    I have looked at multiple threads which brought up this topic, but I couldn't find a definitive answer. Even though it might be clear, it might be worth a FAQ or Wiki update.

    Fatality L1 requires the user to declare a BS Attack using the BS Attribute.

    Direct Template Weapons require no BS roll to hit. Some DTWs still classified as a BS weapons however, such as the Light Flamethrower.

    The question is, when declaring an attack with a BS weapon which does not roll to hit, does it still count as "using" its defining attribute?

    No. Doesn't work with direct template weapons. You need to use the attribute.

    Personally, I would have liked ALL weapons on a TAG platform to get the boost in damage, but that's unfortunately not how FAT1 works.

    @Triumph got it.

    I would like to add that this also means Fatality L1 won't apply when using those weapons in an Intuitive Attack, as that requires a WIP roll.

    Beaten to the DMG18 Sepsitor or the twin DMG15 HFTs, I think CA was what blocked this. :V

    You mean the army that didn't have nor was planned to get Fatality when the rule was designed?
