Make sure you have clothing on, else you cant wear Armor! Backpacks will also block SG Armor, so ensure youre not wearing that either! As for the eyepiece, make sure your Smartgun is equipped and that youre not wearing anything in the eyewear slot!
That means youve the highest ranked (in game rank, that is) in the round! This can happen to anyone in the Chain of Command. You’ll want to go to CIC, grab the tablet and Command Headset from the small wall locker to the north of the Bubble in CIC. Let your Squad Leads know that you’d like some help coming up with a plan - they would much rather know that youre looking for help now rather than find out during the Operation. Theyll likely give you some pointers of which LZs to pick and maybe some planning - rely on your NCOs when youre feeling overwhelmed with things to do.
You can use the ‘m’ key or type ‘*clap’ in the Say bar. You can also go to the Preferences tab and set Hotkeys for emotes as well!
You’ll want to apply a splint for a temporary fix, or go and visit a Doctor for a full fix! Keep in mind, Corpsmen cannot fix it!
It will change your firing mode to use alternate IFF - not letting you fire through friendlies but in exchange reduces your damage falloff range!
You cannot! Once your 5 minute death timer completes, youll have to either wait for a ghost role to roll, or you’ll have to give Xenomorph a try!
CM - and SS13 as a whole - is a big olde game of improv. Listen to what people around you are chatting about and try to add to it in some way. Some people will pull you into the conversation, some will confront you, some will ignore you - its all about seeing how people react to what you say and rolling with the punches.
Youll want to make sure your Surgical Inten is on at the top-left side of your screen. Next, get them on a roller and apply some pain meds - oxy or tramadol both work!. If you have the surgical kit you start with, you can do Scalpel > Hemostat > Retractors > Suture (select Mend Internal Bleeding) > Suture. If you dont, you can use a boot knife twice > Suture (select Mend Internal Bleeding) > Suture.
The key to maximizing HM loadouts is nesting storage. You can use Medkits inside your backpack to carry a LOT more things. There’s some spares in the Medical Prep rooms in Medbay and outside Medbay in the hall to the north-east!
CIC has likely made you aSL. You can always ask over Comms to have them pick someone else! You get Command Comms when youre aSL, so you can use ‘:v’ to ask them directly.
Xeno Questions
Welcome to the Hive! Stay in the Hive for now, and wait till you get the “Youre ready to evolve” prompt! You can then select one of the Tier One xenos to become! You can ask further questions about each type if you want help picking, but Drone is usually a good first pick.
Marines either need to be rooted or prone for a facehugger to hug someone. You can tell theyre rooted by a small blue effect by their feet.
Hauling prevents tunneling! Youll have to walk your newly capped Marine to the Hive!
That means theyve picked the Hedgehog strain! You can select it by being a Ravager and going to the Alien tab and clicking Purchase Strain. Then just use the Fire Spikes ability after collecting some shards by taking some damage!
Theyve selected the Acid Runner strain! You can purchase it in the Alien tab and clicking Purchase Strain.
Theyre an intro to the Predator Whitelist! Theyre spawned by WL holders as a ghost role. You can always try to reach out to a Pred WL holder and see if they’d be willing to run one sometime.
Click F12 a couple of times till it comes back.
