Gunner Role

Gunner(WIP)

If any role is at the center of MoW, it is the Gunner. You direct the power of the RR to take down Leviathans. This frees the team from the oppressive area denial effect of these superheavy units. You are equipped to take hits like a beast, and your Shield Generator Pack is critical to protecting the FRV.

Standard Operating Procedures

Load In

Call Shield Generator Pack and Recoilless Rifle (RR) Equip only RR (leave pack for Spotter).[appx. 5]

Transit

Keep the Heavy Machine Gun (HMG) pointed rear of FRV. Notify Driver when reloading last magazine.

Objectives

Use HMG for fire support on approach. Take a central position with Spotter and alternate shield relays. Be ready to engage Leviathans (see Takedown).[appx. 6.3]

Outpost

Follow specific directions from Driver.
Take out shields on Illuminate ships as directed by Driver.
Hold fire when Spotter leans to destroy the ship or hazards in the outpost.

Takedown

When Spotter calls out Leviathan, confirm that you have visual.
Dismount FRV with Spotter on their command.
Follow Spotter to best line-of-sight to Leviathan (usually near relay beam).
Throw a (Stun) grenade and QUICKLY clear the shield relay area of chaff (if any).
Clearly say: “ENGAGING LEVIATHAN” and take the first shot.
STAND STILL with RR EQUIPPED and await Spotter reload. Fire upon Leviathan until it is destroyed.

If Leviathan flies behind cover, pursue if possible. Move to a position where you can engage again. Spotter will follow. When the Spotter’s shield relay goes down, throw down your own. If Spotter says, “BREAK”, throw a (Stun) grenade and engage nearby hostiles until safe.

If Security says, “LEAVE”, disengage from the hostile forces. Spotter will determine if the Gunner will mount FRV or COMMIT. When the Leviathan is vanquished, say: “DOWN”. Keep a running total if you like!
