Weapons System Officer and Thread Tracers/Multi Missile Pods

[profdeadpool]

Weapons Systems Officer requires using a special weapon that has a lock requirement.

 

Does having a "focus, calculate or lock"/"calculate or lock" requirement like Thread Tracers and Multi Missile Pods have count as having a lock requirement, and therefore WSO can be used to acquire a lock on the defender? Or are they two distinct kinds of requirements that means WSO doesn't trigger?

Yes.

Weapons Systems Officer (Gunner) reads: 

After you perform a special attack with the Lock requirement, you may acquire a lock on the defender.

Both XX-23 S-Thread Tracers (Missile) and Multi-Missile Pods have the Lock requirement in addition to other requirements on their card and would trigger Weapons Systems Officer
