"Independently targeting particle beam phalanx. Vwap! Fry half a city with this puppy. We got tactical smart missiles, phased plasma pulse rifles, RPGs, we got sonic electronic ball breakers! We got nukes, we got knives, sharp sticks... " ―Pvt. Hudson, Aliens
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 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. Specialists are expected to not rely on their special gear but his or her greater understanding of tactics. 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.
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 is a token that allows the specialist to requisition to a single weapon of their choice. It also contains a webbing to carry more ammo and pocket-sized equipment on the move.
Specialist Loadouts
Scout Loadout
The Scout Loadout contains the M4RA Battle Rifle, a mid powered battle rifle with X A19 magazine/s. The loadout also comes equipped with a set of custom armour that allows better movement speed. Finally the loadout is equipped with a prototype backworn Cloak that can render the user nearly invisible for a short period of time.
Sniper Loadout
Like the Scout Loadout, the Sniper Loadout also contains the M42A Scoped Rifle, a high powered sniper rifle with one marksman magazine, one Incendiary magazine and one flak magazine as well as the 88 Mod 4 pistol, with two magazines. Lastly the sniper loadout comes with binoculars, along with the standard M3 sniper smock, recon armour, durag, scoutsight and face paint.

M42A Scoped Rifle |
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. 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.
| ||||||
88 Mod 4 |
A powerful sidearm issued mainly to Weyland-Yutani response teams, but also issued to the USCM in small numbers. Based on the original VP70 more than a century ago. Fires 9mm armour piercing pistol rounds and is capable of 3-round burst. Ammunition: | ||||||
M3 Sniper's Smock |
A specially designed smock with pockets for all your sniper needs. Has the capacity of the backpack, but works like a satchel. Wear on back. | ||||||

A custom modified set of M3 Armor designed for recon missions. Allows more mobility to the wearer. | ||||||

Heavy Grenadier Loadout
This Loadout contains both the M92 Grenade Launcher and it's grenade belt. The M92 is 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.
In addition, this loadout also contains the B18 Experimental Personal Armor. 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 is incredibly ballistic-resistant, and it does provide some heat-proofing as well.

M92 Grenade Launcher |
The grenade launcher is a two-handed weapon that can hold and fire up to six 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. Comes loaded with four HE grenades, and a HIDP grenade. One extra spot is avaliable for grenades.

B18 Experimental Personal Armour |
This Armour has the best personal protection of any armour the Marines can get, as it has a very high damage soak value and two tricordrazine auto injectors built into the wristguards, accessible with the verb "Create-Injector". Comes with heavily armoured defensive gauntlets, as well as a heavily armoured B18 helmet. | ||||||||
M276 pattern M40 HEDP rig |
The M276 is the standard load-bearing equipment of the USCM. It consists of a modular belt with various clips. This version is designed to carry bulk quantities of M40 HEDP Grenades. You spawn with two of these inside your heavy grenadier case. These fit on your belt slot if you wish to carry grenades like that.

Demolitionist Loadout
This Loadout contains some grenades, mines, and a devistating, reloadable, single shot rocket launcher known as the M5 RPG. This weapon carries the most powerful -and dangerous- 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. Whereas the WP rockets will ignite the tile it hits, turning that tile and the tiles surrounding into extremely hot areas that can kill quickly. Unlike the grenade launcher, M5 RPG ammo is more scarce, as well as the M5 RPG being more unwieldy to employ. Note: The M5 RPG has a safety system which prevents it's activation on space-stations or ships.

M5 RPG Rocket Launcher |
A reloadable, single shot rocket launcher. This weapon carries the most powerful ordnance available to marine infantry in the form of either High Explosive, Armour 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. It cannot be fired on the Almayer. This is only available for Specialists using the Demolitionist Loadout.

The minimum time that can be set on a charge is 10 seconds and detonates in a 1.5 meter radius.You start with two of these. | ||||||
M20 Claymore anti-personnel mine |
The M20 Claymore is a directional proximity triggered anti-personnel mine designed by Armat Systems for use by the United States Colonial Marines. Used for exploding aliens who run over it. Mostly used for killing survivors and exploding dead aliens. You start with two of these. |
