''"LET'S ROCK!"'' ―Pvt. Vasquez, ''Aliens''

Sometimes, you need a heavier tool to do the job, however, not anybody have the skills and trying to use them. Each squad has one Specialist specially trained for the use of special equipment, ranging from sniper rifles to missile launchers.

==Introduction==
The specialist is a squad's assigned support role. They have access to a variety of heavier weapons than your squadmates, and they are expected to understand when -and when not to- deploy them. Specialists are also expected not to rely on their special gear - a squad's Specialist should have a greater understanding of tactics and should be able to act somewhat autonomously without command or a Squad Leader. Specialists also undergo special training, and are generally promoted from marines who show exemplary leadership and tactical skills, as well as at some aptitude for mechanics: each specialist is expected to maintain their chosen firearm, inside and out.

==Equipment==
The Specialist has their own ready-room within their squad's larger bay. It contains a single locker and vendor. The locker contains the same gear as any other marine's, however the Weapons Vendor is specific to the Specialist. it will not work without proper access. Among the other supplies it vends, it has a specific token: This gives the specialist access to a single weapon of their choice. The vendor contains the following:

====Normal equipment====
* 1 Specialist Token

* 1 Webbing

* 2 Plastic Explosives

* 2 Frag Grenades

* 2 Incendiary Grenades

* 1 M240 Incinerator Unit

* 3 M240 Fuel Tanks

* 1 M56 Power Pack

* 1 Riot Shield

====Restricted token equipment====

* [[File:ScoutRifle.png|32px]] M42C Scout Rifle
The M42C is a high-power, precision, scoped rifle, generally employed in both scouting and sniping use. The box contains firearm itself, a set of scout-sights, and three seven-round magazines, in addition to one in the rifle. The firearm supports muzzle and underbarrel attachments, as well as the magnetic harness. The rounds are traditional rifle rounds -they do not avoid marines like the Smartgun's- so clearly-defined lanes of fire are necessary with this weapon.

* [[File:GrenadeLauncher.png|32px]] M92 Grenade Launcher
A midpoint between a shotgun and the rocket launcher, the grenade launcher is a two-handed weapon that can hold and fire up to five grenades of any variety. This weapon also has a inbuilt auto-lock system preventing the fired grenades from detonating if they hit a target that is too close to the weapon handler.

* [[File:SADAR.png|32px]] M83 SADAR
A reloadable, single shot rocket launcher. This weapon carries the most powerful -and dangerous- ordnance available to marine infantry in the form of either high explosive or armor piercing rockets. Where HE rockets are effective against tight groups of hostile targets, the AP rockets deal little actual splash damage but they deal immense damage to a single target. Unlike the grenade launcher, SADAR ammo is more scarce, as well as the SADAR being more unwieldy to employ. Note: The SADAR has a safety system which prevents it's activation on space-stations or ships.

* [[File:Spec.png|32px]] M56 Smart Gun
The model of 'Smartgun' issued to the Sulaco is different from the more popular auto-targeting model. The M56 'Smartgun' is actually a four-part system, consisting of a combat harness, ammunition and power pack, Heads-Up Display, and the Smartgun itself. The backpack contains five belts of fifty rounds each, in addition to the weapon's inexhaustible power supply. The HUD functions similarly to meson scanners and night vision goggles, allowing target acquisition in complete darkness, and easy Identification- Friend or Foe in combat situations. Unlike the more traditional Smartgun, this one fires high-caliber, self-guiding rounds that avoid marines, making it an ideal support weapon.

*B18 Experimental Armor
The final option in your vendor, this armor consists of the chestpiece and auxillary protectors, a helmet, and gauntlets. This armor has the best personal protection of any armor the Marines can get; it has a very high armor value and three tricordrazine auto injectors. In addition, the helmet can block three facehuggers before breaking. It also is incredibly ballistic-resistant, and it does provide some heat-proofing as well.

"''How do I get out of this chickenshit outfit?''"- Hudson, Aliens

You are a grunt marine of the United States Colonial Marine Corps, you follow your superiors orders and don't ask too many questions.
 
==== Cog In The Machine ====
----
If you haven't read the [[Marine Quickstart Guide]], maybe read that first.

As a Standard Marine you will be assigned to one of four squads. Each squad has a color: Alpha is RED, Bravo is YELLOW, Charlie is PURPLE, Delta is BLUE. You start the round having just woken up from cryogenic sleep, you'll need to get something to eat before going to gear up. To eat and drink, hold food or drink in an active hand and click yourself in the center of the screen.
 
===== This is my rifle =====
Once you've eaten, your next task will be to suit up and prepare for the mission. Go down to your team's locker room and open any locker. Put everything on. Once you've suited up, get back to the weapon vendors and start gearing up.
 
As a standard marine you have access to five firearms, two primary, one secondary and two sidearms. You can only easily carry one primary weapon but can carry multiple secondary and sidearms. Your primary weapons are two-handed meaning you must carry them in both hands in order to fire them (unless you use a gyroscopic attachment). To wield a weapon with two hands, click it while it's in your active hand. Secondary weapons and sidearms are one handed. In addition, your primary weapons will only fit in your armour slot, you cannot put them in your backpack. You can sling a primary weapon on your backpack slot, which is not a bad idea since you can use webbing and your Marine belt to carry ammo. This allows you to carry two primary or secondary weapons into battle, such as a SMG and a M41A.
 
* [[File:M4a3.png|32px]] Pistol -- '''Sidearm.''' Easily carryable sidearm this weapon has a slow rate of fire and deals mediocre damage, but is a reliable fallback weapon in a worst case scenario can can be placed in your pockets or other small containers. 12 Bullets

* [[File:44magnum.png|32px]] Magnum -- '''Sidearm''' Powerful pistol capable of dealing a lot of damage, but suffers from having similar weight to the SMG. Consider getting a holster webbing to carry this on your jumpsuit if you take one, however this weapon is oft used by [[Specialist|Specialists]] wielding very heavy weapons. 7 Bullets

* [[File:M39.png|32px]] SMG -- '''Secondary''' Usually used as a primary weapon for [[Specialist|Specialists]], this can make a acceptable fallback weapon in a pinch. Suffers from dealing low damage to targets and being ineffective against high tier aliens. 35 Rounds

* [[File:Shotgun.png|32px]] Shotgun -- '''Primary''' Good for close encounters. Powerful weapon that can deal a lot of damage to any target. Suffers from having to reload each shell individually as well as having to cock the gun after each shot. 8 Shells

* [[File:M41a.png|32px]] Pulse Rifle -- '''Primary''' Overall robust and effective long arm. Deals good damage against most targets and is overall a reliable gun, upgrades from attachments can further increase the power of this weapon.. 30 Rounds.
 
===== Your Squad =====
As a Marine your squad is your lifeblood. If you go out alone, you will die quickly. You may not like it, but do whatever you can to stick togther with your team's [[Squad Leader]] at all times. Your Squad Leader can communicate directly with high command, allowing him to quickly relay orders to you. In addition he can order in orbital supply drops and orbital artillery strikes.
 
===== [[Marine_Equipment#Weapon_Attachments|Attachments]] =====
As a Standard Marine you are given the privilege of having access to two attachments from Cargo, to get these attachments you must go to the Cargo bay, located to the east of the mess hall, '''AFTER''' you have suited up in your gear, Cargo will not serve you if you rock up in your pyjamas.
 
Again, because you're a Standard Marine you have the '''LOWEST''' priority in weapon attachments, this means virtually everyone above you in roll has priority access to more valuable attachments. Do not expect to get the good stuff, items such as the Barrel Charger or Red Dot Sight are all but out of your reach.
 
Listed below are some simple attachment set-ups to start you off. These are for the M41A Rifle, but you can customise virtually any weapon.
 
* ''Bayonet/Rail Light'' - This loadout is free, in that you do not need to order these attachments from cargo. The Bayonet can be made by attaching some wires to a Combat Knife, while the Rail Light can be made be using a screwdriver on a stock Flashlight (check the briefing room for these).

* ''Bayonet/Red Dot sight/Forward Magazine Grip'' - While it might take a hard dice roll to squeeze a Red Dot Sight from the RO, this loadout is a stock and simple loadout that maximizes your accuracy, thus allowing you to accurately hit even the smallest of Xenos at the longest of ranges, while allowing you to deal a respectable amount of melee damage.

* ''Extended Barrel/Rail Light/Gyroscopic Stabilizer''- This loadout allows you to fire your M41A with one hand instead of two, thus granting you a massive tactical advantage. For example, you can still fire you weapon even if you lose a arm. The Gyro Stabilizer serves to make the weapon one handed while the Extended Barrel cancels out the accuracy penalty of the Stabilizer.
 
Be sure to examine the [[Marine_Equipment#Weapon_Attachments|attachments page]] to get a overview of all the attachments in the game. When you feel comfortable (and you promote yourself to a more difficult role), experiment with weapon attachments for your guns.
 

==== Center Mass For Fuck's Sake ====
----
When engaging hostile targets ALWAYS AIM FOR THE CHEST. Your marine armour is designed to block incoming bullets, meaning if accidently fire on a friendly (which will happen a lot versus Aliens) you'll deal little to no damage against fellow marines. However if you aim for the head you'll deal significant damage as a marine's helmet offers little protection against ballistic attacks.
 
Being shot in the head usually forces the victim to be pulled of the battlefield and be sent off for a surgical operation to correct the wound. Whereas being shot in the chest is usually just an annoyance, you can still break bones and cause organ damage however...
 
Aliens DO take additional damage from head shots, but you should still try to aim to the chest instead of head
 

==== Standard Marine Tactics ====
------
# Stick with your squad at all times, a lone Marine is a easily ambushed Marine. Your first priority is to stay alive.
# Consider offering to help out other more specialized marines, such as offering to carry extra engineering, medical, or specialist supplies.
# Talk a lot! The more you communicate with your squad, the more information your squad AND command gets. Command has a hard time understanding the situation on the ground. Help those eggheads out.
# Consider taking a Tricordazine Injector to help you get on your feet if you get attacked and swiped/shot.
# In combat, avoid getting stuck in tight quarters or darkness. Use your weapon to shoot away resin walls and open up the combat area. Aliens are less deadly if they're forced to fight in open ground or bright light. Fighting in a open arena gives you more room to dodge.
