Looting The Battlefield​

Gangs are out for loot and will steal anything that's not nailed down – and some things that are! Players roll 2D6 to determine the number of loot objects. These can be loot caskets, barrels, consoles or any other small pieces of terrain. Players then take turns placing these objects on the battlefield. Loot objects must be at least 6" from a board edge, and at least 3" from a battlefield object.

A fighter within 1" of a loot object can make a Loot (Double) action to see if it contains anything useful.

Loot (Double): Roll a D6. On a 4+, the fighter finds something useful and their gang gains 1 Loot point. On a 1, the fighter has discovered a booby trap and the loot object explodes like a frag trap. Regardless of the result of the roll, once a loot object has been interacted with, remove it from the battlefield.
