Squad Supply/Ammo man

Post by TheUnicornOfJustice » 01 Jan 2017, 15:54

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): While playing on CM, if i don't run a setup that is like full belt of ammo plus few extra mags, I usually will always run out of ammo and be left with only like one magazine until cargo finally gets a crate of ammo down. Even then, youd have to run all the way to the FOB or where ever it is, leave your guys, and go get the ammo. My idea is that a new squad role should be added that is like a supplies dude, or like ammo man.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Will make the squads more of a team because not only will they have to 'protect' the engineers and such, but they will also wanna think of, "We should probably protect this ammo dude because if he dies we will run out of ammo unless we run all the way back to the FOB and rearm."

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): The Ammo man would have a normal marine card, but they would start with a like M34 or something like that Ammo belt, that could be like life saver bag but for ammo, maybe only 2 full rows of ammo holding cause 3's kinda a lot. They could also get like a brown webbing vest at beginning. But besides being able to hold a lot more ammo, they would act as normal marine for most part.

I don't see the need. Any normal marine can just fill their bag + belt with ammo and pass it around when they hit the planet.

There were similar suggestions to implement this, specifically to bring box the ammo box.

It's basically a box people could carry around filled with ammo.

I don't like cute things.

Good hunting.
