Soldier Equipment

Each xenonaut can carry an armor, primary weapon, secondary weapon, and whatever pieces of loadout will fit in the 5x5 Tactical Vest grid.

Once the Buzzard Jetpack engineering project has been completed xenonauts can be equipped with a jetpack at the cost of 5 Carry Weight.

Armor
Armor provides Armor HP. Armor HP absorbs incoming damage before it is applied to the xenonaut's HP. Certain weapons ignore Armor however.

Weapons
Weapons can be equipped in the Primary slot. Size 6 weapons can be equipped in the Secondary slot as well.

Combat platform weapons
The following weapons can only be used by combat platforms.

Equipment
Each equipment adds a one-use ability to the xenonaut:

Grenades
Grenades are thrown in an area at the cost of 51% TU. The distance where they can be thrown depends on the xenonaut's Strength.

Modules
Modules add various stat bonuses to the xenonaut. They can be upgraded via engineering projects and are always unlimited. All modules have a size of 2x2 and a weight of 12. A xenonaut can only have one of each modules.
