I was wandering what's the difference between the '+' and the ',' while listing equipments. I always assumed that's irrelevant but what's the point of those two different separator?
Depends on exactly what they're being used for. When talking about Weapons the + means that the second weapon is underslung on the first. Which makes them different weapons for the purposes of the twin weapon rule and the Scavenger rule. You'll also occaisionally see the + used to signify that the equipment is a separate synchronized model/marker (ie: Tinbots, Deva Bots etc). The , is used to refer to individual pieces of gear.
Case one: The comma: Pistol, CCW The model has two weapons, a Pistol and a CCW Case two: The + CombiRifle + Light Grenade Launcher The model has one weapon, a combination of Combi Rifle and Light Grenade Launcher. Supporting references in the current FAQ: Can I apply the bonus of +1 to Burst for Twin Weapons, if my troop has a Light Shotgun and has used the Special Skill Scavenger to get a Rifle+Light Shotgun? No. To be able to apply the bonus for Twin Weapons, both the weapons must be exactly the same. The weapons with the symbol “+” are a combined weapon. and For the Concilium Watch ITS rule, is a Rifle + Light Shotgun (or any other “+” combined weapon) banned, as well as a Light Shotgun? Yes, it is banned. But that's really the sort of situations where the distinction matters. Usually it doesn't make any difference.
Also matters to Aida Swanson and Irmandinhos :) It also matters for Scavenger Special Skill. In the case of a Wu Ming Heavy Rocket Launcher, Aida can choose to pick up either the Heavy Rocket Launcher or the Light Shotgun or the pistol In the case of a Bao Troop with Combi Rifle, Aida can choose to pick up either the Combi AND its attached Light Shotgun or the pistol In the case of the Zuyong Tinbot Haris profile, Aida can only choose to pick up one of the Breaker Pistols because the Combi also has an attached Tinbot controller which is non-Lootable. ZÚYŎNG (Fireteam: Haris, Tactical Awareness) Combi Rifle + 1 TinBot B (Deflector L2) / 2 Breaker Pistols, Knife.

Understood! Since i Play PanO i have few units that have scavenger, but is really usefull to know all this special cases. Thanks!
Also a / indicates equipment or skills that are mutually exclusive, you must choose one when deploying the model. Tiger Soldiers can have AD:Combat Jump or Multiterrain, not both.
