AOE ranged attacks that miss are centered on the attacking model. This model is the point of origin for all these attacks.

Deflect <i>thoroughly</i> messes with Steps 6 to 8 of the Attack Sequence. With reference to the 14 steps of the <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Attack_Sequence" title="Attack Sequence">Attack Sequence</a>:
</p><p><b>Case A: Target the Wastelander with a non-spray (<i>not</i> using Take a Bullet)</b>
</p>
<ol><li> Target the Wastelander</li>
<li> Resolve effects that occur when a model is targeted by an attack.</li>
<li> Check the range between attacker and the Wastelander. If it's out of range, it auto-misses and that will trigger Deflect. </li>
<li> Check for other auto-misses (for example if the Wastelander currently has <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Stealth" title="Stealth">Stealth</a>). <br/>If the attack auto-misses at either Step 3 or 4, that will trigger Deflect. (<b><a class="external text" href="https://privateerpressforums.com/showthread.php?279127-Take-a-bullet-and-stealth&p=3879187&viewfull=1#post3879187" rel="nofollow">Infernal Ruling</a></b>)</li>
<li> Make an attack roll vs the Wastelander. If it misses, that triggers Deflect.</li>
<li> Despite the wording of this step, <b>Deflect does not occur at Step 6</b>. Step 6 is actually for stuff like <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Sucker%21" title="Sucker!">Sucker!</a> and <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Shield_Guard" title="Shield Guard">Shield Guard</a>. <br/>Instead Deflect happens at Step 8. <br/>(<b><a class="external text" href="https://privateerpressforums.com/showthread.php?279290-Wastelander-Deflect-vs-Stealth-(a-query-on-attack-sequence)&p=3880706&viewfull=1#post3880706" rel="nofollow">Infernal Ruling</a></b>)</li>
<li> Skip AOE deviation. Deflect makes it centred on the attacker at Step 8. (<b><a class="external text" href="https://privateerpressforums.com/showthread.php?279290-Wastelander-Deflect-vs-Stealth-(a-query-on-attack-sequence)&p=3880717&viewfull=1#post3880717" rel="nofollow">Infernal Ruling</a></b>)</li>
<li> Assuming you triggered Deflect, the attacker is now auto-hit by their own attack.
<ul><li> You cannot use stuff like <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Shield_Guard" title="Shield Guard">Shield Guard</a> to save yourself from your own attack, because Shield Guard is resolved at Step 6. (<b><a class="external text" href="https://privateerpressforums.com/showthread.php?279290-Wastelander-Deflect-vs-Stealth-(a-query-on-attack-sequence)&p=3880725&viewfull=1#post3880725" rel="nofollow">Infernal Ruling</a></b>)</li>
<li> The attacker is hit regardless of range, LOS, and even if the attacker has Stealth. (<b><a class="external text" href="https://privateerpressforums.com/showthread.php?279290-Wastelander-Deflect-vs-Stealth-(a-query-on-attack-sequence)&p=3880706&viewfull=1#post3880706" rel="nofollow">Infernal Ruling</a></b>) </li>
<li> There is one exception however: if the attacker is not a valid target of their own attack, Deflect does nothing and the attack fizzles. (<b><a class="external text" href="https://privateerpressforums.com/showthread.php?279097-Deflect-and-HotShot&p=3878782&viewfull=1#post3878782" rel="nofollow">Infernal Ruling</a></b>)<br/>If you are not a valid target for your own attack, and you're shooting an AOE, then it does not deviate. It just fizzles and nothing happens. (<b><a class="external text" href="https://privateerpressforums.com/showthread.php?279097-Deflect-and-HotShot&p=3878790&viewfull=1#post3878790" rel="nofollow">Infernal Ruling</a></b>)<br/><i>For instance, a Protectorate warjack with <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Passage" title="Passage">Passage</a> cast on it can only be targeted by magical guns, so if it misses the Wastelander with a non-magical gun it cannot auto-hit itself.</i> </li>
<li> Anything else that triggers when the Wastelander is missed will still trigger, even though the attack now auto-hits the new target. (For instance, if <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Jaga-Jaga" title="Jaga-Jaga">Jaga-Jaga</a> gives the Wastelander <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Poltergeist" title="Poltergeist">Poltergeist</a>.)</li></ul></li>
<li> Steps 9 onwards (damage etc) are worked out normally.</li></ol>
<p><b>Case B: Target someone else with a non-spray, and the Wastelander uses Take a Bullet</b>
</p>
<ol><li> Target someone else</li>
<li> The Wastelander declares he is using Take a Bullet.</li>
<li> Do not check range. Take a Bullet makes it "counts as" in range.</li>
<li> Check if the attack auto-misses for a different reason (for example if the Wastelander currently has Stealth). <br/>If the attack auto-misses, that will trigger Deflect. (<b><a class="external text" href="https://privateerpressforums.com/showthread.php?279127-Take-a-bullet-and-stealth&p=3879187&viewfull=1#post3879187" rel="nofollow">Infernal Ruling</a></b>)</li>
<li> Step 5 onwards work the same as Case A.</li></ol>
