 EQUIPMENT

The following equipment is only a small example of

what is available in the Aliens vs. Predator universe.

MARINES

Strapped for cash and nearly obsolete, the USCM is

fitted with outdated but reliable equipment. Access to
non-standard gear is heavily restricted due to
budgetary concerns.

Combat Armor – The M3 Combat Harness is heavy Remote Sentry Gun, 10 SA/+4 WP – For use in
armor +3 AR and includes vitals sensors and a highly hostile environments only, the UA571 Remote
transmitter for the camera and other tracking Sentry Unit is capable of tracking and attacking
equipment. multiple targets or being controlled remotely from a
command station. Each unit is loaded with belt-fed
high-velocity, explosive-tipped rounds. The tracking
system can be set to manual or auto-tracking. If set to
manual, treat as +1 Accy/+4 WP.

Motion Tracker – The motion tracker gives a +2

bonus to Perception vs. Stealth while in use.

Shotgun, +2 WP – The M21A Combat Shotgun is

rarely deployed in combat situations, but has proven
its self too versatile of a weapon to simply remove
from the USCM inventory.

Pistol, +1 WP – With very few exceptions, all pistols

give a +1 WP modifier. Most USCM personnel carry a
9mm as a sidearm. Smartgun Harness, +2 AR – The harness and
assembly for the smartgun is designed with an
Pulse Rifle, +3 WP – The M41A1 Pulse Rifle is a

up to 99 shots of caseless, explosive-tipped
ammunition. Additionally it has a 30mm under-barrel
grenade launcher.

Simple 10 – [Link] Page 6 of 9 By Randal Snyder ©2009

 SMG, +1 Accy/+2 WP – The SMG is often issued to
special security forces. It is only capable of firing in
auto fire mode.

Smartgun, +2 Accy/+4 WP – Typically a squad will

deploy with at least one M56A2 Smart Gun. The gyro-
stabilized machinegun is fixed with an infrared
targeting system that increases accuracy.

Sniper Rifle, +4 WP – The standard issue USCM

with a 15 round clip. The scope reduces the range Taser, 0 WP – Corporations do not like bad publicity
penalty by up to 6. and having security staff killing off company
employees is rarely good for business. The taser is a
single-shot pistol with a 10 meter range. After that, it
can be used as a melee weapon. However, the
damage caused by the taser is temporary and usually
only affects the character for about ten minutes.

CORPORATE

Corporations have access to Marine equipment and

more.
PREDATORS
Heavy Pistol, +2 WP – The heavy pistol is generally
a revolver with a limited number of shots. Camo Field Generator, +2 AR – The camouflage
used by the predators is created by a field generator
that bends light around the user. When engaged, the
field generator blocks visible light but not ultraviolet
or infrared and gives a +2 bonus to stealth checks.
The field created by the shift suit also deflects bullets
to a degree, but only when the shift suit is active.
Sonic Disruptor, Special – The sonic disruptor is an
anti-riot device that uses sound frequencies to
debilitate targets. The disruptor affects everyone in a
cone up to 10 meters long and 10 meters wide. Any
characters in the blast area must make a Spirit +
Physical check. Any WP are translated to skill roll
penalties which last until the sonic disruptor is
disabled or they leave the target area. Characters that
fail by 5+ are overcome with nausea.

filtration and visual enhancements. The helmet also
includes audio/visual recording and playback and
acts as a heads-up display for various controls
including targeting and sensors.

Needle Gun, -2 WP – If the hunter needs to capture

prey, he will often use the needle gun. The needle gun
does not cause any Wound Points, but instead injects Shuriken, +1 WP – The shuriken are a type of large
