This is a RP loadout if you want to yap more and shoot less but don’t want to play shipside. As a pointman you should run around the flank as frequently as possible and call out any contacts you see.
The flank is wherever your squad isn’t facing. If everyone is facing and shooting in in one direction then they all know what’s there. You should spread out and check their blind spots.
Do not walk more than 6 tiles away from any marine. You want them to rescue you when you fall.
This brings their attention to any flankers that killed you. In doing so, you have succeeded in your purpose as a pointman.
When you are dead, you will gain better battlefield awareness as a ghost.
You may use any weapon of your choice. I suggest attaching lights because you’re not wearing any armor with lights on it.
Lanterns, desk lamps, and flashlights will complement this by lighting up your back.
You may look for a suit after you deploy. They have 2 pockets and a suit storage slot and usually don’t slow you down.
Since you’ll be communicating more often, you should take a radio bag, or JTAC equipment, or just steal it from a dead FTL.
