Overview

Welcome Muffin's loadouts. A selection of marine loadouts that are tailored to a very specific style of play. Found here will be a variety of equipment and strategies I use when playing as the standard grunt marine.

Squad Marine Loadouts

Jack of all Trades Rifleman

This loadout is aimed at covering as many areas as possible when fighting any target at normal screen range. Your main strengths are that you can adapt to whatever the enemy throws at you but you won't be able to specialise into any specific scenario.

Rifleman loadout

Weapon:

Loadout:

M41A Pulse Rifle MK2

Attachments Used

Rail Flashlight	Bayonet	Angled Grip	OR	U7 Underbarrel Shotgun

Strategy

Your M41A Pulse Rifle is your primary weapon. This will be used to shoot at pretty much everything outside of shotgun range. Just like the squad marine itself, this weapon is versatile.

Your positioning with the rifle is key. The enemy must be beyond 2 tiles away from you to use this weapon effectively. Because if they get into melee range, that's where the shotgun or the under barrel shotgun comes into play. The rifle is best suited at peppering the enemy with enough bullets to hopefully kill them or at best, push them back to heal

The attachment of either the angled grip or the under barrel shotgun is up to you. I prefer to use the angled grip most of the time because I don't like wield delay. But the utility of the under barrel shotgun allows you to breach into resin walls and doors very easily. Since resin structures are so prevalent on the field I would recommend the under barrel shotgun for clearing them out. The Rail Light is objectively good with no downsides as it allows you to see more of the darkness. Because being able to see your enemy allows you to shoot them.

M37A2 Pump Shotgun

Attachments Used

Magnetic Harness	Bayonet	Mini Flamethrower

Equipment:

Loadout:

M10 Pattern Helmet

Storage Slots

Emergency Auto-Injector	FREE SLOT

M3 Pattern Personal Armor

Storage Slots

Splints	Ointment	Gauze

M276 Pattern Ammo Load Rig

Storage Slots

	5 x M41A Magazines (Any type)

Brown Webbing Vest

Storage Slots

	5 x Handfuls of Buckshot

Flare Pouch

Having flares allows you to extend your viewable range and decreases the darkness around you and your fellow marines. Reducing the darkness around you removes concealment, which is an advantage xenos have. You can not see the enemy if they are in the dark, but they can certainly see you.

Removing their concealment allows you to shoot at them making it so an advantage they have is lost.

First Aid Pouch (Injectors)

Taking the refillable injectors First Aid Pouch allows you to recover from a fight without the need to rely on medics to heal you. It isn't a replacement for medics, as they and anyone with medical skill 2 or above are the only ones able to revive you.

Storage Slots

Bicaridine	Kelotane	Tricord	Tramadol
