During each friendly **PHOBOS STRIKE TEAM** operative's activation, it can perform either two **Shoot** actions or two **Fight** actions. If it's two **Shoot** actions, a bolt weapon must be selected for at least one of them. A bolt weapon is any ranged weapon that includes 'bolt' in its name, e.g. marksman bolt carbine, special issue bolt pistol, etc. Each friendly **PHOBOS STRIKE TEAM** operative can counteract regardless of its order.
**Strategic Gambit** if a friendly **INFILTRATOR** operative is in the killzone. Select one enemy operative visible to a friendly **INFILTRATOR** operative, or within 6" of a friendly **VOXBREAKER** operative. In the Firefight phase of this turning point, that enemy operative cannot be activated or perform actions until one of the following is true: - Your opponent has activated a number of enemy operatives equal to the number of friendly **INFILTRATOR** operatives in the killzone when this **Strategic Gambit** was used. - It's the last enemy operative to be activated.
Whenever an enemy operative is within 3" of friendly **REIVER** operatives, your opponent must spend 1 additional AP for that enemy operative to perform the **Pick Up Marker** and mission actions. Whenever determining control of a marker, treat the total APL stat of enemy operatives that contest it as 1 lower if at least one of those enemy operatives is within 3" of friendly **REIVER** operatives. Note this isn't a change to the APL stat, so any changes are cumulative with this.
Whenever a friendly **INCURSOR** operative is shooting, enemy operatives cannot be obscured.

Medic!. The first time during each turning point that another friendly **PHOBOS STRIKE TEAM** operative would be incapacitated while visible to and within 3" of this operative, you can use this rule, providing neither this nor that operative is within control range of an enemy operative. If you do, that friendly operative isn't incapacitated, has D3 wounds remaining and cannot be incapacitated for the remainder of the action. After that action, that friendly operative can immediately perform a free **Dash** action, but must end that move within this operative's control range. Subtract 1 from this and that operative's APL stats until the end of their next activations respectively, and if this rule was used during that friendly operative's activation, that activation ends. You cannot use this rule if this operative is incapacitated, or if it's a **Shoot** action and this operative would be a primary or secondary target.
Helix Gauntlet. Select one friendly **PHOBOS STRIKE TEAM** operative within this operative's control range to regain up to D3+3 lost wounds. It cannot be an operative that the Medic! rule was used on during this turning point. This operative cannot perform this action while within control range of an enemy operative.

At the end of the action, remove your Explosives marker from the killzone. In a killzone that uses the close quarters rules (e.g. Killzone: Tomb World), this weapon has the Lethal 5+ weapon rule.

Haywire Mine. This operative is carrying your Haywire Mine marker.

Proximity Mine. The first time your Haywire Mine marker is within another operative's control range, remove that marker, subtract 1 from that operative's APL stat until the end of its next activation, and inflict 2D3+3 damage on it; if it isn't incapacitated, end its action (if any), even if that action's effects aren't fulfilled. If it cannot be placed, move it the minimum amount to do so. Note that this operative is ignored for these effects (i.e. it cannot set it off or take damage from that marker).

Note that for the first requirement, that operative isn't restricted from performing those actions after shooting.
