Assault rifle and handgun Gunners can only fire the two types of bullets they have set up. But they're simple to operate and accuracy improves with training because each shot is the same as the last. And gun-shaped Triggers have an auxiliary function that increases range by 20%. That's what you choose if you want stable, reliable fighting.

Kyōsuke Karasuma about Gunners, in Osamu Mikumo 5.[1]

A Gunner (銃手(ガンナー), Gan'nā ?) is a Border agent who specializes in the use of Gunner Triggers channeled through firearms.

Specifics[]

The Gunner position is one of the 9 official positions available to Border agents, one of the 7 directly involved in combat, and one of the 4 a trainee can seemingly be.[2] Any combatant who have scored the most points with a Gunner Trigger combined with a firearm out of all the Triggers in their set are counted as Gunners[3], however if they have 6,000 points with a Gunner Trigger and any Attacker Trigger, they are classified as All-Rounders.[4] On the other hand, users of Gunner Triggers who do not utilize any firearms are known as Shooters.[5]

Overview[]

Gunners specialize in mid-ranged combat, with an emphasis on controlling the enemy's position.[6] Due to to the effectiveness of Shield, Gunners are mostly relegated to support roles, assisting allies from afar and regulating the flow of the battle.[7] Since they must also be able to take into account factors such as the goals of both teams, the conditions of the battlefield and the location of allies, frequently on the spot, Gunners are considered intellectual fighters.[8] Nonetheless, Gunners can become extremely dangerous by going in Full Attack[9] or by joining forces and focusing their fire on a single target.[10] Their fighting style is balanced and reliable, and it is easy to train one's accuracy thanks to the stable performance of the firearms they use, which also increases their range by 20% compared to Shooters.[1] Although they have fewer options than Shooters, Gunners may gain an edge on them due to only needing to aim and fire, whereas Shooters must perform more operations before they can shoot.[11]

The four bullet types Gunners can select are Asteroid, Hound, Meteor and Viper,[12] while the available Gun Triggers come in the form of handguns, assault rifles,[5] shotguns,[13] grenade launchers[14] and miniguns,[15] although it is unknown if the latter can be used by B-rank agents. Gunner Triggers determine the features of the shot, firearms other traits such as range, rate of fire and more.[5] These factors are also hugely affected by the Trion capacity of the user: when two high-level Gunners engage in combat, due to the linearity of their fighting style, the winner is often determined by their respective trion reserves.[16] Since Gunner Triggers consume a lot of trion, Gunners require a moderately large amount of it to be effective.[17] They can load firearms with no more than two types of ammo,[1] or combine them in advance to shoot composite bullets.[18]

Solo Points[]

Since points fluctuate constantly, most of the following scores are likely to be obsolete.

  • No. 1 Gunner,[19] Kazuma Satomi (Mar. 3)
  • No. 2 Gunner, Takuma Yuba[20] }}
  • No. 3 Gunner, Takaaki Katagiri[20]

  • Tatsuya Kuruma: 7,881[21] (Mar. 1)[22]
  • Kotarō Tomoe: 7,009[25] (Feb. 22)[26]

List of Gunners[]

Currently, there are 19 known Gunners in Border,[27] corresponding to the Gunners who participate in Rank Wars. Among the All-Rounders, Ai Kitora is known to have started out as a Gunner,[17] and Yōko Katori switched to this position before becoming an All-Rounder herself.[28]

The following Gunners are listed by their Squad's ranking at the end of the most recent season of Rank Battles. Their firearms and, when known, their individual ranking in the Gunner class are reported under their name.

Trivia[]

  • Shooters are occasionally considered a sub-class of Gunners[5] despite having been created first.[29]
  • The author declared he would likely be a Gunner if he were a Border agent, although he adjoined that his ineptitude at athletics could force him to become an Operator instead.[30]

  3. Daisuke Ashihara: Q: Kako-san doesn’t have a Gunner trigger on her main trigger side, so why is she a Shooter?
    A: This comes from BBF. Thank you for reading. The positions are based on the equipped trigger with the most solo points (except All-rounders). Kako-san’s Hound (custom) that she equips in her sub has the highest solo points, and the Scorpion she equips in her main hasn’t reached 6,000 points yet, so she’s a Shooter. It looks like she wants to increase her Scorpion to over 6,000 points and become an All-rounder. In the Galopoula battle, it seems she equipped Hound (custom) in her main too in preparation for a firefight.

  29. Daisuke Ashihara: Q: Are Shooters derived from Gunners? Who created the Shooter position and how did it happen?
    A: The order is that Shooter came first. There are those suited for handling cube bullets and those who aren't, so gun triggers were developed so that anyone can use bullets with a high degree of accuracy, and Gunners were derived.

  30. Daisuke Ashihara: Q: If you were to enlist in Border, Ashihara-sensei, what would your position be?
    A: I think a Gunner seems fun. But I’m very bad at athletics (lol), maybe Operator (lol).
