Do you still pay the equip cost to attach a gear weapon to a unit when it has the Quick Draw keyword?

Ruling: When you play a gear with Quick Draw from your hand, you pay only the play cost (energy and recycle). The gear attaches for free via Quick Draw's triggered ability. You do not pay the equip cost for this initial attachment.

Sequence:

• Pay the play cost (energy and recycle) to play the gear from hand
• Quick Draw triggers when the gear enters play
• Attach the gear to a unit you control for free
• Later, if unattached, you can use the equip ability as a base speed action to attach it to a different unit (paying the equip cost)

Nuances:

• Quick Draw and Equip are two separate abilities that both attach the gear
• Quick Draw is a Reaction with a triggered ability; Equip is an activated ability usable only at base speed
• You cannot use the equip ability while the gear is already attached to a unit
• The top text box of equipment (including equip abilities) is disabled while the gear is attached
