Additional plating | Basic |
|
Reinforcing the natural weak spots discovered in our enforcer's armor with additional armor plating, as well as providing them with purpose-built military helmets instead of their scavenged equipment, should make them much more resistant to small-arms fire. While it will slow them down further, few of them would turn down the opportunity to resist a rifle cartridge to the skull. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
CqC training | Basic |
|
Now that we have acquired experience in the use of our Enforcers, we can begin developping a uniform, specialized operational doctrine which would vastly increase their effectiveness in close-quarter combat. Better hand-to-hand training alongside squad suppression techniques go a long way in making them more effective on the field. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
