Squad Engineer

Access: Squad Room, Squad Engineer Prep, wherever your tools take you. Difficulty: Medium Rank: Lance Corporal (Starting), Corporal (25 hours), Sergeant (100 hours) Class: Marines Supervisors: Squad Leader Duties: Stick with your squad, follow your Squad Leader's orders. Open up entrances, place down fortifications. Forget to flip your welding goggles down. Guides: Guide to Engineering, Guide to Base Building, Guide to Fire Support Quote:"May I have more metals, please?"

Introduction

The Squad Engineer is responsible for a variety of tasks, the most important being erecting battlefield fortifications, setting up forward-operating bases (FOB's,) and repairing/destroying mission-critical objectives. You have lots of tools and materials to work with, including the TGMC's powerful remote sentry units, land mines, barbed wire, explosives, and welders.

Playing the Engineer

As an engineer, you must be prepared to operate effectively with whatever assignment your squad is given. Sometimes a squad will be assigned a specific duty solely based on their engineers, building the initial FOB or repairing colony communications or power, for example. Other times, you will be in an assault squad that's constantly on the move, assisting with demolition, entry into inaccessible areas, and making defensive areas forward of the main FOB or LZ.

The FOB is built by drone on the ship, which is far faster than building it by hand. Once the FOB shutters are raised, it will be surrounded by xenos, meaning every single marine will be trapped inside.

Almost every marine operation will have some type of FOB, and all engineers need to know how to build and maintain one of these positions. You must also learn how to set up and place defensive weapon systems like the UA 571-C Sentry. After learning these basics, you will also need to familiarize yourself with repairing mission-critical infrastructure such as colony power generators, APC's, and telecommunications systems. These activities will make up the bulk of your job, but further learning includes demolition using C4 and remote charges, welding, repair, hacking, construction, and on-site salvaging for any material you could use.

Vendors, Equipment, and Weapons

The Squad Engineer has their own prep room within their squad prep area (hover your mouse over the doors if you can't find it.) Inside are your GHMME Automated Closet, NEXUS Automated Engineer Equipment Rack, and yellow Engineer System Vendor.

The Automated Closet contains your standard kit, choice of armor, backpack, webbings, toolbelt, pouches, and any mask you may want.

TGMC Coif	A coif that protects you from extreme cold conditions.
Rebreather	Heats or cools down air as you breath it, protecting you from extreme conditions.

Item:	Desc.:
Suppressor	A small tube with exhaust ports to expel noise and gas. Does not completely silence a weapon, but does make it much quieter and a little more accurate and stable at the cost of bullet speed. Exact stats: +10% damage falloff, halves bullet speed Wielded: +10% accuracy,-5% scatter,-2 recoil Unwielded: -5% scatter, -3 recoil
Extended Barrel	A lengthened barrel allows for lessened scatter, greater accuracy and muzzle velocity due to increased stabilization and shockwave exposure. Makes your weapon longer(obviously), making it unlikely to fit in a holster. Exact Stats: doubles bullet speed, +1 item size Wielded: +15% accuracy, -5% scatter Unwielded: +10% accuracy
Recoil Compensator	A muzzle attachment that reduces recoil and scatter by diverting expelled gasses upwards. Makes you look like you're overcompensating for something. Exact stats: Wielded: -15% scatter, -2 recoil Unwielded: -15% scatter, -2 recoil
Magnetic Harness	A magnetically attached harness kit that attaches to the rail mount of a weapon. When dropped, the weapon will sling to TGMC armor or your back. Does not slow you down if attached to a weapon and equipped. but why don't you just use a pick up macro? they disabled pickup macros for guns. Use these to keep your gun on you instead. Exact stats: -9999% frustration when pounced on
Red Dot Sight	A red-dot sight for short to medium range. Does not have a zoom feature, but does increase weapon accuracy by a good amount. No drawbacks. Exact stats: Wielded: +15% accuracy Unwielded: +10% accuracy
Laser Sight	Fookin' laser soights. A laser sight placed under the barrel. Significantly increases one-handed accuracy and significantly reduces movement penalties to accuracy. Exact stats: Wielded: +10% accuracy Unwielded: +15% accuracy
Vertical Grip	A custom-built improved foregrip for better accuracy, less recoil, and less scatter when wielded especially during burst fire. However, it also slightly increases wield delay and makes unwielded fire more cumbersome. Makes your gun slightly bigger, possibly making it not fit in holsters. Exact stats: -100% scatter, +1 item size, +0.2s wield delay Wielded: +10% accuracy, -10% scatter, -2 recoil Unwielded: -5 accuracy, +5% scatter
Angled Grip	A custom-built improved foregrip for less recoil, and faster wielding time. However, it also increases weapon size, and slightly hinders unwielded firing. Exact stats: +1 item size, -0.3s wield delay Wielded: -1 recoil Unwielded: -10% accuracy, +5% scatter
T-19 machinepistol stock	A submachinegun stock distributed in "small" numbers to TGMC forces. Compatible with the T-19, this stock reduces recoil and improves accuracy, but at a reduction to handling and agility. Seemingly a bit more effective in a brawl. Use this if you plan on using the T-19 as your primary weapon. Exact stats: +1 item size, +5 melee damage, +0.1s wield delay Wielded: +10% accuracy, -10% scatter, -2 recoil Unwielded: -10% scatter
T-35 stock	A non-standard heavy stock for the T-35 Shotgun. Less quick and more cumbersome than the standard issue stakeout, but reduces recoil and improves accuracy. Allegedly makes a pretty good club in a fight too. Exact Stats: +2 item size, +5 melee damage, +0.4s wield delay Wielded: +15% accuracy, -20% scatter, -3 recoil Unwielded: n/a

NOTE: The exoskeleton can mount 1 storage module.

Module:	Desc:
General purpose storage module	Certainly not as specialised as any other storage modules, but definitely able to hold some larger things, like binoculars, maps, magazines, and motion detectors.
Engineering storage module	Can hold about as much as a tool belt, and sometimes small spools of things like barbed wire, or an entrenching tool. Looks like it might slow you down a bit.
Medical storage module	Can hold a substantial variety of medical supplies and apparatus, but cannot hold much more than a medkit could. Looks like it might slow you down a bit.

NOTE: These modules augment your armor, increasing its abilities and resistances. Only one can be attached at a time.

Module:	Desc:
Mark 1 Baldur light amplification system	Increases the power output of the Jaeger Combat Exoskeleton's mounted flashlight. Slows you down slightly.
Mark 1 Tyr armor reinforcement	A large amount of additional armor plating designed to fit inside some of the vulnerable portions of the Jaeger Combat Exoskeleton conventional armor patterns. This older version has worse protection. Will definitely impact mobility.
Mark 1 Mimir environmental resistance system	When activated, this system provides resistance to environmental hazards, such as gases and radiological exposure. This older version provides no protection to acid. Best paired with the Mimir Environmental Helmet System. Will impact mobility.
Ballistic armor module	A substantial amount of additional armor plating designed to fit inside some of the vulnerable portions of the Jaeger Combat Exoskeleton conventional armor patterns against bullets and nothing else. Will definitely impact mobility.

APCs

Repairing Broken APC

If the APC is only broken usually a result of xenos slashing.

• Mend all of the wires (Make sure to wear insulated gloves)
• Screwdriver the APC to close the cover
  

Replacing a Completely Destroyed APC

Deconstruction

In order to replace a completely destroyed APC you will need to deconstruct it.

• Screwdriver the APC if the cover is closed. (alternatively just smash the cover open with a knife)
• Wire cut the APC to open the cover.
• Remove power cell with an empty hand.
• Crowbar the floor tile underneath the APC to expose the terminal. (If it is not already exposed)
• Wire cut the APC to disconnect the terminal. (You will get 10 cable coil)
• Screwdriver the APC to loosen the APC board.
• Crowbar the APC to remove the board. (You won't get the board)
• Weld the APC to get back 1 metal.

Construction

To Make a new APC you will need to.

• Make an APC frame with 2 metal.
• Attach APC frame to a wall (preferably where you deconstructed the APC otherwise you will have to cable the APC to the grid after making it)
• Crowbar the floor tile underneath the APC to expose the terminal. (If it is not already exposed)
• Use 10 Cable Coils on the APC to make a terminal. (Important to do this step before screwing the board)
• Insert a Power Control Module (APC) Board. (You can also use the General Circuit Boards if you multitool it to turn it into a APC Board)
• Screwdriver the APC to secure the board.
• Insert Power Cell into APC.
• Crowbar the APC to close the cover.
• Unlock APC with an ID with APC access.
• Turn the Main Breaker on.
• (Optional) Relock APC

Replacing an APC power cell

• Assuming the APC is undamaged, first unlock the APC if it is not already with an ID card with APC access.
• Access the interface and disable the cover lock.
• Crowbar open the cover.
• Remove the drained power cell (if there is one) with a free hand.
• Install a fresh power cell.
• Crowbar the cover closed.
• (Optional) Lock the APC with the ID. The cover lock will automatically engage.

Repairing Robots

As an Engineer you are usually the prime marine to repair Robots, Synths or Marines with prosthetic limps. Robots have the same revive timer as normal humans (5 minutes) but can not get CPR to extend the timer. Synthetics have an infinite revive timer even if it says they are cold they can still be revived.

To repair them you have to

Cable Coil to repair burns. Can stack up to 30. Each application uses 1 cable coil and heals 15 burn damage in the selected part of the body. takes 1 second to heal others but 3 seconds to heal yourself. Does not require any special equipment (such as insulated gloves) or skills (such as engineering skills) to heal.

Welder to repair brute. Each weld uses 2u of welding fuel and heals 15 brute damage in the selected part of the body. Takes 1 second to heal others but 3 seconds to heal yourself. Does not require any special equipment (such as welding helmet or goggles) or skills (such as engineering) to heal.

Defib for dead Robots and Synthetics. Unless you are carrying one yourself you will have to find a defib or go to someone with one usually a Medic or Doctor.

Tips

• As of July 11th 2021 there are 12 engineer slots per round, and usually only 2-4 engineers; So don't feel pressured to not play engineer in order to let more experienced players play as engineer.
• An easy way to spend all your vendor points as engineer is to buy 100 metal, 70 plasteel, and 1 turret and you will only have 1 points remaining
• Pulsing the Contraband wire can give you some goodies.
  • Pulsing the Engineer System Vendor gives you the Super Capacity cell with 20000 power.
  • Pulsing the YouTool vendor gives you the high-capacity industrial blowtorch with 80u of fuel. It is unfortunately normal size and can't fit in the toolbelt but can fit in the tool pouch. No longer in YouTool vendors.
  • Pulsing the Autolathe vendor gives you the industrial blowtorch with 40u. Same size as the regular blowtorch.
