N18 Archaeotech Device and Melee

[Waynecheeky]

So RAW the Archaeotech Device territory says you can add the trait to any weapon, which implies Melee weapons are allowed.

I did a bit of Google-Fu and found some posts where people discussed intention and/or house rules. Is there any kind of official ruling one way or the other?

Asking cause my Goliath gang just scored this territory and giving blaze or shock to my Stimmers sounds amazing.

Unstable Trait triggers on Firepower dice so I guess you should roll one for each such Melee attack you make..

Yeah, I did some better searching and found most people agree that 1 Firepower per Melee action is generally agreed on.

That's one Firepower roll per Attack made with a Melee weapon that's benefiting from any of the other bonus traits listed as all come with Unstable, unless I'm mistaken. Enjoy!
