The Colonial Marines are equipped with the best equipment around, well with what a couple thousand credits can buy, at least. They have a load-out of a lot of equipment.
Standard Marine Weapons
The marines get the choice of five weapons. They range from a pistol to a heavy M41A. The marines are equipped with guns for any situation they encounter, no matter what the threat will be. When using any weapon it is best to aim for the chest. This is because in case you accidentally hit a marine with a stray bullet they will take less damage. On a side note, aiming for the head only increases damage against ravagers. Unless you are 1v1ing a ravager, always aim at the chest because aiming anywhere else results in an accuracy penalty (that stacks with other ones). Armor Piercing ammo is unique in that it does moderately less damage overall in exchange for increased armor penetration. It is only effective against armored foes. Using it against unarmored foes will result in a large drop in damage instead. It also has a very high chance to break bones and rupture internal organs, which is ineffective against xenos but extremely deadly against humans.

Comes loaded with a HE rocket. It cannot be fired on the Almayer. |

Weapon Attachments
Marines can acquire attachments for weapons. Most attachments must be acquired via the Requisitions Officer located in the center of the Almayer's lower deck. Most ROs usually only give one or two attachments to most marines, though some may grant more to squad leaders, medics, engineers, or specialists. Being polite to the Requisitions staff might get you extra stuff. Say please and thank you.
Most guns have three attachment locations: the rail, under barrel and the muzzle. Each location allows only one attachment at a time. Most attachments offer an advantage and some disadvantage.
The statistics for attachments are subject to change and will most likely change often. Until they do change, this page will be up to date on the statistics on each attachment.
