Hyper Burst is an ability and a combat technique.
Description
The term Hyper Burst originally refers to the AN-94's burst mode, which fires two rounds at an extremely high rate of fire, in order to ensure as little muzzle drift between each shot and, in theory, result in two accurate hits.
The technique itself is not much different from the full-auto equivalent, Recoil Control Stance.
Requirements
This ability is not initially available and must be unlocked. To unlock this ability, your character must reach Expert level in any of these combat skills: Automatic pistol, Automatic rifle, Automatic shotgun. Reaching this level in any of these skills also unlocks Recoil Control Stance, the equivalent technique for full-auto firearms.
Once unlocked, to be able to perform this combat technique, your character must be equipped with the following:
- A firearm capable of using burst mode.
Use
If you meet the skill and weapon requirements, you can perform Hyper Burst, which will result in the following:
- Instead of rolling one 2d6 per attack roll as one normally would, you roll a 2d6 per burst fired. The score obtained applies for every shot in the burst; that includes any critical hits or critical failures!
Use with other abilities
This ability can be combined with:
- Steady aiming: It is possible to combine this ability with Hyper Burst to fire a single burst with increased accuracy (FT-1) and one attack roll for all shots in the burst (dice results applies to all shots).
