Squad Specialists are generally promoted during boot camp from marines who show an aptitude for leadership and tactical skills. Like all marines, the specialist's weapon is treated like an extension of themselves and as such, specialists know their chosen firearm, inside and out.

Some drops, you kick in the door and find out that the distress call was a false alarm. Other days you drop in and clear the problem and move on. Some drops, you gotta kill the whole damn planet. That's where you (the Specialist) come in. Each squad is deployed with a single specialist trained in the use of a squad support weapon. These range from the M42A Scoped Rifle to the devastating M5 RPG.
The Person with the Big Guns (Intro)
As the Squad's Weapon Specialist, you have access to a variety of heavier weapons than your squadmates, and are expected to understand when and when not to deploy them.

Like all marines, the specialist's weapon is treated like an extension of themselves and as such, specialists know their chosen firearm, inside and out.
Equipment
The Weapons 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 is the ability to vend a single specialist kit of your choice. It also contains a webbing and pouches to carry more ammo and pocket-sized equipment on the move. Keep in mind you can only use the specialist kit you choose.

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.
Abilities:
Aimed Shot
A togglable ability that allows the sniper to fire a boosted shot. Can only be used while in full stealth. Displays a lock-on on the target and channels for 1.25 seconds + 0.05 for every tile away from the target, then automatically fires at the target if the bullet has a chance to connect (No turf/blocking structure in the way/ Line of sight is still there). The shot is homing, though somewhat dodge-able if they can get an obstacle between them in time. If the shot connects with the intended recipient, the projectile does a critical hit depending on the ammunition.
To activate an aimed shot on a target, middle click your opponent. As long you have a clear line of sight to the target, you'll be able to fire it.
The time to lock on is cut in half by aiming at a spotted target or using a laser, and with both it will be 65% faster.
Toggle Laser
A togglable ability that interacts with your aimed shot and gives you a visible laser to the target. This laser will reveal your position, however will also boost Aimed Shot speed; making it 50% faster without a spotter, and 15% faster with a spotter mark.
Once activated, it will automatically trigger when you use Aimed Shot on a target.
Holds fifteen (15) 10x28mm Flak sniper rounds. Upon impact with the target, the round will have an Area of Effect, hitting other nearby targets near the original.
Aimed Shot: 108 Damage, slow down and no flak AOE.

Holds eighteen (18) 9mm Wall Piercing squash-head pistol rounds. Able to penetrate through up to 6 solid non-indestructible walls and people/aliens alike.
Holds eighteen (18) 9mm Toxin squash-head pistol rounds. Temporarily lowers alien armour through every hit with a maximum of 75 toxin applicable. Once the toxin level is above their armour, they will receive full damage from all sources.
An activatable ability that allows the user to camouflage themselves. After 4 seconds uninterrupted by anything, enter a cloak-like state. You will be granted IFF protection against friendly bullets as well as allowing anyone to walkthrough you. The user becomes near-invisible when activated. Moving breaks the cloak entirely, and shooting make you more slightly visible for 5 seconds. The shooting visibility debuffs stack and only resets once you stop firing for 5 seconds to slowly fade back into near-invisibility.

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 Aliens back.
Combat Engineers start with 2 of these in their vendors at round start. Corporate Commando Units start with one as well.
Exploding in a 30 degrees directional cone with concentrated jagged shrapnel. M74 - Airburst Grenade Munition - Fragmentation. This grenade must be launched with a grenade launcher, and detonates once it reaches its destination. It disperses jagged shrapnel in a cone in front of itself, tearing through sinews and armor alike. Dispersion pattern is optimized against large target. Suffers from overpenetration on a direct hit.
You get six of these in a rig. Order more via cargo or your vendor.
Exploding in a 60 degrees directional cone with concentrated flaming shrapnel spread and a cone of fire. M74 - Airburst Grenade Munition - Incendiary. This grenade must be launched with a grenade launcher, and detonates once it reaches its destination. It disperses a cone of lingering flames in a small area in front of it. The warped pieces of the grenade can also set fire as they fly away.
You get three of these in a rig. Order more via cargo or your vendor.

Demolitionist Loadout
This Loadout contains plastic explosive, and a devastatingly powerful rocket launcher known as the M5 RPG, capable of loading the most powerful -and dangerous - pieces of ordnance available to marine infantry in the form of either high explosive, armor piercing or white phosphorus 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, with the WP rockets igniting the tile it hits, turning that tile and the tiles surrounding into all-consuming blue fire that can kill quickly. Unlike the grenade launcher, M5 RPG ammo is more scarce, as well as the M5 RPG being more unwieldy and only holding a single rocket at a time, needing to be reloaded in-between each shot.
Equipment:
Description:
M5 RPG
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 high damage to soft targets on direct hit and stuns most targets in a 5-meter wide area for a short time. Has decreased effect on heavily armoured targets.
Deals average damage to target on direct hit. Affects most of armoured targets due to increased penetration characteristics. Deals very little to no splash damage. Inflicts guaranteed stun to most targets. Has high accuracy within 7 meters, that drastically drops beyond that range.
Has two damaging factors. On hit disperses X-Variant Napthal (blue flames) in a 4-meter radius circle, ignoring cover, while simultaneously bursting into highly heated shrapnel that ignites targets within slightly bigger area.
A massive, formidable automatic handgun chambered in 9mm rounds and contains 14 squash-head pistol rounds in the magazine. In addition, this sidearm has 2-burst capabilities.
Holds eighteen (18)) 9mm cluster squash-head pistol rounds. Designed to attach tiny explosives to targets, to detonate all at once when more than 15 cluster bombs are attached to the target.

C4 Explosive Charge
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 its 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.
Pyrotechnician Loadout
This loadout contains the M240-T Incinerator which utilises two experimental fuel types to give it an edge over any foe the user encounters. The Pyrotechnician also comes in with highly flame-retardant armor that can brave through flames more than any armor that the user can offer. The loadout is best either for AoD (Area of Denial) or for slow pushes.
Equipment:
Description:
M240-T Incinerator
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. For the ability to swap between fuel tanks on the fly, you must have the Broiler-T flexible refueling system equipped in order to use it. Otherwise you can load it like a normal flamethrower.
This is only available for Specialists using the Pyrotechnician Loadout.
It is advised to attach a magnetic harness to the M240-T because it will attach itself to the Boiler-T when dropped.
Holds two hundred and fifty units (250) worth of ultra thick napthal. This will set ablaze any and all targets hit. Has a range of five (5) tiles and will deal thirty (30) damage a second.
Holds two hundred and fifty (250) units of Napthal Fuel type B.
A large fuel tank of Ultra Thick Napthal Fuel type B, this stuff shoots far and wide, burning up quickly but reducing the armor and speed of any targets hit due to its chemical composition. Handle with care. Will deal fifteen (15) damage a second.
Holds two hundred and fifty (250) units of Napthal Fuel type X. Utilises X-Variant Napthal which is a lot stronger than its counterparts and has a longer range. Has a range of six (6) tiles and will deal forty (40) damage a second.
A custom helmet from the M3 series designed to be highly flame retardant.
M35 Armor
A custom piece of M3 armor designed to be highly flame retardant.

In order to activate fire walk yourself, go to the Pyro tab and click Activate-Fire-Shield, you may also assign a Macro to toggle the ability as well.
Allows the user to also walk through fire without being set on fire even when Fire Walk is not activated.
Though you'll still take damage from the fire.
