Unionist and Suppressing Fire interaction

[Peevenator]

The Unionist feat wording states: "bonus to attack roles made as part of the covering fire and harrying fire actions."

Would this apply to the Suppressive Fire action since it is providing either covering fire or harrying fire?

Without seeing a quote of the actual rules. No, because it's not those specific actions.

But, outside the rules, yes, because it's not a problem.

Suppressive Fire: "As a full action, you can use a ranged weapon with the automatic weapon property to provide covering fire or harrying fire in a cone with a range equal to half the weapon’s range increment."

Unionist: "You gain a +2 insight bonus to attack rolls made as part of the covering fire and harrying fire actions. When you have two or more allies within 60 feet, this attack bonus increases to +5."

The consideration is for Organized Play, so I don't want to assume just because the interaction makes sense.

Suppressive fire is a different action than the harrying fire and covering fire actions. So, by a strict rules reading Unionist does not work with suppressive fire.

So, don't count on it working in a society game.

Thanks. That was my thinking at face-value reading. Wanted to make sure there wasn't a separate rule or stipulation I might have been aware of.
