I've been playing them a bit recently, and honestly you will almost always want the shotguns and to just take the equipment. Their other three pieces of faction equipment are really situational, so you're never really hurting for a free slot to just take the knives. They technically roll one less die as an equipment vs. as a weapon on the datacard, but frankly you're still mostly wanting to be in midrange shooting with most units and can always pop the buffed masterful bladework on a turn where you need to really fight to go up to the 4 attacks anyways.

Why are the Yaegir's equipment so bad? I like the idea of getting special shotgun shells to use, but the stabilized shells barely make a difference and the firestorm shells are so alarmingly niche they're just not worth it. I really like this team except their equipment and sort of by extension their shotguns just lacking that extra something. Am I just missing something?
