"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 travelled; the further a projectile moves, the less likely it is to hit a target. May or may not reduce damage falloff from distance travelled 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.
Standard Marine Weapons
| Weapon: | Description: | ||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 M4A3 Service Pistol |
This is one of two handguns that the marines have stocked in their prep vendors. It is a reliable fallback weapon and it uses 9mm handgun ammunition in a 12 round magazine.. All Cargo Technicians start with one, including 3 Extended Magazines (One loaded) and a Hollowpoint Magazine.
| ||||||||||
 M44 Combat Revolver |
This revolver is the standard sidearm for military officers, but is also available as an alternative sidearm for marines. The revolver deals significantly more damage per round than the M4A3 at the cost of ammo capacity and recoil. It uses .44 rounds, usually held in speedloaders, and holds a maximum of 7 bullets.
| ||||||||||
 M39 Submachine Gun |
This is the standard sub-machine gun. A mediocre firearm that is useful for support marines, such as medics, engineers or specialists with heavy weaponry. The M39 uses 10x20mm SMG rounds, and holds 48 bullets with an optional 4-round burst fire mode.
| ||||||||||
 M41A Mk2 Pulse Rifle |
This is the standard issue pulse rifle used by the Colonial Marines. A reliable, robust and overall effective standard issue weapon, the M41A must be held in two hands to fire. Unlike the M41A MK1, which holds 95 rounds, the MK2 holds only 40 rounds but offers the user greater capabilities to customize their weapon with attachments. The M41A MK2 has 3-round burstfire capabilities as well as a standard-issue UGL which starts unloaded, but can be loaded and reloaded with HEDP grenades (ask RO for grenades).
| ||||||||||
 M37A2 Pump Shotgun |
An Armat Battlefield Systems Shotgun utilized by USCM Marines. This weapon is powerful in close quarters combat and is capable of killing even the strongest of hostile targets. Due to its sheer power, the M37A2 is capable of stunning even the mighty Xenomorph when fired from close range, but users should still keep in mind that the M37A2 must be pumped after every shot. There is no default hotkey for pumping the shotgun, though you can set up one as a Macro.
| ||||||||||
 M5 Survival Knife |
The standard issue survival knife issued to Colonial Marines. A sharp cutting tool that can be hidden in your marine combat boots. Very useful for cutting through materials, but it should only to be used as a last resort against enemies. In case of being devoured it can be used to cut your way out of an Alien. Applying cable coil to its grip allows the knife to be used as a regular Bayonet Attachment. | ||||||||||
 M11 Throwing Knife |
A military knife designed to be thrown at the enemy. Much quieter than a firearm, but requires a steady hand to be used effectively. | ||||||||||
 M2132 Machete |
Latest issue of the USCM Machete. Unlike the Combat Knife, this cannot slide on to marine boots, but it can fit on to your waist. Great for clearing out jungle or brush on outlying colonies. Found commonly in the hands of scouts and trackers, but difficult to carry with the usual kit. It comes with a scabbard which can fit on to your back or armor. Its only available in Cargo's munition vendors. |
Specialist Weapons
| Weapon: | Description: | ||||||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 M42A Scoped Rifle |
A high power sniper rifle, this weapon deals a considerable amount of damage per bullet and is capable of attacking and hitting targets at extreme ranges. It comes equipped with a high power scope allowing the user a wide range of vision. For drawbacks, this weapon is limited to fifteen rounds per magazine, a very obvious and loud firing noise, and the fact that it is wholly ineffective in close range combat as bullets fired too close to the user will miss. This is only available for Specialists using the Sniper Loadout.
| ||||||||||||||||
 M92 Grenade Launcher |
The grenade launcher is a two-handed weapon that can hold and fire up to five grenades of any variety. The most lethal aspect of the grenade launcher is the stunning effect it has on even larger versions of a Xenomorph. This weapon is only available for Specialists using the Heavy Grenadier Loadout.
| ||||||||||||||||
 M5 RPG Rocket Launcher |
A reloadable, single shot rocket launcher. This weapon carries the most powerful ordnance available to marine infantry in the form of either High Explosive, Armour 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. It cannot be fired on the Almayer. This is only available for Specialists using the Demolitionist Loadout.
| ||||||||||||||||
 M4RA Battle Rifle |
An experimental designated marksman rifle of the USCM. Has a relatively slow rate of fire but deals slightly more damage per round while also possessing a functional burst fire mode. Uses special A19 high velocity rounds. This is only available for Specialists utilizing the Scout Loadout.
| ||||||||||||||||
 M430-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. This is only available for Specialists using the Pyrotechnician Loadout.

 Mateba Autorevolver Special |
This version of the Mateba revolver is a limited edition produced for the USCM, and issued in extremely small amounts. Was a mail-order item back in 2172, and is highly sought after by officers across many different battalions. This one is stamped Major Ike Saker, 7th 'Falling Falcons' Battalion.
| ||||||||||||||
 88 Mod 4 |
A powerful sidearm issued mainly to Weyland-Yutani response teams, but also issued to the USCM in small numbers. Based on the original VP70 more than a century ago. Fires 9mm armour piercing pistol rounds and is capable of 3-round burst. It is typically used by Specialists employing the usage of the Sniper/Scout Loadout, or the Corporate Liaison, Executive Officer and the Pilot Officer for self defence. It is also a standard sidearm for Weyland-Yutani PMC soldiers.
| ||||||||||||||
 M56 Smartgun |
The most complicated weapon available to a marine. Sadly, the Smartgun lacks any auto-tracking capabilities. It does, however, have an impressive 250 round ammo pool to draw from, an inbuilt infrared sensor allowing great visibility in low-light conditions, deals a good amount of damage per bullet with a high rate of fire, have 3-round burst fire capabilities, an automatic reloading system, and the coup de grace being that due to the gun's toggle-able complex targeting algorithms each bullet will not hit any fellow marine. This allows a Smartgun operator to fire freely through a group of marines without fear of hitting them. The Smartgun requires a special harness to lift and will automatically retract to the harness suit storage when the user is knocked down or else loses hold of the weapon. Like the M5 RPG, the user must stand still while reloading. Only Smartgunners and Weyland-Yutani PMC Heavy Gunners can use this weapon, it's also available inside the Commander's secure box inside the Command Armoury.
| ||||||||||||||
 Mk221 Tactical Shotgun |
A unique Weyland-Yutani semi-automatic shotgun with a rapid fire rate and an attached Underslung Grenade Launcher. Can be found in the Military Police armoury and Combat Information Centre's armoury.
| ||||||||||||||
M240 Incinerator Unit |
The ultra-deadly M240 is one of the most fearsome and savage weapons in the arsenal of the Colonial Marines. Firing extra-thick sticky napthal fuel from detachable fuel tanks, the M240 is able to both set hostiles ablaze and to section off an area with a wall of fire. For extended field operations, users of the M240 often find themselves refilling their tanks with whatever flammable material is available, with welding fuel being an effective and popular choice. A big drawback to the M240 is that due to the nature of the tanks, they cannot be refilled unless they are completely empty. Currently, two flamers can be found in a Squad Leader's personal vendor. More flamers can be ordered from cargo.
| ||||||||||||||
 M41AE2 Heavy Pulse Rifle |
Currently undergoing field testing and being used by elite soldiers, the M41AE2 is similar to its smaller M41A cousin. Armed with 300-round box magazines, the M41AE2 fires the same 10x24mm caseless ammunition as its relatives, albeit at a slower rate of fire. The M41AE2 havs 4-round burst fire capabilities but rounds tend to spread more. This can use M41A ammo, however the bullets must be transferred manually from the M41A mags into the M41AE2 Mags. The M41AE2 was originally conceived as a squad support weapon, but was mostly supplanted by the M56 Smartgun. It can be ordered from Cargo via the LMG Crate.
| ||||||||||||||
 M41A Mk1 Pulse Rifle |
An older generation Pulse Rifle that has been phased out by the USCM. Still a popular weapon among mercenary groups and nostalgic soldiers. Holds 95 rifle rounds per magazine, but suffers from slightly less accuracy than the newer M41A MK2 and had less variety of attachments. Three rifles can be found in the command armoury on the Almayer. It is also one of the standard rifles for the Freelancer Mercenaries.

 M56D Mounted Smartgun |

The M56D can hold up to 700 tungsten rounds that cause high damage to the target upon hit due to their increased armour penetration. The tracking system of a standard smartgun is non-functional on the M56D. Note that this does not have IFF tracking built into it, so you will hit friendlies with it.

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. 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, 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.
Note that secondary attachment weapons such as the Masterkey shotgun are affected by other attachments on the weapon they're attached to, and inherit their effects where applicable: the Barrel Charger will make them do more damage, Red Dot Sight will make them more accurate, Bayonet less accurate, etc...
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. |

 X-13 Apesuit |
A heavy prototype combat armour. It is the most powerful personal armour available, it has an extremely high armour value that makes it very resistant to melee and projectile attacks.

And thus, this is only available through admin events. |
