RadarStatic - 1/27/2016 The wording on this page is AWFUL. I'll be using this space to edit it until I'm satisfied. RadarStatic2 - 1/28/16 I FUCKED IT, AND I FORGOT MY PASSWORD FOR MY FIRST ACCOUNT. RIP ME. Continuing to use this second account until I can figure out the password to the original one.

MARINE
Specialist	Difficulty: Hard Supervisors: Squad Leader Rank: Not defined Duties: Employ special weapons, explosives and equipment. Guides: N/A Unlock Requirements: Not available. Detailed Description: |__________| Not defined |__________|

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.

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 your ID in its slot. Among the other supplies it vends, it has a specific coin: This is how you dispense the weapon of your choice -and you may only take one. The vendor contains the following:

• M42C Scout Rifle,

The M42C is a high-precision, scoped rifle, generally employed in both scouting and sniping use. Ensure that you have a clear lane of fire before you take a shot.

• M92 Grenade Launcher,

• M83 SADAR with HE or AP rockets,

• 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 their power supply. The HUD has built-in meson and thermal scanners, allowing target acquisition in complete darkness, and easy IFF in combat situations. Unlike the more traditional smartgun, this one fires high-caliber, self-guiding rounds that will never hit another marine, making it an ideal support weapon.

• M240 Incineration launcher.

• High Tech Personal Combat Armour.
