Weyland-Yutani PMCs are military personnel owned and operated by the company. They are equipped with advanced modern military equipment and weaponry akin to the USCM and similar national militaries.

Overview

Weyland-Yutani PMCs are the most similar ERT in playstyle to the US Colonial Marines, as PMCs operate similar weapons and equipment. Unlike the USCM, the PMCs are significantly better funded and equipped, thus they come with more powerful, but expensive, weapons and support equipment.

The PMCs operate under a more rigid command structure, with far more highly specialised roles dictating a soldiers designation in a squad, unlike the more flexible USCM Specialist system.

One advantage of the PMCs is that they're stronger than most ERT squads and they carry stronger weapons and equipment than all of the ERTs alike (Besides the Commandos). These people play on the offensive and they have Sniper and a Smartgunner to provide support for their fellow soldiers.

Backstory

Following the defeat of the Dust Raiders and the withdrawal of the United Americas of the Neroid sector, a group of employees became skilled mercenaries. They are part of Weyland-Yutani's Task Force Oberon that was stationed aboard the USCSS Royce, a powerful Weyland-Yutani cruiser that patrols the outer edges of the Neroid Secotr. Under the directive of Weyland-Yutani's board member Johan Almric, they act as private security for company science teams. The USCSS Royce contains a crew of roughly two hundred PMCs, and one hundred scientists and support personnel.

Rumors say that a Weyland-Yutani Special Task Force known as "Royal" of the USCSS Lunalorne are part of a different specialization, designed to capture anomalies associated with alien and supernatural life.

Standing Orders

Weyland-Yutani's PMC's are under the direct command of the Corporate Liaison, the primary objective of the PMC's is the survival of the Corporate Liaison. If the Liaison is dead they will report to the highest ranking Marine Officer alive. Once the safety of the Liaison is assured, the PMC's can either evacuate with the Liaison, or join the marine forces in an attempt to break the alien threat.

DO NOTE: There's a chance for the PMCs to be aware or unaware of the alien threat, the details are located in the backstory when you spawn.

Weyland-Yutani PMC Roles

PMC Role	Description
PMC Tactical Responder (PMC Standard)	Equipped with a standard issue M39B/2 Submachine gun with armor piercing ammunition or the M240 Incinerator Unit or the NSG 23 Assault Rifle. While they may appear as an underwhelming threat, their superior armor lets them soak a lot of damage and their SMG, Flamethrower or Assault Rifle is on par if not better than the M41A Mk2.
PMC Medical Specialist (PMC Medic)	Equipped with a standard issue M39B/2 Submachine gun with armor piercing ammunition and medical supplies to keep the team alive. Just like their USCM counterparts, they're able to heal most injuries sustained during combat.
PMC Support Specialist (PMC Gunner)	Equipped with a M56 Smartgun, better ammunition and reinforced armor. The PMC Gunner is capable of laying down a significant amount of firepower akin to USCM Smartgun. You do not have USMC IFF by default, your SG can kill a lot of marines if you don't understand this.
PMC Sniper (PMC Specialist)	Equipped with M42C Anti-Tank Rifle and sniper armor. Their unique sniper allows the PMC Sniper to deal massive amounts of damage in comparison to their USCM counterpart. For self defence they are equipped with the standard issue M39B/2. The Anti-Tank Rifle cannot pass through Marines and will kill them because of your lack of IFF by default.
PMC Team Leader (PMC Officer)	Commander of the PMC force. Equipped with an advance M41A/2 Battle Rifle and a VP78 Pistol. The Officer's job is to direct the PMC squad on their mission. The Officer, unlike their USCM counterpart, is significantly more well armed and thus a deadly combatant in the field.
