The ADVENT Gunner is a trooper variant that carries a machine gun.

They serve a similar role as XCOM's Gunner, starting with Area Suppression, high damage and a large clip size, but they suffer from lower mobility. With upgraded versions that appear later on, they get perks to further improve their direct fire capabilities.

*Area Suppression cannot be used when the soldier is concealed. *Any unit that attempts to move will face reaction fire as long as the suppressing unit has ammo remaining. *Does not work with shotguns or sniper rifles. *Area Suppression costs 3 ammo points to use, plus one additional ammo for each reaction shot. It has no cooldown. *Area suppression will be canceled if the suppressing unit is damaged. *If multiple units suppress a target, the aim penalty will not stack. *Suppression restricts many of the target's abilities, including the use of rockets and grenades.
Fire a barrage that pins down multiple targets within a 4-tile radius, granting reaction fire against anyone that moves, and imposing a -25 penalty to all targets' aim until suppression is removed. Cannot be used when concealed.

Gain +20 aim and +10 crit for successive shots at the same enemy unit.
Covering Fire
*If triggered by an enemy action, Covering Fire will trigger before the enemy action completes. *In addition, having the Covering Fire ability confers a -10 aim penalty upon any units you take a reaction shot at, regardless of whether it was a covering fire shot or not and this penalty can be stacked. *The penalty does not affect the current action an enemy takes if it is aim-based and would only apply in the next turn. This means that if a covering fire shot was taken against an enemy performing an aim-based action, that action does not suffer the penalty.
Reaction shots confer an aim malus on enemies and can now be triggered by any enemy action, not just movement.
Traverse Fire
*After taking a standard shot with your primary weapon with your first action, you may take an additional non-movement action.

Tips

  • Like most flankable units, they will ideally try to find reasonable cover whenever flanked. This can be taken advantage of if you want to force enemies to move.
  • Like most units with AOE moves, you ideally want to spread your soldiers out in order to greatly disssuade them from ever using them. But unlike other unit types, it may be beneficial to group up in order to incentivize the gunner to suppress your soldiers which will effectively remove their chance at a shot to deal potential damage. If doing this, it is ideal to have a way to disable their suppression in the next turn to truly make their turn a wasted one otherwise you pinned yourself down into a tougher turn.
