In regards to the Tau's Sun Shark bomber

Does the main attack of this thing perform the same function as markerlight, removing the ranged damage reduction of the target?

[TemplarGR]

You mean, if it removes the markerlight debuff from the target? It should.

[Foxassassin]

Yes and no. Sun Shark's attacks only self modify and do not actually apply markerlight. It's essentially a permanent accuracy modifier and RDR negation.

Sweet, so then the target will be vulnerable to further attacks that bypass any ranged damage reduction it may have had?

I see, so does the RDR negation only apply to the Sun Sharks's attacks?

[Howell-Barrex Soldier Ja'kala]

It has the trait Networked Markerlight which prevents it from benefiting from and/or consuming Target Acquired (the debuff applied by Markerlight).

Yes. It doesn't actually apply Markerlight, but has the benefits as if the target -was- Markerlight-ed.
