Looking at the kriza, specifically the profile with the mk12 and submachine gun. When I go into suppressive is that when I pick the gun or is it like shooting where I don't pick till I decide to roll dice like ammo types?
Suppressive Fire is a fire mode of a weapon, so you declare which weapon you're using when you enter suppression. You can switch ammo type, if the weapon has more than one, but not the weapon you're using.
I don't know if that's been officially ruled anywhere. This thread never got an answer with people arguing differently about it http://infinitytheforums.com/forum/...fire-on-trooper-with-multiple-weapons/?page=2
Fair point @Triumph, it's possibly legal to declare the weapon at the moment of the ARO, but it's definitely legal to declare it at the point of entering suppression, so until CB says otherwise it's best to stick to the later IMO.
As with many things in Infinity, follow the rules to what you feel is the best interpretation, then go to a tournament and have it ruled the other way by the TO. for what it's worth @tezeech locally we allow multiple guns
I think the fact that it says a weapon with the SF trait must be used to declare SF sort of implies the limitation to a specific weapon, however making that more clear would certainly be helpful.
I interpret SF as a state that applies to the trooper not the gun. While in the SF state the trooper can ARO with any weapon available. Using one without SF cancels the state and using one with SF keeps the state active. Thematically it seems fine to me. I look at it as using both SF weapons simultaneously. If I can flick a switch to change ammo types why can't I lower the gun in my left hand and raise the gun in my right? Using two guns at once lays down more fire after all.
Thinking about "what meanz supressive fire" says me you declare supressive fire with X weapon and you must use it. Since you use supressive fire you are shooting ;) <br>Una ranita iba caminando...
For reference, the faq was updated to clarify this: http://wiki.infinitythegame.com/en/Suppressive_Fire
Sorry for the Necro... Just checking Suppressive Fire mode on Multi weapons. Only the B3 mode can enter SF, right? You couldn't use Stun or DA/EXP ammo at B3 while in Suppressive Fire? Thanks
I am pretty sure you have to declare which ammo you’re employing on the Suppresive Fire and apply only that ammo while the state is not cancelled.
Answered in the FAQ - http://infinitythewiki.com/en/Suppressive_Fire_(State) You must declare the weapon when you enter the state. N3 Frequently Asked Question FAQ Version: 1.4, Sep 2018 Q: For a trooper with more than one weapon with the Suppressive Fire trait, must we declare which one he uses to enter Suppressive Fire state or can he use any of those weapons while in this state? A: When entering Suppressive Fire state, you must choose which weapon the trooper will use. Related Pages: Suppressive Fire, Suppressive Fire (State), Suppressive Fire Mode ED
From FAQ: Q: When do I choose which ammunition or fire mode is used while in Suppresive Fire? A: At the moment of declaring the Burst. So you choose the gun when you enter suppressive fire, and the ammo(assuming that ammo mode has the suppressive fire trait) at the declaration of the ARO. Practically that means that pretty much the submachinegun gets to choose ap or shock since nearly everything else only has one fire mode with the suppressive fire trait.
And Multi Rifle, Multi HMG, HRMC, Plasma Rifle (selects blast or direct mode), Multi Marksman Rifle, as well as anything with Marksmanship L1+
Multi Rifle, Multi HMG, HRMC and Multi Marksman Rifle only have one fire mode with suppressive fire. You can't choose either Anti-materiel Mode or Stun Mode for suppressive fire. They don't get a choice, so it's really just the SMG that gets to pick ammo types in suppressive fire.
