Does popping smoke, KFF or a flicker field convey a cover save against indirect fire, especially if out of LOS?

Yes, unless you can find something to deny the save.

I assume that you mean Barrage weapons being fired indirectly. The Barrage weapons draw LoS from the center of the blast marker. Since LoS does not affect popping smoke, KFF, a flicker field or any other ability that gives a flat Cover save they have no affect on their effectiveness.

Just going to be mildly offtopic here. A flickerfield is an Invul save, not a cover save.

I thought something seemed off but working off the hangover.......

Thanks. I wasn't sure about the flicker field. Damn I hate those. My buddy always seems to make the save.
