Редактирование: TGMC:Marine Quickstart Guide (раздел)

== Other Activities ==
If you're having trouble adjusting to or enjoying frontline combat, and want to contribute to your team in some other way without taking on the responsibilities of a specialized job, there's still a few options for you:

=== Mineral Miners ===
These drills all over the map, marked with pink and silver icons, are capable of generating points for the marine side. With a welder, wrench, and wirecutters, anyone can fix them, even if Squad Engineers are the best at it. As a normal marine, you can set up a defensive position with sandbags or metal around these machines to likely benefit your team more than you would on the front lines, as long as you keep them active. Make sure you bring some kind of eye protection if you're repairing it yourself! Staying behind barricades is obviously a lot safer, and your teammates will thank you when they need somewhere secure to hide from a flanker, or when a Marine with a minigun you paid for ends up shredding the Queen. If you like this sort of gameplay, consider actually playing as an Engineer.

=== Sniping ===
The TL-127 rifle can fire at enemies a long distance away, and with aim mode the bullets will go straight through any Marines on the way there. You won't be hitting that hard on your own, but an extra 80 damage might just stop a xenomorph from retreating behind a corner. At fights near the landing zone this is more effective, but it can work in any open area. Just make sure you aren't getting left behind, or those same flankers you keep trying to pick off will be the end of you. The laser sniper doesn't have to worry about travel time, but it can't use aim mode and does a lot less damage. Requisitions can also provide you with an autosniper with a night vision scope, which is a [[TGMC:Boiler|Boiler]]'s worst nightmare.
