Guide to SL and Vehicles

Introduction to Gamma
Battle Bruvah! You are now among the finest armored unit that is GAMMA! You have read the Handbook to Merc correct? Of course you have!

GAMMA is ALPHA on maximum crack. Accumulative Damage? WHAT'S THAT PUSSY SHIT? Dying in 4 hits from CLAWS? PATHETIC, WE CAN TAKE ALMOST TWICE AS MUCH! So what that we are slower? OUR GUNS ARE DAMN INFINITE AS LONG AS WE GOT POWER!

If you haven't guessed it, GAMMA out of 4 other squads is the mechanized squad. They got exosuits that run off power and give them multiple benefits, as well as have all the TONKS and JEEEEEEEEEEEPS. If you want a position defended to the max, they are your boys. They serve as a good front squad as well when Alpha isn't feeling so good, as GAMMA is the 2nd most populated squad.

Being GAMMA
Basically ALPHA but more careful. Your Exosuit has twice the health of a average 0 Endurance Merc, your gun fires SMG rounds in a 5 round burst and you have infinite ammo as long as you have energy. NEVER let energy reach 0, as you will slow down like a turtle and will most likely have your exosuit destroyed. Also if you are a Mechanic or Gamma SL, read Using Aircraft and Vehicles. They are decently simple to drive once you get used to controls, and you really should be careful with them.

Vehicles are easily the most important aspect of Gamma. The 2 currently implemented Vehicles in the game, JEEEEEEEEEEEEEP and TONK, both recharge you, and need to be protected from everything. JEEP lets you get in instantly while TONK takes a few seconds, however JEEP has half the health of a TONK (500) and has no guns despite good speed and only has 1 seat for a driver, and infinite for passengers. TONK meanwhile has much more health (1000), 2 seats for a Driver and a Gunner, who both respectively have a Heavy MG, with the Gunner getting a Tonk Cannon that can blast terrain apart, with also infinite seat for passengers. Do whatever you can to protect your Vehicles. As without them, you lack a ton of ways to recharge on the ground.

Unlike Alpha as well, GAMMA storage is much more limited as well. Fill it with Repair Tapes if you can. Repair Tapes is the only thing that can heal you while you are in a Exosuit. Its one of the most powerful healing items, but takes a few seconds to apply, so use it when behind your not at risk of being massively killed. Don't also use it on scratch damage, use it when your atleast near half health, as otherwise you are using it far too early.

If you have inevitably managed to get your exosuit destroyed, worry not, as you will get automatically ejected with a CORE in your belt. You will also be stunned for a few seconds and thrown a random direction, so pray tell you don't get thrown into the hive and murdered. Once you get up, you are like a ALPHA without his armor who had to pull out his backup. Get yourself ASAP to DC or Saltshaker, and use the core on the Vehicle Repair (That huge thing with like 4 welder hands on it) and it will give you a new suit. Now go back out there and kick ass!

Other Tips

 * Sticking together with a Vehicle as GAMMA is pretty much mandatory. You work best when spamming bullets together.
 * Bring a backup! You WILL inevitably be forced out of that exosuit or be too low on energy with no TONK or JEEP in sight.
 * You are the slowest merc unit in the game. Get into a TONK or JEEP for most of your travels, and get out when its time to fight.
 * You can't be knocked down almost no matter what, be it either Demolishers, Pounces and etc. Use this to your advantage.
 * Your Gun never needs a magazine. As long as you have power, you can spam it. Keep shooting at those Hives! Just make sure you are always near a tonk.
 * As was said before, KEEP TONKS ALIVE. Your only other way to recharge is to get into Exosuit Chargers, like one on the DC.
