A smartgunner's role is defined completely by the tool that they carry: the mighty Smartgun. It allows the wielder to shoot safely behind their comrades: multiplying the firepower of a group. While it may pale in comparison to a tank or a Spec's armament, it is still very lethal in the right hands. It's designed as a support weapon: keeping away and finishing off enemies who would otherwise flee from a lack of bullets to the skull.
Your Gear
Smartgun
This is your main weapon. While weaker than a standard rifle, it compensates through having a high rate of fire and being able to shoot through your friends to hit enemies.
Pros:
+ Fast fire rate un-modded (about as fast as you can click), making it great for suppression fire
+ Possesses an anti-friendly fire system (IFF), allowing one to shoot through allies to hit your foes
+ Can use burst fire
+ Comes with an integrated Magnetic Harness and Flashlight
+ Has a 50 round capacity with 500 reserve rounds in its Powerpack
+ Empty Powerpacks can be replenished by equipping it in your hand, clicking its icon on the bottom of the screen, then dragging it over to your ammo locker in your prep room to restock the machine. Then you can just dispense it and stick it back onto yourself: this process can be done as many times as needed.
+ Powerpacks can be ordered at Requisitions like other ammo types.
Cons:
- Deals about the same damage as an SMG per shot (i.e. 30), making it weaker against T3s unmodded
- Wielding has a 1-2 second delay, and slows you while wielded
- Liberal use tends to run the Powerpack dry, necessitating either Requisitions or periodic trips to and from the Almayer to maintain usage of the Smartgun.
- Reloading takes about 3 seconds and must be done by standing still: moving at all interrupts the reloading process. It automatically starts reloading around every 5 seconds it doesn't fire a bullet, but it is not recommended to rely on this too much.
