    If a unit is attacked with guided ammo (because it is in TARGETED state), the unit can try to dodge.
    The DODGE is performed as if the unit had LoF (without MOD) or not (with -3MOD) ??

    Thank you very much

    does the unit dodging the guided attack have LoF to the trooper performing the guided attack?

    As Mike is implying, the dodge operates in the exact same way as dodging any other impact template weapon does. If the attacked model is outside of LoF from the model firing the guided ammunition, the target would suffer the -3 MOD to it's Face to Face dodge roll (unless it has Sixth Sense L2). However if the model being attacked has LoF to the model using the guided ammunition the dodge would not incur the -3MOD, though of course this situation will be more rare and the interaction may not have been immediately apparent to you as a result.

    you can dodge, without line of fire, with the -3.

    Also, you can only dodge without LoF against template weapons, you can change facing (wich is a dodge with -3) if the attack comes from your ZoC, but if the attack comes from out of LoF and out of ZoC you cant declare ARO (unless another rule allows it, like another trooper using Alert, or sixth sense L2)

    All guided weapons are template weapons, so for the purposes of the OP's question you can always at least dodge at -3

    And yes, even the Smart Multisniper is a template!

    Smart MULTI Sniper Rifle
    Human Sphere N3 Content.
    A highly sophisticated long range BS weapon.

    This weapon allows its user the ability to choose between four different Shooting Modes on the fly: the usual Medium MULTI Special Ammunitions, and another which applies the Guided and the Impact Template (Circular) Traits but with a lower Damage value.

    Name Range (inches) DAM B Ammo Traits
    Short Medium Long Maximum
    Smart MULTI Sniper Rifle (AP Mode) 0-8" -3 8-16" 0 16-48" +3 48-96" -3 15 2 AP Medium MULTI
    Smart MULTI Sniper Rifle (Anti-materiel Mode) 0-8" -3 8-16" 0 16-48" +3 48-96" -3 15 2 DA Anti-materiel, Medium MULTI
    Smart MULTI Sniper Rifle (Stun Mode) 0-8" -3 8-16" 0 16-48" +3 48-96" -3 15 1 Stun Medium MULTI, Non-Lethal
    Smart MULTI Sniper Rifle (Guided Mode) -- -- -- -- 13 1 DA Anti-materiel, Guided, Impact Template (Circular)


    The Smart MULTI Sniper Rifles come with special projectiles equipped with state of the art tracking rounds able to follow and hunt its target throughout the battlefield. This is a light support weapon with less destructive capabilities, but which compensates for that fact thanks to its longer range than traditional Smart Missile Launchers. The fact that it can also be used as a MULTI Sniper Rifle gives it a versatility highly appreciated by the special operation units.

    It's still around, just on the Nox instead of the Haiduk.

    No. I didn't mean the guided multi-sniper.

    That's the only type of guided sniper rifle that's ever existed in the Infinity rules, though.

    Sorry that's not quite correct. During the typically bollixed intro of Firestorm there was a period where both the guided sniper and a guided multi sniper were both listed and showed up in the weapon chart to boot. Clearly this was one of many errors.

    I still miss it.

    All of them have had disappointing roll outs on Army. But yes, Wildfire. Technically not misspelled. :(
