Entrenching tools.

[mrturkeytoe]

Summary: Marines usually get stomped in hive assaults on LV-624 in the chokepoint in the tunnels just east of the crashed shuttle, especially now that the mining tools have been removed from the map, I suggest adding entrenching tools.

Benefits: Instead of every round where marines are starting to win the ground battle always turning into a turtle fest of if the marines will push the caves and get slaughtered or xenos will come out and die, entrenching tools give marines a counter-play to xeno acid and chokepoints, adding more variability to each rounds outcome and how each side plays their cards so to speak.

Details: Make the tool collapsible, like a telebaton, and give it three modes when extended, pickaxe, shovel and a improvised weapon, give it a holding pouch, capable of being stored in armor or a bag. Put one in each squad engineer vendor and five in each standard vendor.

Implementation: It shouldn't be too difficult to make, copypasta code from the telescopic baton, shovel, and pickaxe.

+1 if xenos get the ability to dig through walls too. The caves are horrible for gameplay.

Mining tools are SUPPOSED to be removed from the map, we just haven't done it yet.

Asking this to be locked.
