Starship Troopers Loadout?

[The Guy]

Does anyone have any good ideas for a Starship Troopers type loadout? (ex. armor, weapons, stratagems) And please, if you have a suggestion, keep it faithful to the 1997 Starship Troopers film, not the book or any of the film's sequels.

Eh, the opposite. Starship Troopers wear the minimal available equipment before being put into the meat grinder. Liberator, grenade, standard armour etc.

Stratagems Supply Backpack, EAT, Eagle Strafing Run, Orbital Precision Strike

I would say Light Armor is more fitting.

That is special gear reserved for elites.

AR-61 Tenderizer is probably the closest one appearance-wise to an Morita Assault Rifle from the movie

And HMG Emplacement stratagem is closest thing to Mk1 Static Gun as it appeared in the movie

[AonGreyFox]

Should be.... Liberator/Carbine, Basic Grenade, not sure about secondary.
Stratagem. Spear (plasma bug scene), Eagle Air Strike (The canyon scene), HMG Emplacement (Only on objective area)... not sure about another slot since I can't recall anything special left since the film limit arsenal severely. I guess you can use AMR as the captain mercy kill.
Booster... Vitality for Main heroine plot armor.
Armor I think for passive, urban light armor will do for extra ammo.

Pretty good. I think a strafing run would be an acceptable choice to fill the last slot. Even if it never made it into the movie; it's plausible. Also, the pump shotguns seem fair, since they were an attachment on the Morita.

They had a "future tech" weapon in the propaganda reel at the end of the movie as well: a big rifle-looking thing that shoots some kind of electro/plasma(?) explosive round. I'm not sure what the Helldiver equivalent of that would be.

Probably the Eruptor from the Democratic Detonation warbond

Starship Troopers, in the movies only have a Liberator, and potentially some Impact Grenades.

Using any support weapon or stratagem would be out of the question.

Their costumes do not include secondary weapons.

Their "secondary" are the throwing knives. But since they are a throwing weapon they take up a grenade slot and i don't think you'll want to exchange your impact grenades for them.

And i am suggesting impact grenades because the grenades they throw do not have a long "fuse".

If you go by that logic you can also suggest dropping in a Mecha Suit, as that is also in the Starship Trooper movie Universe.

They do not use "future" tech in the 1997 movie. They use an Assault Rifle, like the Liberator, Knives and grenades.

They demonstrate a missile launcher support weapon here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieCXrPmLRD8

And again here. https://youtu.be/EVyhmImXJsE?t=268

And this doesn't look like an impact fuse to me. If you happen to remember a scene where they demonstrate impact grenades though, then I'll confess to being wrong on that one and that some at least carry them https://youtu.be/8PK3jqOcCWU?t=92

Fleet strike craft perform a bombing run to soften up targets for the MI, not so far-fetched that the grunts could call in air support if fleet can put their coffees down and be bothered to do it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qV_IPiVDdLc

Also, the Tenderizer is a very close match aesthetically to the Morita Mk1 used by the Mobile Infantry.

As for armor, well. I don't think we ever saw the MI's armor in the 1997 film be worth anything whatsoever, so, probably light. I kind of want to suggest the PH-9 Predator from Viper Commandos for the bare arms like the movie MI had.

Since starship troopers is more about infantry wearing insane power armour with nuclear tipped grenades I'd say the most faithful recreation is the mech + 500kg bomb.

Tenderizer

[Hammer Of Evil]

SST aren't as well equipped as helldivers are.

light armor, basic assault rifle, grenades, disposable rocket launcher but no ability to call more. the mobile infantry didn't get orbital drops lol.

True, how mobile infantry is potrayed in the movie makes them more similar to SEAF than Helldivers

It's funny because in the book they're like a one person tank in power armour.
