"Check it out. Independently targeting particle-beam phalanx. WHAP! Fry half a city with this puppy. We got tactical smart missiles, phase plasma pulse rifles, RPGs. We got sonic, electronic ball-breakers! We got nukes, we got knives, sharp sticks..." - Private Hudson, Aliens
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.
Basic Weapon Parameters
The following are parameters most weapons have in some combination:
Accuracy: Determines the probability of a ranged weapon hitting a target when its projectiles enter the target's space. Melee weapons do not use this parameter and always hit their target if it's in range barring special exceptions, like shields and weapons that can deflect melee blows. Tends to decrease when a weapon is in burst mode. A projectile's accuracy normally decays with each tile traveled; the further a projectile moves, the less likely it is to hit a target. May or may not reduce damage falloff from distance traveled by a projectile (will not be confirmed by the Devs).
Armor Penetration: Determines the probability of a weapon bypassing the target's armor.
Burst Count: Determines how many shots are discharged per burst fire for any weapon with a burst fire mode.
Damage: Determines how much damage a weapon deals per attack/projectile. Further, this damage can differ between melee and ranged attacks if a weapon is capable of both.
Fire/Attack Rate: Determines how quickly the weapon can shoot/attack, and the delay between consecutive shots/attacks. A higher fire rate means a reduced delay between attacks.
Recoil: Determines the amount of screen shake that happens when a ranged weapon is fired. Has no direct adverse effect on Accuracy or Spread, though it can throw off the placement of your clicks.
Spread: Not to be confused with Accuracy; determines how much a projectile from a firearm can deviate from the intended target tile; higher spread equals more deviation. Tends to increase when a weapon is in burst mode.
Weapon Size: Determines what kind of container the weapon can fit into. Most weapons are 'bulky' in size and thus cannot fit into boxes or backpacks normally.

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 give unrestricted attachments to most marines, though some may grant more restricted attachments to squad leaders, medics, engineers, or specialists. Being polite to the Requisitions staff might get you extra stuff. Say please and thank you. The only exception is for the Rail Flashlight and Bayonet attachments, where it can be found in Marine Vendors inside your respective Prep rooms.
Most guns have three attachment locations: the rail, underbarrel 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.
Note that secondary attachment weapons such as the U7 Under barrel shotgun are not affected by other attachments on the weapon they're attached to, and don't inherit their effects.
Attachment Tier System
The Tier | Meaning |
---|---|
Tier 1: Slightly | The lowest increase/decrease in attachment stats. |
Tier 2: Moderately | A moderate increase/decrease in attachment stats that's higher then slightly. |
Tier 3: Greatly | A great increase/decrease in attachment stats, higher than moderately. |
Tier 4: Majorly | The highest increase/decrease in attachment stats. |
