Synthetics, masochists of sorts. The ultimate support and logistic crewmember. As the Synthetic, you have skills for medicine, surgery, engineering, construction, requisitions and even using Tactical Binoculars to spot for CAS or artillery. Even on top of that, you're still mostly a support crewmember. Rules do allow you to defend yourself, and while there's no rules on going offensive with melee weapons, you should leave it to the marines to cover you. If you want to play synthetic, you should have advanced knowledge in medical, surgery, engineering and FOB building, requisitions and at least some knowledge of Command.

Synthetic vs Organic

As a Synthetic, or biomechanical lifeform, you have advantages and disadvantages over regular organics. You only have a first name, something like John.

Your Advantages

  • You only take brute and burn damage, and you get a slight (0.70) damage reduction to damage. You still take damage from normal sources, like bullets, lasers, explosions, fire and acid.
  • You are immune to pain. Xenos also cannot see your health bar. They can only tell if you're dead, alive, or SSD through a HUD icon and examine.
  • Decapitations don't kill you permanently, and you don't become permanently dead over time. If your head is not lost and same for your body, you can be defibrillated from anything. But you can still be destroyed by Tadpole landing.
  • Due to the above, you're very easy to heal. You can repair brute damage with a blowtorch, burn damage with wires, and both with a Nanopaste. You're much slower if you do this on your own, so don't hesitate to ask others to repair you.
  • Xenos cannot drain or cocoon you for psy points unlike combat robots and organics.
  • You are immune to larval huggers, however non-larval variants still try to attack you. This makes you a very robust way of dealing with larval huggers and their traps.
  • You get 25 more health (125).
  • You are immune to flashes, welding tools, or other sources of getting blinded. You have a natural Medical HUD and night vision too.

Your Disadvantages

  • You can have any limb chopped off, including your head, but as covered in Advantages, they won't kill you permanently unless your head is somehow destroyed. Wear a hat that somehow provides decapitation protection to avoid this.!
  • You are still affected by damage slowdown, and still go into critical condition at the hard crit threshold [-50], although you won't go blind from being in hard crit. Worst of all, you don't suffocate, so you can be in critical condition forever until you are put out of your misery or rescued.
  • You can't fire guns, prime grenades, or wear armor like the Xenonauten or Jaeger armors, and you cannot run, although your walk speed is still pretty decent (unless you're an early synthetic). You can wear the TGMC flak vest and the bulletproof vest in your vendor.
  • Synths have to prepare for both medical, engineering and usually surgery situations, making their storage situation difficult to manage.

Your Skillset: Early vs Modern

There's an option in your character setup to be an Early or Late Synthetic. Basically, this option decides whether you want to have the skills of a Doctor and Ship Technician (Late/Normal Synthetic), or want to have the skills of a Corpsman and Chief Ship Engineer (Early Synthetic). These also change your appearance: Early Synthetics are pale androids with no hair, while Late Synthetics have the appearance of a human (They'll carry over your appearance from human, and your TTS voice if it's enabled.)

What should I do as a Synthetic?

Basically, everything that isn't combat and allowed by your skillset/storage.

As the ultimate support unit, you should try to help where needed! During low population especially, you'll end up in a lot of different situations. Below, there's bulleted lists of examples for things you can do.

Shipside

  • Set SLs (choose carefully, they will become your superior officer).
  • Build the FOB, set up the Tadpole. Or even fly the Tadpole during the operation!

Groundside

When you have to fight, try to leave it to marines, or bring some company to help you avoid being picked off by backline xenomorphs.

Combat

There are no real rules on combat for Synths now. Admins probably won't note you for it anymore. But it should be kept in mind that it's not your specialization, so your internal demand for unga should be contained unless in case of emergencies, such as defending yourself from backline xenomorphs.

Fighting

Synthetics can finally fight, and have been able to for a while. But how do they do this without armor or guns? Well, this part is your answer.

Not all armor is restricted by default. The armor you can wear, being the Flak Vest and Bulletproof Vest (both in your vendor) provide needed soft armor. The flak vest, especially, provides some soft protection (including acid) with a slight slowdown while the bulletproof vest gives you hard bullet protection. Not super useful, but it doesn't slow you down and looks cool. The weapons you can use are melee only and flares. You can use throwing knives and flares expertly, and you're not barred from using Harvester weapons (even though you won't get the green blood benefits), machetes, boot knives and tasers for the rare Human vs Synth situations, like during events. And don't ever forget, if you get in combat, you can technically get your head back but try not to even lose it in the first place! Your head can be dragged by xenomorphs for miles where it will never be found, and so can your unconscious shell if you are put into hard critical condition.

Synthetics do have their natural armor as stated earlier. Their species have a 0.70 mod to brute and burn, and Early Synthetics are rumored to have more. You get 125% health instead of 100 and as such can take a little more damage before dying.

So, what can you use?

You can use most melee weapons, such as Harvester weapons (without the Vali benefits), machetes, bayonets, shields and even the all powerful, POWERFIST. Whatever manages to deal with T2s like the Warrior, Runner and Hunter.

Tips

Round Start Hectic Tactics

During low population, this guide may help to shave seconds off of the roundstart to-do list for Synthetics.

After you spawn in:

  • Use your vendor to pick out your gear, a lightweight combat pack is recommended (backpack sized satchel), alongside a lifesaver/medical storage rig, Black webbing, tool pouch, and any other pouch of your choosing, typically a medkit pouch or construction pouch).
  • Move the blowtorch and wire from your discarded tool-belt into webbing.
  • Move to Engineering, turn on generators.
  • Head to SMESes, configure SMESes - set input to Auto and Max.
  • Grab a meson goggles from the vendor in engineering, you have an integrated healthhud and integrated welding protection so there is no reason not to use it.
  • Grab all metal and plasteel and phoron from Engineering storage area, as well as the PACMAN generator
  • Grab welding kit, sprint to Alamo.
  • Use Overwatch consoles to assign acting Squad Leaders if any Squad lacks a Leader.Remember, whoever you appoint will instantly have authority over you, and others. Choose wisely.
  • Drop all materials and belt kits aboard or at the FOB drone.
  • Run to Medbay, from the MarineMed Plus or NTMed grab:
    • Splints.
    • Two trauma/burn kits.
    • Hypospray, which you will fill with inaprovaline + bic/mera + kelo/derm
    • Peri+ & QC+
    • Anything else of your choice
  • From the chem machine make
    • IA
    • Iron
    • Any other custom meds of your choice
  • Station requisitions for 10 to 15 minutes - Usually, pre-approve Exosuit kit orders and pre-raise platform.
  • Pick up:
    • One of every pill bottle. (Easier to just take a pre-filled lifesaver/rig onto Alamo)
    • One defibrillator.
    • Two roller beds.
    • Two stasis bags.
  • Load medical supplies onto Alamo.
  • If nobody is currently using the FOB drone/has used the FOB drone, then build the FOB with it.
  • Go to powerloaders, use one for engine upgrades, one for weapons, switch between.

Expect this run, with practice, to take around thirteen minutes in total, not counting Requisition time.

Ceyella's Synthetic tips and advice

These are general tips/advice i have picked up from playing synth.

  • Loadout
    • Any uniform, labcoat (place your nanopaste and plasteel inside) medical scanner on suit slot, black webbing (wire and blowtorch from toolbelt, your medivac, roller bed,and lastly big oxy injector inside.)
    • lifesaver belt, drop the hypervene, QC and and some combat injectors, replace with your imalky, iron,, and dexalin, it really depends on how many other medics there are.
    • i always take tool pouch becuase its incredibly meta like crazy, then autoinject pouch, empty the autoinjector pouch and fill with 2 peri+ 2 qc+ 2 dex+ and one ana injector for rogue marines.
    • marine combat boots are the best, because they hold a knife
    • defib metal, and light bulb thing in pack, as well as any other odds and ends you pick up. you have ALOT of free room here for mission specific gear, if no medics add a second defib and spare medics, no engineers a extra blowtorch, fire extinguisher,etc.
    • try to if possible net a mini sentry from a engi, this will cMame in handy later
  • Dealing with marines
    • Anything a marine tells you is a suggestion, and advice. unless they are an officer, then it is an order.
    • Marine health is your second priority to your own, always medic marines, before all else. if a medic can take them, let them. but keep an eye on wipes or people going orange.
    • Engineers will actively dismantle or destroy defenses,keep an eye out for this. I've had fob wiped dozens of times from this.
    • Marines are used to synth being worthless, and not helping, so in times they will grab dead from you mid defib to take them across map to medic, or leave you to die while you repair engineering.
  • Engineering
    • Save your mats for when you go to map specific engineering, or to minifob. LV medical is a great spot to minifob. never use your limited maps on FOB or a miner.
    • Try to get engineering deweeded and fixed.
    • many marines refuse to evac but will go to colony medical so fix that if possible.
    • use mini sentry to quick plop and radial mode to guard you while you work.
    • Welder cades, alot of marines dont have the stuff.
    • Make razorwire in the field. typically, i am the only one to do this, but you can drop it behind a crusher so it gets stuck in the marine horde.
  • Medical
    • You will be expected to do surgery, many players hate it but you NEED to do it if it has to be done. typically ill take marines to colony med for this or have surgery stuff in fob.
    • 90% of the time you are squad medic people hate because you dont have a symbol by your head saying you are medic.
    • WARN PEOPLE OF PERI+ AND QC+ it has delay stuns and debuffs, if you peri+ a guy wordlessly and he sprints into xenos then falls over, you will suddenly take FF for the next few days.
    • Medivac is not just for medical it is shipside express, let people use it for that.
  • Requisitions
    • Suit modules first and only for 10 minutes
    • ignore megagun or meme request, its a waste
    • After 10 minutes announce last call for module priority (no one will listen)
    • buy fultons
    • buy cheap items in order of first come first serve, or people will have a meltdown
    • by now you are out of points
  • Command
    • You have no authority over anyone
    • But you actually do, reputation wise, and suggestively.
    • If no command, alot of ungas will look to you, suggest easy clear plans. "push to silos" is something people will actually do. "Push to medical, secure it for doctor, then flank around." is something people will never do effectively. keep it simple and directive. marines will prioritize fun, fun being shoot xenos.
    • Announce what each squad is doing, SLs rarely communicate to eachother, and marines wander around aimlessly.
    • keep an eye out for important information someone with small-text says, and repeat it. squad marine bob will say in the smallest text possible, that the entire hive is eating him alive south of fob and the cades are all melting. your text is huge, so copy and paste it.
    • Explain things to marines, "deweed engineering x50" will not get them to do it, "deweed engineering so xenos cant build silos and turrets" will educate marines as to why they should go do that.typically this gets them to do what you want.
  • Combat
    • bring a mini sentry along with you everywhere possible and drop it radial mode. this will protect you better than marines, and draw xeno aggro better than marines.it can be carried in hand while you move around.
    • Do not machete, it is space inefficient, and ultimately useless. your boot knife is for weeds and getting runner to leave you alone.
    • Do not accept swords, maces, or other weapons from marines, admins offer them to me to see if i will use them.
    • scream where you are dieing, marines can get you anytime and revive you even after an hour has passed. also scream HOW to fix you, very few people know how. (nanopaste from medical surgery tray, welder, wire.)
    • wire can be used on all limbs, at the same time, so you can wire left arm, then wire left hand on the same timer, but welder can only repair one limb at a time. this makes burn damage preferential.
    • bulletproof vest is good for highpop FF, but never take things for EORD, admins will note you for this. i have seen many synth spawn into EORD then pull 20 tazers, its clearly you wasting the synth slot to bank for winning EORD.
    • You can use smoke grenades, the -2 ones are the best for cloaking but dont do it in the middle of a push do it if your solo between fob and frontlines. hold it in your hand after arming it so it stays centered.
