    Can a BS weapon target a piece of scenery?

    E.g. can a missile launcher use the blast mode to hit the corner of a building, and catching hiding troopers behind that building?

    The wiki says:
    BS Attack
    • Be able to draw Line of Fire (LoF) to the target of the LoF. LoF gained from being in Silhouette contact does not count for this Requirement.
    And the target trait says:
    Target
    Game element capable of being targeted by Attacks, and effects from Skills or Equipment.

    Thanks for your help in advance.

    At the moment the rules for destroyable scenery items are not included.

    The only ones available are in ITS and there are two clauses.
    1) The weapon needs the Anti-Materiel trait
    2) The attack cannot affect models

    So to get it right:
    I can't target the scenery, because there are no rules for damaging it?

    I think i got it now.

    Thank you!

    No, you can't target scenery because the BS Attack skill says "The user employs his BS Attribute (or Attribute specified by the weapon) to fire upon one or more enemies." Scenery isn't an enemy.

    In N3 there were rules for targeting scenery with some weapons, but not in N4.

    The Panic Room mission has antennas with a rule that says "A Biotechvore Antenna can only be damaged with weapons possessing the Anti-Material Trait," so we assume this must mean you can declare BS Attack against them even though they're not enemies. Aside from that, there's no rule that would allow a BS Attack against anything other than an enemy.
