That's one of several reasons why I recommend PCS: Fire Control(75) for anyone with Rapid Reaction.Tuhalu wrote:Kill Zone is situationally useful.
Rapid Reaction can give 3 overwatch shots, but only if the first 2 actually hit. If there are enemies with Lightning Reflexes, you would be better off using Kill Zone since you'll take 1 shot at every target in the AOE (until you run out of bullets). Not only could you get more than 3 shots given enough targets, having a single Lightning Reflexes enemy run your overwatch won't wreck it.
Btw the Kill Zone covering fire trick had my sniper wipe the control room pod on a network tower mission once.
