We're now having a look at what's changed with the Weapon & Ammunition profiles in Infinity 3rd Edition! Can't do much High Sci-Fi killing without both of those at your disposal.
From the looks of things it's going to be a world of bigger and better ways to kill your opponents with plenty of big boomsticks and shiny guns.

Charts for the win, Carlos. Charts for the win 😀
Carlos FTW!
N3 is looking really good.
Charts make things so much easier to read. I love all the new info, great job all! I know there will be a digital barebones version of the rules for 3rd edition provided free online, but I wish there was a full digital copy of both 3rd edition books (for a fee) so that I can sport a tablet like Carlos!
charts glorious charts!
More videos more videos, hahah.
Wow, the missile launcher got reworked since Gencon.
Nicely done. I have to wait how the new weapon stats work with the full N3 rules set, though. Right now, some seem a bit strange.
More good info keep it coming BoW!
Interesting. Carlos said that you could target walls and scenery when talking about missile launcher.
I don’t know if i like this. Could open new tactical choices but could also open a whole new can of worms.
I liked the “fire corridor” suppression fire. Not sure what to make of the new version. Will have to see how it plays.
I’m a winner
Yep this really needs testing. Sounds good however !
More cool stuff. Like the revamped MULTI weapons. Change to suppression fire though is …interesting. While I like that it is now 180degrees and limited range the overriding weapon burst and range is a bit counter intuitive in my books. Leaving the range mods and burst of the weapon but with a negative BS modifier would have made more sense to me. But hey it is what it is. Still cool 🙂
As a new player to the Infinity universe it’s great to see how much further it all expands from Operation Icestorm into the full game
the charts make everything so much easier to understand
Information overload this week, I love it!
Lots of ammo types. Would warmahordes-style cards be helpful to have each troop’s rules in one place be useful?
The down side of cards is you end up with an FFG style game (mansions of madness, Xwing) where you spend more time going through the cards than doing anything else.
As long as the ammo types are layed out well in the books, they won’t be needed imo.
I would like to see the Aleph Toolbox have an option to repeat ammo type rules in it’s army sheets.
So under plasma for example, it will repeat that chart, then everything would literrally be in one place, your printed army list.
Right now it’s a case of, what does this do? Wiki time! 😀
Sigh, Infinity weekend is almost at the end 🙁 Hope there will be also a couple of Matches with the 3rd Edition Rules as a concrete preview !
2 more months and the 3rd Edition goes live ! Hypeeee !
Charts, charts, charts …. 🙂
The charts are nice.
Without mentioning the name of the Australian entertainer that used to do a saturday night show on TV where out of several coarse brush-strokes a fuller picture would gradually emerge…
… Not that I’m comparing Carlos to him, but N3 is beginning to take shape in my mind in a similar way.
So you can tell what it is then 😉
Oi, leave that Kangaroo alone! 😉
I like that all weapons uses the same distanz levels. Looking forward to 3rd edition.
So much content! Looking forward to the battle reports
All those ammo types make it sound like your troops can have a lot of versatility and options.
Hi Guy’s
I hope you will make some paper chart that we can pull out of the rule books so they will be easy to look at when playing !
Quick reference charts for this sort of thing are a must I’d say
You mean something a bit like this I’ve assembled…

(Someone confirm the link works please?)
Greatjob, I was actually hoping someone would do this!
Infinity is, by far the best game with the most interesting rule system I’ve played.
All these changes look like they’re going to make it even better.
Okay, as a Nomad player hearing about DT – double trouble – ammo sounds hella cool, plus adding isolated status as an outcome to E/M ammo it’s wunderbar! I really like the part when Bostria said “Ariadna will also suffer this”. As for ranges as I said during OP:Icestorm week it’s a good improvement regarding HMG and the like. The new SF – suppression fire – it’s really interesting and it’ll give a new way of playing, better than N2 to me in N3. The new SF indeed seems a lot cinematic and I really like this kind of things… Read more »
