Looting the Battlefield
Gangs are out for loot and steal anything that’s not nailed down - and some things that are!
A fighter within 1” of a loot can make a Loot (Double) action to see if it contains anything useful. Roll a D6:
| D6 | Result |
|---|---|
| 1 | Booby trap! Explodes like a frag trap: Str 3, D 1, Blast (5”), Knockback. |
| 2-3 | Nothing. |
| 4+ | 1 loot point. |
Regardless of the result, the loot is removed from the battlefield.
