Whats the equipment card that increases range to 24 inches?

Ultra rare extended range ammo
which is harder to get, more then the mech it comes with

I thought the extended range cards (like G-175) only gave a max range of 16. Is there another type of extended range card? Which mech did it come with?
S.

enhanced Targeting but its limited to CW/SW. doubles to max of 24 with maximum dmg of 3.

Extended range ammo (there s a L and A of that one wich comes with Black Out Malice and Gray Hunter Wulfen) doubles range to a max of 16 with a -2 av

that CW thor is quite a prize in itself. best heavy mech they got, better than the warwolfs.

just tough to prime without receiving any damage

my bad,I dont have one myself so uh,yeah, anyways the UR CW thor doesnt really need to be primed but each click is a great click untill it does prime. I wish i could get my hands on one

RISC Hyper Laser is faction independent card which adds 1/2 of the energy weapon range, so that 21" max for 14" range or 24" max or 16" range.

The downside is that you have to roll 3-6 first to be able to use it, and if you roll 1 its permanently disabled.

its nice on 16'" mechs but failed to many times at 1st shot rolling a 1 so im not that optimistic about cards that have a certain chance of working and then having to roll for hit afterwards.

still its 10 points worth the risk of losing (i beleve its not disabled its destroyed when rolling a 1 so you lose 10 points of your build)

but i believe these 3 mentioned gear cards are the only gear wich increases range. (there are 2 FPS - DF, CNC and 2 SAs HiL/SC, SH/SW that give a bonus a +2" range to 1 unit)

Having a high rolling dice negates the drawbacks. I know WK often said this is more than just a game of luck.

But man, if you do know how to roll your dice right! I believe it is the primary skill that any MW player must possess, tactics only comes second. :)

This is why RISC equipment should be considered a secondary tactic or a last-resort move to use it. If you try to rely on it, it will blow up in your face.

hence why i dont use them, even IT has a 50% chance it will roll worse then before in most cases but if it fails you dont lose it.

Accually, hyper laser fails on a 1-3 not 1-2. So it only works 50% of the time. But when it does work its freaking rediculous. Yes it is a risc gear, but it's only 19 points! The way i like to use it, is like an improved ppc capacitor. Don't count on its range bonus, but shoot within your maximum range, and if it works, it does 50% more damage at no cost of heat to you! And for the rare case that you need it, it also goes through reflective armor.

I agree about some risc gear not being worth the risc, but this is definately one that is!

I licke RISC hyperlaser,

They are weapons of choice evytime I know that I will face an Ares.
5 for 5 taking out an Ares in less than 4 turns. Twice in 2 turns.

For 19pts & energy heavy mechs, Why not!?!?

You know what they say, I'd rather be lucky than skillful :classic: .
