[Wielder]
As a Complex Action costing 2PP, the user uses a Ranged Weapon to provide Covering Fire, delayling their next Activation by 20%. Set up a Covering Fire Clock with 3 Spans. The user and their allies may tick a Span on this Clock to claim Light Cover (or Heavy Cover if already in Light Cover) from incoming non-@Trait[contact] attacks. The Covering Fire effect ends when either the clock is filled, or the user's next Activation begins.
