"Check it out. Independently targeting particle-beam phalanx. WHAP! Fry half a city with this puppy. We got tactical smart missiles, phase plasma pulse rifles, RPGs. We got sonic, electronic ball-breakers! We got nukes, we got knives, sharp sticks..." - Private Hudson, Aliens
The Colonial Marines are equipped with the best equipment around, well with what a couple thousand credits can buy, at least. They have a load-out of a lot of equipment.
Basic Weapon Parameters
The following are parameters most weapons have in some combination:
Accuracy: Determines the probability of a ranged weapon hitting a target when its projectiles enter the target's space. Melee weapons do not use this parameter and always hit their target if it's in range barring special exceptions, like shields and weapons that can deflect melee blows. Tends to decrease when a weapon is in burst mode. A projectile's accuracy normally decays with each tile traveled; the further a projectile moves, the less likely it is to hit a target. May or may not reduce damage falloff from distance traveled by a projectile (will not be confirmed by the Devs).
Armor Penetration: Determines the probability of a weapon bypassing the target's armor.
Burst Count: Determines how many shots are discharged per burst fire for any weapon with a burst fire mode.
Damage: Determines how much damage a weapon deals per attack/projectile. Further, this damage can differ between melee and ranged attacks if a weapon is capable of both.
Fire/Attack Rate: Determines how quickly the weapon can shoot/attack, and the delay between consecutive shots/attacks. A higher fire rate means a reduced delay between attacks.
Recoil: Determines the amount of screen shake that happens when a ranged weapon is fired. Has no direct adverse effect on Accuracy or Spread, though it can throw off the placement of your clicks.
Spread: Not to be confused with Accuracy; determines how much a projectile from a firearm can deviate from the intended target tile; higher spread equals more deviation. Tends to increase when a weapon is in burst mode.
Weapon Size: Determines what kind of container the weapon can fit into. Most weapons are 'bulky' in size and thus cannot fit into boxes or backpacks normally.
An M4A3 Service Pistol, the standard issue sidearm of the Colonial Marines. Fires 9mm pistol rounds.
This is one of two handguns that the marines have stocked in their combat prep vendors.
All Cargo Technicians start with one, including 3 Extended Magazines (One loaded) and a Hollowpoint Magazine.
A bulky revolver, occasionally carried by assault troops and officers in the Colonial Marines, as well civilian law enforcement. Fires .44 Magnum rounds. It's usually held in speed-loaders, and holds a maximum of 7 bullets.
The Armat Battlefield Systems M-39 submachinegun. Occasionally carried by light-infantry, scouts, engineers and medics. A lightweight, lower caliber alternative to the various Pulse weapons used the USCM. Fires 10x20mm rounds out of 48 round magazines.
The M39 uses 10x20mm SMG rounds, and holds 48 bullets with an optional 4-round burst fire mode.
This is the standard issue pulse rifle used by the Colonial Marines. A reliable, robust and overall effective standard issue weapon, the M41A must be held in two hands to accurately fire. Unlike the M41A MK1, which holds 95 rounds, the MK2 holds only 40 rounds but offers the user greater capabilities to customize their weapon with attachments. The M41A MK2 has 3-round burstfire capabilities as well as a standard-issue UGL which starts unloaded, but can be loaded and reloaded with grenades (ask RO for grenades). Chances are, the M41A Mk2 might jam and will fail to fire for a second.
A non-standard alternative to the standard issue M41A-MK2 available to the jarheads of the USCM. Renowned for its high accuracy, but usually overlooked in favor of firearms with better stopping power. Chambered in 10x24mm caseless. Can very quickly change barrel attachments.
Holds twenty (20) 10x24mm rifle rounds. Uses the same caliber bullets as standard M41A magazines, so can be refilled using bullets from standard M41A magazines.
Holds thirty five(35) 10x24mm rifle rounds. Holds more ammunition than the standard magazines. Uses the same caliber bullets as standard M41A magazines, so can be refilled using bullets from standard M41A magazines.
Holds twenty (20) 10x24mm AP rifle rounds. Has better armor penetration, but lower overall damage. Uses the same caliber bullets as armor piercing M41A magazines, so can be refilled using bullets from armor piercing M41A magazines.
An Armat Battlefield Systems Shotgun utilized by USCM Marines. This weapon is powerful in close quarters combat and is capable of killing even the strongest of hostile targets. Due to its sheer power, the M37A2 is capable of stunning even the mighty Xenomorph when fired from close range, but users should still keep in mind that the M37A2 must be pumped after every shot. There is no default hotkey for pumping the shotgun, though you can set up one as a Macro.
Single Slug Projectile. Effective in ranged combat. Armor Piercing. Less damage. Stuns and knocks back humanoid mobs for about 1 second out to 5 tiles. Holds 25 shells.
Fires multiple small projectiles. Deals massive damage, knocks back and stuns humanoid mobs for a random duration out to 2 tiles. Fires in a 15-degree radius. Holds 25 shells.
Single Slug Projectile. Will set ablaze any targets it hits. Rare, only found in certain planetside armories and in the Surplus Ammo Crate. Holds 25 shells.
Fires multiple shrapnel projectiles. Projectiles fan out in a cone 5 tiles in width out to a distance of 7 tiles. Consequently deals massive damage out to ~2 tiles, heavy to moderate damage out to ~3-5 tiles, and light damage at ~7 tiles. Doesn't stun or knock back. Holds 25 shells.
The standard issue survival knife issued to Colonial Marines. A sharp cutting tool that can be hidden in your marine combat boots or held in your teeth(Mask slot). Very useful for cutting through materials, but it should only to be used as a last resort against enemies. Applying cable coil to its grip allows the knife to be used as a regular Bayonet Attachment.
Latest issue of the USCM Machete. Unlike the Combat Knife, this can not slide on to marine boots, but it can fit on to your waist. Great for clearing out jungle or brush on outlying colonies. Found commonly in the hands of scouts and trackers, but difficult to carry with the usual kit. It comes with a scabbard which can fit on to your back, belt or armor.
It's only available in Cargo, SL prep, Spec prep, Engineering prep, and Smartgun prep.
A high power sniper rifle, this weapon deals a considerable amount of damage per bullet and is capable of attacking and hitting targets at extreme ranges, additionally it has in-built IFF meaning that it can be fired past USCM and corporate personnel without having to worry about friendly fire. It comes equipped with a high power scope allowing the user a wide range of vision. For drawbacks, this weapon is limited to fifteen rounds per magazine, a very obvious and loud firing noise, and the fact that it is wholly ineffective in close range combat as bullets fired too close to the user will miss.
This is only available for Specialists using the Sniper Loadout.
Holds fifteen (15) 10x28mm Flak sniper rounds. Upon impact with the target, the round will split into multiple small projectiles which hit adjacent targets as well as the original target.
The grenade launcher is a two-handed weapon that can hold and fire up to five grenades of any variety. The most lethal aspect of the grenade launcher is the stunning effect it has on even larger versions of a Xenomorph.
This weapon is only available for Specialists using the Heavy Grenadier Loadout.
This weapon is able to fire through marines and xenomorphs alike, allowing it to bombard the enemy.
This weapon has a minimum range of two tiles in front of you, if you try and fire at a closer range you will not be able to.
An outdated USCM Fragmentation Grenade. With decades of service in the USCM, the old M15 Fragmentation Grenade is slowly being replaced with the slightly safer M40 HEDP. It is set to detonate in 4 seconds. Slightly better radius than the M40 HEDP.
They're only available in by ordering Explosives crates from Cargo.
Exploding in a 5x5 radius, these Grenades also have the potential to damage nearby walls. Take care when using near structures leading to space or even near your own marines!
Both the Demolition Specialist and Heavy Grenadier Specialist have these grenades in their vendors at round start. More can be ordered in Cargo.
Explodes in a 5x5 blast radius with a large shrapnel range. High-Explosive Fragmenting-Antipersonel. A small, but deceptively strong fragmentation grenade that has been phasing out the M15 fragmentation grenades alongside the M40 HEDP. Extremely lethal near the epicenter of the explosion. Capable being loaded in the M92 launcher, or thrown by hand.
Exploding in a 5x5 radius, incendiary grenades are a powerful area of denial weapon that can deal immense damage to a hostile target if it's caught in the fire. The difference with this grenade is that its effects linger for a while making it useful in keeping Xenomorphs back.
Combat Engineers start with 2 of these in their vendors at round start. Corporate Commando Units start with one as well.
A reloadable, single shot RPG. This weapon carries the most powerful ordnance available to marine infantry in the form of either High Explosive, Armor Piercing, or White Phosphorus 84mm rockets. Operators should keep in mind that M5 RPG ammo is scarce, while the launcher itself can be unwieldy to deploy and take a few seconds to be ready to fire from a resting position. Operators should also keep in mind that the Almayer's M5 RPG model is reusable, but lacks an auto-tracking feature.
By default, the M5 RPG comes loaded with an HE rocket.
This is only available for Specialists using the Demolitionist Loadout.
Deals damage and stuns in a 4-meter wide area. Deals little additional damage on direct hit with a target. Ineffective against heavily armored targets.
Deals massive damage to any target hit directly by the rocket. Deals very little to no splash damage. Rocket MUST hit a target directly to do damage. Very effective against heavily armored targets.
Generates very high heat levels on target. High heat will generally kill any target if hit directly, as well as dealing burn damage to anyone nearby for a extended period, human or otherwise. Effective against heavily armored targets. Disperses X-Variant Napthal (blue flames) around the area hit, ignores cover.
An experimental designated marksman rifle of the USCM. Has a relatively slow rate of fire but deals slightly more damage per round while also possessing a functional burst fire mode. Uses special A19 high velocity rounds.
This is only available for Specialists utilizing the Scout Loadout.
A variant of the M240 Incinerator that was developed with extensive usage in mind and as such it's compatible with much larger incinerator tanks as well as two experimental fuel types: B and X each with their own set of unique attributes. The M240-T additionally allows for the usage of the M240's Incinerator tanks, so you never have to worry about running out of fuel during an operation.
This is only available for Specialists using the Pyrotechnician Loadout.
This version of the Mateba revolver is a limited edition produced for the USCM, and issued in extremely small amounts. Was a mail-order item back in 2172, and is highly sought after by officers across many different battalions. This one is stamped Major Ike Saker, 7th 'Falling Falcons' Battalion. This autorevolver (as well as its other variants) has a special execution attack that can be achieved by firing point blank into a human target as long as the target is still.
This special variant of the M4A3 Pistol has an ivory-colored grip and has a slide carefully polished yearly by a team of orphan children. Looks like it belongs to a low-ranking officer. It is slightly better than the M4A3 Service Pistol in terms of statistics, most notably firing speed.
Only Staff Officers start with one, including 3 Extended Magazines (one loaded) and a Hollowpoint Magazine.
A powerful sidearm issued mainly to company response teams, but also issued to the USCM in small numbers. Based on the original VP70 more than a century ago. Fires 9mm armor piercing pistol rounds and is capable of 3-round burst.
It is typically used by Specialists employing the usage of the Sniper/Scout Loadout, or the Corporate Liaison, Executive Officer, Tank Crewman and the Pilot Officer for self defence. This pistol can be ordered from the Personal Defense Kit at the standard marine automated closets. It is also a standard sidearm for Corporate PMCs.
The SU-6 Smartpistol is an IFF-based sidearm currently undergoing field testing in the Colonial Marines. Uses modified .45 ACP IFF bullets. Capable of firing in bursts.
A timeless classic since the first World War. Once standard issue for the USCM, now back order only. Chambered in .45 ACP. Unfortunately, due to the progression of IFF technology, M1911 .45 ACP is NOT compatible with the SU-6 smartpistol. More can be ordered by the Blackmarket crate.
A flare gun issued to JTAC operators to use with standard flares. Cannot be used with signal flares. Comes with a miniscope. One shot, one... life saved?
The most complicated weapon available to a marine. Sadly, the Smartgun lacks any auto-tracking capabilities. It does, however, have an impressive 500 round ammo pool to draw from the ammo pack with an additional 50 rounds pre-loaded into the smartgun, and has an inbuilt infrared sensor allowing great visibility in low-light conditions, deals a good amount of damage per bullet with a high rate of fire, has burst fire capabilities. Also has an automatic reloading system, and the coup de grace being that due to the gun's toggle-able complex targeting algorithms each bullet will not hit any fellow marine due to the enabled IFF tracking. This allows a Smartgun operator to fire freely through a group of marines without fear of hitting them. The Smartgun requires a special harness to lift and will automatically retract to the harness suit storage when the user is knocked down or else loses hold of the weapon. Like the M5 RPG, the user must stand still while reloading though this doesn't mean you can't carry on firing.
Carries five hundred (500) Smartgun rounds that passes through friendlies by an IFF (Identify Friend/Foe) system. Click the icon in the top left to reload your M56 and be sure to stand still while reloading. Notably can be refilled by restocking into the Requisition's Automated Munitions Vendor.
A unique company made semi-automatic shotgun with a rapid fire rate and an attached Underslung Grenade Launcher. Holds 8 shotgun shells in the chamber.
Can be found in the Military Police armory and each department's Red Alert armory. A few can be found in various planetside armories as well, notably Solaris Ridge's Lambda Labs, and Prison Station's Research Armory.
Fires multiple small projectiles. Powerful in close range. Massive damage, Rapid damage fall-off at longer ranges, 4 meter effective range. Fires in a 15 degree radius. Holds 25 shells.
Single Slug Projectile. Will set ablaze any targets it hits. Rare, only found in certain planetside armories and from certain crates orderable from Requisitions. Holds 25 shells.
Fires multiple shrapnel projectiles. Projectiles fan out in a cone 5 tiles in width out to a distance of 7 tiles. Consequently deals massive damage out to ~2 tiles, heavy to moderate damage out to ~3-5 tiles, and light damage at ~7 tiles. Doesn't stun or knock back. Holds 25 shells.
The ultra-deadly M240A1 is one of the most fearsome and savage weapons in the arsenal of the Colonial Marines. Firing extra-thick sticky napthal fuel from detachable fuel tanks, the M240A1 is able to both set hostiles ablaze and to section off an area with a wall of fire. For extended field operations, users of the M240A1 often find themselves refilling their tanks with whatever flammable material is available, with welding fuel being an effective and popular choice. Additionally, one can ask the Pyrotechnician to refill your empty fuel tanks. To turn on the pilot light, go to the weapon tab and click unique action. There is no default hotkey for activating the incinerator unit, though you can set up one as a Macro.
They can be found in the Squad Leaders Equipment vendor, PFC Kits or incinerators can be ordered from requisitions if required.
A large squad support weapon capable of laying down sustained suppressing fire from a mounted position. While unstable and less accurate, it can be lugged and shot with two hands. Like it's smaller brothers, the M41A MK2 and L42 MK1, the M41AE2 is chambered in 10mm. This can use M41A/L42 ammo, however the bullets must be transferred manually from the M41A/L42 mags into the M41AE2 Mags or by refilling it with an ammo box.
It can be ordered from Cargo via the LMG Crate or in Forward HPR Shield Kits.
An older design of the Pulse Rifle commonly used by Colonial Marines. Uses 10x24mm caseless ammunition. Holds 95 rifle rounds per magazine, but suffers from slightly less accuracy than the newer M41A MK2 and had less variety of attachments.
Three rifles can be found in the command armory on the Almayer as well as the Veteran Kits available at your Colonial Marines Automated Vendor. It is also one of the standard rifles for the Freelancer Mercenaries.
A long rectangular box of rounds that is only compatible with the older M41A MK1. Holds up to 95 rounds plus 1 in the chamber. Uses the same caliber as the new versions.
A special prototype M46C, designed to outperform the aging standard M41A. The rifle starts preloaded with an incendiary magazine. Property of the Commanding Officer. In addition to 3-round burstfire, this rifle is capable of firing 5-rounds in one burst which can be set after 3-round burstfire mode and is compatible to both M41A MK1 and M41A MK2 magazines. This does not apply to special magazines in the M41A weapons system such as the M4RA and the M41AE2.
Only available inside the Commanding Officer's secure box inside the Command Armory.
A long rectangular box of rounds that is only compatible with the older M41A MK1. Holds up to 95 rounds plus 1 in the chamber. Uses the same caliber as the new versions.
A secure box holding anti-personnel proximity mines. There are 4 M20 Claymore anti-personnel mines per mine box.
Deployment and Deactivation:
How To Deploy A Mine:
Take an M20 mine out of the box with an empty hand,
Stand on top of the tile you want to place the mine on,
Face the tile you want the mine to detect enemies on,
Click on the mine in your active hand.
Keep in mind that any mob that enters the mine's tile, or the tile it's facing, living or dead, will cause the mine to detonate unless they have an appropriate USCM/Corporate Dog-tag/ID.
How To Deactivate Mines:
Use a multitool on the deployed mine.
Tactics:
Deploy the mines where Marines will likely be present/guarding (and within view range), thus more likely to result in a kill.
The trigger area is two tiles, the mine's tile and the tile it's facing. Cover the whole two tiles corridor instead of leaving one tile open.
Conceal the mines with (lit) flare, empty flare box, wood plank, unfolded roller bed, empty backpacks, etc.
Deploy the mines facing north or west, because they can easily be concealed with a lit flare.
The Sentry Gun automatically tracks and fires upon any target that is wearing an ID not hooked up to the Almayer's systems. Via IFF, they are unable to hit friendly marines, allowing them to be safely placed behind marine lines as they lay down suppressing fire. Comes with various options, such as 10-round burst fire or single shot and firing arcs ranging between 180 degrees to 30 degrees for better range or field of fire. Has 500 bullets.
Ammunition:
M30 Box Magazine (10x28mm Caseless)

Manual, crew-operated mortar system intended to rain down 80mm goodness on anything it's aimed at. Has a minimum range of 10 tiles. Can only be obtained via Requisitions and the engineer system vendor.
Deals additional damage upon direct hits and provides a moderate napalm coverage of the surrounding area, additionally causes a small explosion upon impact.
Causes direct impact damage upon the tile hit after which it releases shrapnel in all directions.
Usage:
Anyone with Trained level of engineering can deploy the Mortar but you'll need Expert level of engineering to use it.
Recruit a squad member to be your spotter and make sure they have tactical binoculars.
Send your newly recruited spotter to ascertain coordinates of enemy positions. Once in your active hand click on the binoculars then Ctrl Click an enemy position and wait, once the binoculars beep you'll be given coordinates in chat.
Upon receiving the longitude and latitude coordinates, enter them into the Target section.
Note: After entering in a target the mortar will fire upon being loaded.
Load a flare shell and after it has fired notify your spotter to inform you of any corrections that need to be given. For more accurate spotter adjustments it's better to fire a smoke/flash shell as they both only leave an explosion mark on the impacted tile.
Once the spotter has relayed the corrections to you, enter them into the Dial section.
Note: The further away your target is the less accurate the mortar becomes so you will have to correctly offset it more.
Keep firing on that position until new coordinates are given.
Example: The flare lands and the spotter notices that it missed the targetted area by 4 tiles east and 3 tiles south and relays that to you. You would then dial the offset as -4 Longitude and 3 Latitude.
Dialing Graph:
Weapon:
Description:
To use a grenade, simply prime it by clicking it (or pressing Z if in hotkey mode) in your active hand then click the tile you want to throw the grenade to. Do NOT toggle throw mode after priming as priming a grenade automatically activates throw mode.
Do NOT throw or launch grenades diagonally if there is a marine or wall next to you, while bullets can fly diagonally past a wall, grenades can't and will bounce back to you.
There are two kinds of explosive grenades:
Blast: Standard explosive grenades that deal damage once they detonate.
Fragmentation: Grenades that explode into shrapnel hitting anything in a large radius, barricades block shrapnel, doing minimal damage.
WARNING: Many explosives are amplified in small and condensed rooms.
C4 is typically issued to Squad Leaders, Specialists (Using the Demolitions Loadout), Engineers and Responders. C4 is primarily used for quickly breaking into secure buildings, but it's also the most effective method to destroy alien tunnels. The minimum time that can be set on a charge is 10 seconds and detonates in a 1.5 meter radius. Combat Engineers and Squad Leaders start with 1 in their vendor though they can buy additional blocks for 5 points, Demolition Specialists and Scout Specialists start with 2 in their crate. Anyone with Trained level of engineering can plant C4.

Both the Demolition Specialist and Heavy Grenadier Specialist has these grenades in their vendors at round start. More can be ordered in Cargo.
Explodes in a 5x5 blast radius with a large shrapnel range. High-Explosive Fragmenting-Antipersonel. A small, but deceptively strong fragmentation grenade that has been phasing out the M15 fragmentation grenades alongside the M40 HEDP. Extremely lethal near the epicenter of the explosion. Be careful when using these, their potential for friendly fire is easy to underestimate. The shrapnel can carry a long way, and might just end up back in your face. Capable being loaded in the M92 launcher, or thrown by hand.
Exploding in a 5 tile diameter and a 3x3 tile square, incendiary grenades are a powerful area of denial weapon that can deal immense damage to a hostile target if it's caught in the fire.

A high power sniper rifle, this weapon deals immense damage per bullet and is capable of attacking and hitting targets at extreme ranges. It comes equipped with a high power scope allowing the user a wide range of vision. It also has an ID tracker to prevent non corporate personnel from using it. The IFF features for this weapon only work when the PMC team is spawned hostile to the USCM.
This weapon is limited to six supersonic rifle rounds per magazine, combined with a slow rate of fire, a very obvious and loud firing noise and the fact that it is ineffective in close range combat as bullets fired too close to the user will miss. However, despite these drawbacks, the M42C is an exceptionally effective weapon when properly utilized.
It is the standard sniper rifle for Corporate PMC snipers.
Significantly more powerful variant of the M41A Pulse Rifle. Only used by elite forces and black-op teams. This rifle deals more damage per rifle bullet.
It is the standard rifle for Corporate PMC Officers and Black Ops Commando Units.

Being polite to the Requisitions staff might get you extra stuff. Say please and thank you. The only exception is for the Rail Flashlight and Bayonet attachments, where it can be found in Marine Vendors inside your respective Prep rooms.
Most guns have three attachment locations: the rail, underbarrel and the muzzle. Each location allows only one attachment at a time. Most attachments offer an advantage and some disadvantage.
The statistics for attachments are subject to change and will most likely change often. Until they do change, this page will be up to date on the statistics on each attachment.

It is more expensive than the entire Almayer...probably.
A close-fitting cap that covers the top, back, and sides of the head. Can also be adjusted to cover the lower part of the face so it keeps the user warm in harsh conditions. Can not actually adjust the mask.
An armored balaclava designed to conceal both the identity of the operator and act as an air-filter. This particular suit looks like it belongs to a high-ranking officer.

A modified and refashioned suit of M3 Pattern armor designed to be worn by the loader of a USCM vehicle crew. While the suit is a bit more encumbering to wear with the crewman uniform, it offers the loader a degree of protection that would otherwise not be enjoyed.

A custom set of M3 armor packed to the brim with padding, plating, and every other form of ballistic protection under the sun. This armor is worn by Heavy Grenadier Specialists

A stealth modification of the UM5 is only available to selected operatives.
An extremely heavy duty set of body armor in service with the UPP military, the UH7 (Union Heavy MK7) is known for being a rugged set of armor, capable of taking immense punishment. Although the armor doesn't protect certain areas, it provides unparalleled protection from the front, which UPP engineers summarized as the most likely target for enemy fire. In order to cut costs, the head shielding in the MK6 has been stripped down a bit in the MK7, but this comes at much more streamlined production.
The hauberk of a colonist militia member, created from boiled leather and some modern armored plates. While not the most powerful form of armor, and primitive compared to most modern suits of armor, it gives the wearer almost perfect mobility, which suits the needs of the local colonists. It is also quick to don, easy to hide, and cheap to produce in large workshops.
This armor is worn by the Colonial Liberation Front.
