Argenta.. And Close Combat

[Lauro]

Hello all i was wondering usually when enemy's are "close" to argenta she cant Fire ( with her default weapon i think it was ) so im curious is there any way to remove this "restriction" ?

Use sword and pistol (you can't use bolter in close combat unless you get the perk that allow it to shoot from range 1)

[Tactical Drongo]

despite the perk named above
you can fire in melee using pistols and having a sword to go with it does not hurt either, although her stats are range optimized

I believe shotguns also work at close range to push enemies back.

Which Perk is that one... ??

There's an ability called Dash you are going to want to pick up. It allows you to move some hexes and not trigger attacks of opportunity. It's also valuable much like Run and Gun to reposition Argenta, but without debuffing your BS and again, not provoking AoO.

A perfectly positioned Argenta every turn = perfectly dead enemies. :) :)

That way you can take Bolter/Heavy Bolter, however what Tactical Drongo said works until you pick up Dash and/or Heavy Bolter.

Later it becomes a non-issue as soldiers get the dash ability (highly recommended). So Argenta can keep her bolter and - more importantly: her flamer

My bad i'm looking at the game ingame wiki (attack of opportunity you can only use pistol and shotgun in melee range)

There is a perk after level 15 that lets you use long range weapons at -10 penalty.
That is nothing.
You have to go soldier route, it's something like "close quarter".
All I know is that until the second evolution is was NOT in the list.

The perk is named Close-Quarter training in the arch-militant tree

I read your mind with my Psyker powers. I even came from the other room to post right before you could. Now the glory is mine as it should be.
