The rulebook says that expendable gear is usable once per mission, but much of the expendable gear says to discard when used. Which is it?
It's the same sort of mistake that they make in the Infinity rules. The "Expendable" keyword on loot cards and such that say "Discard this card" is essentially completely redundant. Probably, if someone wanted to do a "Defiance 2.0", all of that stuff that says to discard when used should have the Expendable keyword replaced with a newly invented keyword like Disposable (define as: This equipment is temporary and does not carry across between missions.)
It'd be nice if we could get confirmation on this stuff. It seems weird that some of the characters have starting gear which they can use up in the first mission they play. Could we get some confirmation from CB on this? @Koni @-V-
