Melee: Attacks with this trait can be used during close combat without penalty.

Rending: If the roll to wound with a Rending weapon is a natural 6, the attack's Damage is increased by 1 and its Armor Penetration is increased by 1.

Silent: A weapon with this trait does not trigger Detect checks if used by a Hidden fighter, and does not risk raising the alarm in scenarios that use the Sentries special rules.

Exiguous: Some weapons that have multiple profiles share a single source of ammo, a common reservoir of fuel, or a shared breech that must be cleared in case of a jam. If any one of the weapon's profiles with this trait is Out of Ammo, all of the weapon's profiles that have this trait are also Out of Ammo. A successful reload of any one of this weapon's profiles that have this trait reloads all of this weapon's profiles that have this trait.

Discharged: After each use this weapon is treated as having failed an Ammo Check. There is no need to roll the Firepower dice unless the weapon also has the Rapid Fire (x) trait. The weapon can be reloaded or reset for later use within the battle as normal (unless it also has the Scarce trait or Limited trait). When using a weapon with this trait in close combat, it can only have one Attack dice allocated to it. Any other Attack dice that would have been allocated to it are allocated to the fighter's other weapon instead, or if the attacker does not have another weapon they are made as unarmed attacks.
