They're ok, but really lacking in critical things to do in a fight. I hear devs talk about them like gosh, xenos should prioritize these RTO dudes and celebrate when they kill one, but... they're just a glorified PFC. They're not dangerous and they're not very unique. Xenos are happy when they kill a spec, but they're never going to care about a PFC that can phone people vs the guy that can gib you in one shot.
The drop pods are a neat idea but they simply don't need to be used more than 2-3x per round, if that. If the pod deployments had defensive or offensive uses by themselves, maybe RTO's would actually be meta targeted for being dangerous, but as it stands? They're not dangerous (in fact, less dangerous than a typical PFC carrying more guns/ammo) and by the time a xeno has a chance at killing one, they've already done the job they needed to do.
Overall its a nice addition for roleplaying, aesthetic and the theme of the game, but more thought needed to be put into the actual gameplay of this job.
