Tactics - Move, Fire, Melee

[Amexsos]

Is this not possible in this game? I am ok with it if not, but lost my BJ in first mission after escape because I ran up to a mech thinking I could fire, them smack it.

Also, what happened to Firing then moving?

Anyone having these issues? Is it me or does the game mechanics not supporr these tactics?

You can't shoot and melee in the same turn. You do one or the other. That's your attack action.

You also can't fire and then move unless you have the second pilot skill unlocked. It's normally move and then shoot, or just shoot and your turn ends.

you can only choose to neither fire or melee..can't do both

Fire and move isn't a thing unless you have the right pilot skill.

You can, and will automatically, fire support weapons during a melee attack. Only support weapons can be used in conjunction with a melee attack. Basically, that's the MG and Flamer.

And the small laser.

Also, you can change facing and then shoot. If you have braced then this skill will still work. Remember to change your facing so that you can see the enemy, but also so that your most armoured parts are angled toward them. I.e. If your left side is damaged then show your right to the enemy as much as possible while retaining the ability to shoot them with all weapons.

Good luck!
