Some combat basics

[Zosete]

I’m only in the tutorial, but I have some questions about basic combat mechanics that haven’t been explained and shouldn’t be locked even at this stage.

1. what’s the big red circle area that shows at the beginning? I’d tend to think it signals your group starting area, but it’s not centered around any character. Does it have any significant or real effect?

2. EoS paradox wiki states that you can fire a secondary weapon and then move. I assume this is wrong and firing any weapon ends completely the turn even if you just use 1 single AP.

Also, any site with reliable information about mechanics would be appreciated.
thanks

1. The red circle probably relates to Maria's trigger-happy trait. At the start of combat she should automatically fire at any enemies within that circle.
2. When the game launched it was possible to fire a secondary weapon and then move but this has been changed so that firing a weapon will normally end the turn.

Thanks a lot. That explains everything.
By the way, is there a way to check your passive talents somewhere while
In combat? For example, the one that grants you move after a kill. I get a notification when it happens and I have very few gangsters, so I usually remember. But so far, I’m not able to access the skill tree tab while on combat and I don’t see any indication (I’m playing on Xbox)

I play on PC but I think it is the same. Any skills you have acquired will be in the actions available to you at the bottom of the screen when it is that character's turn.
