WHAT TO LOOT, HOW TO RESUPPLY ON THE FIELD - WIP

Post by Avalanchee » 26 Sep 2018, 14:19

Are you tired of running out of Ammo?

Are ammo rigs and extended magazines not enough for you?
Image Image


Are you pissed off because you can't get those bad boys in REQ or anywhere else?
Image Image Image


NO FEAR BROTHER, I GOT YOU!


Let's start off with some basic looting tips,



AH SHIT, AM OUTTA AMMO AND LIZARDS ARE ALL OVER THE FUCKING PLACE AND I MANAGED TO HIDE IN THE CAVES.
OH, I SEE SOME DEAD MARINES!


Focus on the things you need the most
Meds > Ammo > NVGs/Gadgets > Storage Space > Attachements > CoSmEtiCs


Armor
  • people often carry spare Mags or AP mags they get from REQ in there.

Belt
  • Ammo
Image
Eyes
  • Scout/Sniper sights
Image
Back
  • Usually a secondary gun, might have attachements on it or AP loaded (M41)
Image
Dead Kesserline
  • Claymores and a Gyro
ImageImageImageImage
Dead Smartgunners
  • 50/50 chance that you'll get a Barrel Charger
ImageImage
Dead Specialists
  • Demo has the M3-T Armor and Sniper the Recon M3 Armor - both give you a massive speed boost.
ImageImageImageImage
Dead Murray
  • AP mags in the Armor, Usually an Angled Grip on both M37/M41, 50% chance of a barrel charger
ImageImageImage
Dead Murry
  • machete, webbing, one HE, and one M4 AP magazine
ImageImage
Dead Alpha Marines
  • Aids
Image

Make sure to loot the colony, loot the lockers and armories - they always have the good stuff in them (Prison Armory, Big Red Armory, Ice Armory, LV Armory or Security lockers..)
  • Inci. Slugs, Black Webbings, M15 granades, MAR40s and other goodies.
ImageImage
Make sure to save ammo boxes, backpacks and other stuff filled with supplies that got left behind.
  • IMP Backpacks and satchels, quickly check them by dragging them on your sprite

item is melting? use it while you can.
  • Found a HPR covered in Acid? use it while you can.
Refill magazines, click on the magazine with your empty hand and you will grab 8 bullets from it, you can shove them in a different magazine afterwards.
  • Grabbing rounds from M41 magazines and refilling HPR mags takes a while but it's better than going shipside to bother REQ
Loot only people that are DEAD, like DEAD DEAD otherwise you are a scumbag
and make sure to loot my corpse, I spend 30% of my gameplay scavenging for loot to be the ultimate powergamer that is running around in shorts with a Pred Mask, NVGs, 10 AP mags, BC M41, Mateba holster and a MK221 on his back.

Well, I always keep splints on my person no matter what combat role I play, in case that's ever relevant.
Usually playing as Darwin 'D.J.' Jefferson, PFC (Private: Flare Carrier), or Smartgunner almost always out of ammo. Occasionally an RO who yearns for death, dealing with rampant jackassery of his coworkers.
Against my better judgement I decided to start making Youtube videos involving Colonial Marines. Channel

Literally my favorite part of being on the field is when someone goes, "Man, I wish I wasn't out of this."

It gives me incentive to let loose my inner scavenger, and I can typically find junk pretty quickly. Retrieving bodies isn't just useful because they can be defibbed, it's useful because they have equipment. You never know which PFC has managed to scrounge up C4 for themselves or Tac-binos, either, so it's good to be thorough.

Just sayin'. Good guide.
Hiya. I'm the player for Axel "Jackal" Freund, Battlefield Scavenger and War Hero extraordinaire. I also play Alexander, the sycophantic mimic Synthetic.
