Introduction

You are specially-trained to operate one of TerraGov Marine Corps' most effective weapons systems: the SG-29 smart machine gun, the SG-85 smart handheld gatling gun, or the SG-62 Target Rifle. Realizing that you suck at not shooting your battle buddies perform well at TerraGov Marine Corps School of Infantry and score high in the ASVAB's electronic, the TerraGov Marine Corps put you in an additional 5 weeks course on operating these weapon systems. These technologically advanced but limited weapon systems can shoot through other marines without sacrificing firing rate.

In TGMC, the main role of the Squad Smartgunner is a second-line support unit.

Playing the Smartgunner

  aspiring smartgunner says:
""LETS ROCK!!!!""

Though it may seem powerful with this profound built-in IFF, you are not built to be a front-line combatant. Your strength is covering your team and putting yourself in the best position to lay down lots of fire on the enemy.

Xenomorphs will target you if you act as pointman for marines; they want to remove you from laying down superior firepower for marines. Treat yourself as a mobile sentry gun, stay behind your teammates, lead your shots, and pay attention to where you can best bring your firepower to bear. The reason for why xenomorphs fear you is the smart weapon you have.

The smart weapon 's strength is its built-in IFF, giving the smart weapon superior firepower, faster movement speed, and higher rate of fire over many aim mode weapons. The built-in IFF is on by default, and when it is on you will not hit any other friendly marines equipped with IFF transmitters. Whereby other weapons have aim mode that reduce their rate of fire and movement speed, you on the other hand have superior rate of fire and movement speed given your SG. You can freely shoot through any marine and your bullets will safely bypass them to hit targets beyond. Note that your bullets will still hit anyone or anything without marine IFF, meaning survivors, FRE ERT, and other civilians, so be careful.

Due to the fact that you can't get infinite ammunition for free, you need to communicate with requisition far more often for your ammunition compared to squad marines. Always inspect the amount of ammunition you have on you before a huge engagement happens since the last thing you want is chasing xenomorphs with a dry SG. If you have 2/5 of the total ammunition you can carry, it is the best time to get requisition to order more ammunition. Ensure that requisition verbally receives your order and ships out your orders otherwise you will head to a FOB with no ammunition for you.

  • If you are using the SG-85, you cannot run fast with your weapon since wielding the weapon while running with it wielded is pretty slow.
  • If you are using the SG-29, you will run dry fast if you incorrectly use it too soon, and you have to reload fast before xenomorphs capitalize on you or your marines while you're reloading.
  • If you are using the SG-62, you have the lowest ammo capacity out of all the smart weapons, so you must be more accurate and not spray and pray.

Vendors, Equipment, and Weapons

The Smartgunner 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 and NEXUS Smartgunner Equipment Rack.

  • The closet contains your uniform, standard equipment, webbing, belts, pouches, and any masks you may want.
  • The equipment rack contains two choices for smartgunner kits, but you can only choose one!, and gun attachments.
  • When you wake up, you get either 1000 ammo for your T-29 or . Obtain more from requisition; SG-29 drums cost 5 req points whereby

Tactics for Squad Smartgunner

Tips

  • Kill xenos, get more ammo. Use ammo to kill more xenos, then get more ammo. Make req happy.
  • Xenomorphs will get punished when they push if you do your job. The SG's job is to ensure that xenomorphs eat more lead when they try to come to CQC range, not to mention the sunder that the SG provides.
  • Given that you have IFF, you can save marines from resin traps. These traps make facehuggers jump on marines if they step on the traps. Always be wary of objects on weed as many objects can hide resin traps, so keep your cursor near objects. When a marine triggers a resin trap, they will get stun and have a few second to be saved before the facehugger grabs onto their face.
  • Stick with your squad and follow the Squad Leader's (SL's) orders. If this isn't possible, stay with any marines you can find. You will not survive on your own if you are caught out of position, and your weapon is a very important support tool for the entire marine force—don't waste it by running around alone.
  • Aim for the chest. You're less likely to hit a target by aiming for the head.
  • Aim at the tile behind a target if they're standing still. If you click right on the tile, it might not hit as likely compared to clicking straight behind your target, or the bullet might hit a nearby wall.
  • For moving targets, try to lead your shots. Bullets have travel time, so depending on how fast a target is moving you may have to put your cursor 1-5 tiles ahead of a target to hit them.
  • If an ally is pounced on, shoot over whoever's in the way behind the tile of the pouncer. You will either drive the pouncer off and make them hesitant to get into range, or you'll fill them with enough lead to drop them for you and your allies. This goes for warrior's lunge, too. Pump lead into that warrior since they have to grab a marine for like 2 seconds, enough to mag dump them.
  • A Shotgunner synergizes well with this role: have the PFC as the point-man and stay behind them and their friends. In case they get pounced on or knocked down, you can then blast the offender and either drive them away (giving your team/the PFC time to move back and regroup), or kill them if they remain in the area for too long. It essentially gives you the ability to act as both an anti-flank/harassment force and as area-denial to all.
  • DON'T STAND IN FRONT
  • SERIOUSLY JUST DON'T
  • STOP CHARGING IN FRONT DAMMIT
  • TALKING TO YOU, ELSA
