| Tier 2 Look Over the Horizon – Gain an additional range increment when using volley fire. In addition, you may mark an 5x5 area with an awareness check (opposed by stealth), granting allies a bonus to volley fire attacks in that area. This bonus does not stack with other uses of this ability, and is equal to the number of caution dice used in the check. |
| Until The Cannons Melt – When making attacks beyond the first in a round, you may choose to take health damage and stress instead of disadvantage. Roll the dice for the level of disadvantage and apply the result equally as health damage and stress, and deal 1 point of structural damage to the ivoking weapon for every 6 rolled. | Damage Control Systems – You may sacrifice 1 rank of armor to remove a wound or debility (up to severe) from yourself as an action.

Using this ability consumes minimum ammunition of the invoking weapon. | Aegis – You may use Aimed Fire as a defense ability, and may roll defense for an ally in addition to their own if they are within the first range increment of the invoking weapon. This ability cannot be used against melee attacks on yourself, and has disadvantage against melee attacks on allies. |
