Russian Roulette
* Shots will continue to be taken until a hit is made, ammo runs out or there are no more targets to shoot at. * Critical hits and grazes both are considered "hits" for the purposes of this ability. * Only affects regular Overwatch; Return Fire and similar abilities that grant other kinds of reaction shots are unaffected. * This soldier won't continue to make Overwatch shot attempts if their Overwatch is removed, e.g. by taking damage, being suppressed or becoming disoriented.
When on Overwatch, if your shot misses, another shot will be taken as long as ammo is available.

Leg Shot
* Requires dual pistols. * Each hit of this ability reduces enemy Mobility stat by 10. It will not prevent enemies from teleporting or using grapple. * No cooldown.
