Utility marine: PathMaker

Equipment:

► Show Spoiler

Weapon:
M41a (Scope, LaserSight, ExtendedBarrel)
Armor: (2x m41a magazines)
Belt: (Machete)
Pockets: (2x flarePouches)
Backpack: (bag of 7x5 flares)
Hands: (Bag of flares x2)

Idea:
The biggest downfalls to marines are failure to light up areas, and failure to clean pathways for attacking.

LIGHTING:

► Show Spoiler

Lighting ranges:
- Marine lamplights extended out to ~3 tiles.
- Flares = ~4 tiles
- Flashlights = ~4 tiles
- RailLights = ~6 tiles
A flare box is equivalent to having 5 extra marines with lights. Thats alot of well lit areas. In your 3 bags are 105 flares. Thats ~420 tiles of Raw Lamp Power. jeepers, thats alot of dead mothbugs

CLEARING:

► Show Spoiler

- combat knife/ Machete = 1 attack per second
- Big weed nodes: clear with 4 knife slices or 1 machete slice
- Sticky goop: 5 knife slices / 1 machete slice
- Senior Sticky Goop: 10 knife slices / 2 machete slice
- Walls: 15+ knife slices / 5 machete attacks
When marines get tired of not one hit clearing big weeds, they will stop cleaning weeds altogether. This is bad. Aliens run ~20%-40% faster on weeds. Marines all move -20% slower on weeds. Sttick goop is even worse, with marines moving at -40%- 100% less.

TLDR: Just by clearing away big weeds/walls with your machete, you are saving HOURS of what would have been wasted time/effort from other marines. GOT SPEED = GOD SPEED.

TIPS AND TRICKS:

► Show Spoiler

- Prep your kits: It takes 5 minutes to fill 10 bags of flares. 15 flare bags will last a whole round of hard fighting
- Toss flares everywhere, you have 8 venders of flarebags per squad ( usually about 100-200 flarebags, or about 500 to 1000 flares), with about 320+ flashlight/raillights as well.
- If your near a combat area, toss out ~4 flare packs near where the medics are healing wounded. Thats a mini-resupply area now. Encourage others to toss flares with you, and they will assist.
- Run between the backline and the front line of an attack, keep tabs on whats happening. Drag wounded to the medics, cut weeds from the front line, toss flares on all your flanks. Use your scope to scare away flankers from afar, and to support the frontlines from the backline.

War is a game of logistics. The biggest of which are the ability to see what/ where your enemy is/isnt, and the ability to move your troops/ supplies/ wounded to or from areas of interest. With this loadout, you will see a ridiculous difference in how all the marines around you behave. More aggressive assults, Less casualties when retreating, more teamwork from everyone all around, thanks just to you and your efforts.

Machete needs two slices to clear nodes and beno's purple shit. Fire axe does it in one, but you need to wield it.

[Kibbles]

Flamethrower in suit storage, backpack slot, left hand, and right hand.

Spare fuel tank on belt
Pocket extinguisher and First Aid pouch

Maybe a fifth flamer that you alternate throwing with one from a hand if you're lucky.

[Ranged66]

M37 Shotgun: Stock, RDS, angled grip, flechette rounds.
Sidearm: M41A with 2 HEFA.

[Boersgard]

Smartgunner:

Medical pouch
General pouch
7 Grenades
SL's Motion Detector

No pistol, no SMG. Grenades do a better job scaring off or killing xenos, so grenades are your secondary weapon.

The Motion Detector tells you when you're about to get fucked, and what direction to shoot before you can see the enemy. Makes grenade throws better, too.

[Arbs]

Grenadier loadout:
M41A (RDS + UGL + 2 HEDP)
Webbing + 3x M41A AP
M3 Armor + 2 HEDP / 2x M41A Magazines

Back: Satchel
M4A3 + Rail light
3x M4A3 mags
2x M94 marking flare packs

1x first aid pouch
1x flare pouch/first aid pouch/magazine pouch

[Crossbow7734]

PFC: M41A with RDS, BFA and Supressor on the back. A normal ammo belt with some AP and Extended mags for M41A. I also put a Shottie with a bayo and flashlight loaded with one buckshot and slugs. I ask for a webbing from Req, then I fill it with one handful of buck and 2 handfulls of slugs. On Pockets I ususally have a First Aid Pouch and a Flare pouch. A stale bar and a painstop in my helmet, On the Armor I have splints ( Not for personal use, I throw those at medic on the frontline when he needs them). I sometimes put an MRE on my armor too(For personal use or if some dum dum forgets to stuff himself in the canteen. Believe me the second one happens too often), but I prefer to have 1 free slot for dogtags/personal objective item.

As a Smartgunner: Barrel Charger for My Smartgun, laser sight, and a machete. I ususally take a First aid pouch and pistol pouch and ask Req for a loaded .45 with 3 spare mags. I keep those mags in my webbing, and machete on the belt. When I have a chance I swich the machete for Motion detector, I get a red dot from my vendor, and attach it (and the laser sight from req) on my .45.
For stuff in my armor and helmet it's like in PFC loadout.

Also If you wonder why I don't take any nades. Those mean pain and sadness in my hands. Never ever trust me with a nade.

Ah. I forgot about the most important thing. The ultimate weapon of mass destruction and terror. The boot knife! Always take the boot knife with you!

And yes my english sucks almost as much as my grenade throwing skills.

Excuse me sir, can you write a guide on how to play req like a fiddle?

I just have connections to ROs. One round, RO said no HPRs would be ordered. Then I showed up with my orders, and he was like, "Ah it's you, come to south door"
