Drop Bears

"Drop Bear" is the colloquial name used in the military for a thrown version of the Mine. The operator of this weapon can throw it, even over an obstacle, or alternatively can deploy it within arm's reach like an old-fashioned mine.

DROP BEAR

EFFECTS

This weapon has two modes of use, Deployable Mode and BS Mode:

Drop Bear (Deployable Mode):
- In this Mode, Drop Bears work just like a Mine, so are placed with the Place Deployable or Intuitive Attack Common Skills, except that a Mine Token [Mine (-3)] is placed instead of a Camouflage Marker.
Drop Bear (BS Mode):
- You do not need a target to throw a Drop Bear as a BS Weapon, simply choose the desired location and make the corresponding Roll. If you pass the Roll, the Drop Bear is successfully deployed and becomes a Mine, placing a Mine Token [MINE (-3)] in the Conclusion step of the Order.
- A Drop Bear cannot detonate during the Order it is used in BS Mode.
- In BS Weapon Mode, Drop Bears cannot be placed where there is an enemy Camouflage Marker inside its Trigger Area. This restriction does not apply if there is a valid, non-camouflaged enemy inside the Trigger Area
The Disposable (3) Trait is shared between all Modes. The bearer of this weapon has only three uses available, no matter which Modes are used.
