to get a Burst 6 weapon in the game or have I missed something?

    Seems so. Unlikely to ever happen, but yeah.

    I wonder if this will get fixed.

    HMG result on the Booty table when using Panopolies in a link.

    Any linked HMG can pull another HMG out of a Panoply if that counts by your standards.

    Why?

    We already have linkable Fatality Lv2 so who cares about Burst 6 ? (unless they make it to Fatality guys...)

    Meh about FAT2... the sky isn't really falling.

    But yeah the HMG thing existed before with panoplies, so I doubt it's something that needs to be "fixed".

    Most of these weird outcomes are fine because they're rare. It might affect a single game and become a cool story you tell about the time you got to roll 6 dice, but it's not a systemic issue.

    The BS that you could pull with Sync'd Civvies in ITS9 was of this type: sure you could so it, but honestly it wasn't likely to come up often enough to be a factor. And then everyone got to start the game with a synced Civvie...

    That's the difference between Fat 2 in a core link and managing to get a B6 HMG. One is a factor in every single game vs Ramahh/Shas the other is a very occasional cool story.

    Still only B5 FAT2. And HMG isnt honestly any worse than a Sptifire or Red Fury.

    This may be why there is no Spitfire or Red Fury on the Booty Charts... ;)

    You can't get a Spitfire.

    Rasail Spitfire + Chaksa Pistol -> 6 dice rolled.
    Technically it's not a Burst 6 attack, but you are rolling 6 dice and the enemy has to decide what to shoot back.
