Detailed Description: |__________|

You can serve a variety of roles, so choose carefully.
|__________|

"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 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.

This armor has the best personal protection of any armor the Marines can get; it has a very high armor value and explosion resistance. In addition, the helmet is incredibly ballistic-resistant, and it does provide some heat-proofing as well.

Equipment:

Description:

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 an Alien. Comes loaded with five HE grenades. One extra spot is available for grenades.

This weapon is able to fire through marines and aliens alike, allowing it to bombard the enemy.

This weapon has a minimum range of two tiles in front of you, if you try and fire at a closer range you will not be able to.

**Ammunition:**
M15 Fragmentation Grenade	An outdated USCM Fragmentation Grenade. With decades of service in the USCM, the old M15 Fragmentation Grenade is slowly being replaced with the slightly safer M40 HEDP.

M40 HEDP Grenade	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.
M40 HEFA Grenade	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.
M40 HIDP Incendiary Grenade	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.
M74 AGM-F 40mm Grenade	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.

Demolitionist Loadout

This Loadout contains mines, and a devastating, 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.

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.

**Ammunition:**
High Explosive (HE) Rocket	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 armored targets.
Anti-Armor (AA or AP) Rocket	Deals average damage to target on direct hit. Affects most of armored 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.
White Phosphorous (PHS) Rocket	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.

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.

**Ammunition:**
Incinerator Tank	Holds sixty (60) units worth of ultra thick napthal. This will set ablaze any and all targets hit.
