 In Infinity, when a Trooper performs an Attack during their Active Turn they must roll as many dice as indicated by their Weapon, Skill or piece of Equipment.
-During their Active Turn, Troopers must use their '''full Burst (B) value''' including all Modifiers (MODs). However, MODs from Skills and Equipment with the Optional Label, such as the Fireteam Burst Bonus, do not have to be applied during the Active or Reactive Turn.

 When declaring the Attack, the player must specify:
 * The [[Weapon]], [[Equipment]], or [[Special Skill]] that they will use.
 * The way they will divide the Burst (B) of the Weapon, Equipment, or Special Skill between one or more targets. In this situation, all the Attacks must be declared from the same point.
-* Additionally, if the Weapon, Equipment, or Special Skill has different types of ammunition or options, the player must then declare which one they will use.

 If, during the [[Resolution]] of the Order, it is verified that some of the dice of the Burst (B) assigned to a target do not meet the necessary Requirements, then those dice will be lost. The rest of the dice of the B that do meet the Requirements will be resolved normally.
