GKR: Heavy Hitters – Big Little Buddy

About this expansion

GKR: Heavy Hitters – Big Little Buddy is a 1–4-player add-on for 120-minute matches, featuring a sponsor-backed unit that can temporarily join a faction’s forces.

Available as a Kickstarter add-on or as part of the Urban Wasteland Expansion, Big Little Buddy brings BUDDYFINDER™ to the battlefield. This premier subscription-based friend rental service has supplied a conspicuous 70mm unit that advertises for whichever faction has unlocked him for the round.

When Big Little Buddy is deployed, players can attempt to claim him by playing a special Sponsor Card. That move can only be deflected with a counter-hack, creating a brief struggle over this highly visible battlefield asset.

Once controlled, Little Buddy can move during the Movement Phase and attack opponents during the Combat Phase. His unique arsenal includes three Weapon Cards and one Unit Card. Each round, he may fire only one weapon, but his attacks do not require Energy, making him especially useful when resources are tight.

• One Big Little Buddy miniature
• One unique Unit Card
• Five Sponsor Cards
• Three Weapon Cards

Control ends when the Combat Phase is over, so players must make the most of their temporary companion. Like other units, Little Buddy can be destroyed; once destroyed, he is removed from the game completely.

Big Little Buddy is not a Support Unit, so Support Unit rules do not bind him. However, he cannot tag buildings. With GKR: Heavy Hitters – Big Little Buddy, a flashy new unit adds contested control, free weapon fire, and unmistakable sponsor presence to the match.
