A two-use Disposable BS support weapon that allows Speculative Attacks, uses the BS Attribute, and fires Disco Balls, light-emitting jamming devices.

DISCO BALL

BS Attack, Disposable (2), Targetless.

EFFECTS

You do not need a target for the Disco Baller, simply choose the desired location and make the corresponding non Face to Face Normal BS Roll. If you pass the Roll, a Disco Ball is successfully deployed in the location, placing a Disco Ball Miniature or Token in the Conclusion step of the Order.
After placing the Disco Ball, place an Eclipse Special Ammo Circular Template, centered on the Disco Ball.
At the start of the States Phase, the Disco Ball deactivates. Remove the Circular Template.
Deactivated Disco Balls can be reactivated using the Activate Disco Ball Skill.
A deployed Disco Ball remains on the table until the end of the game, or until it is destroyed.

N5 FAQ

Version: 0.0.0, Oct 2025

Q: When using Place Deployable and declaring where the Deployable will be placed, what happens if a Trooper moves into that space before the Conclusion of the Order?

A: The Trooper that declared Place Deployable may place the Deployable in a different position (still following the Place Deployable rule), and if this is not possible, the Deployable will be lost.

This also applies to weapons that place a Deployable Weapon or Equipment on a successful Roll, such as Disco Ballers, Pitchers, and Drop Bears (BS Mode).
