Loadout research

From random buying to deliberate equipment.

Stock Tactical Ops buys by weapon class, catalog order and bot desirability. A strong human builds a role-complete loadout on purpose. Hossie is learning the second behavior without breaking the first game's mechanics.

Special Forces

Dominant practical core

Black Hawk + MP5SD / close-mid weapon + SR90 or M16 + normally HE grenade

Examples are combinations, not fixed presets.

Terrorists

Equivalent combinatorial doctrine

Black Hawk + MP5 Navy / Berg 509 + SR90 or M16 + normally HE grenade

The doctrine is role-based and combinatorial, not a hard-coded four-loadout menu.

Why the sniper matters

SR90 is not merely a “long-map gun.” It creates a range role that MP5 and pistol cannot replace.

Precision pistol

Strong close headshot / point-blank option.

Close-mid

MP5 family

Reliable general automatic coverage, with MP5SD for SF and MP5 Navy for Terrorists.

Long

SR90

High pro-human preference because it opens engagement ranges that the rest of the loadout cannot simply substitute.

Frozen transaction order

Reconcile, don’t improvise.

SNAPSHOT → CLASSIFY → FULL DRY-RUN → KEEP exact → SELL required safe unwanted → reread inventory + money → BUY exact missing → VERIFY final state

Armor doctrine

Full armor is normal. Speed can be tactical.

The default professional baseline is full armor. The exception is a fast-nade opening: leave lighter, win an early timing window, throw the grenade, then return to buyzone and armor up.

DEFAULT: FULL_ARMOR OPTIONAL FAST-NADE OPENING: spawn light → faster early route → timing-sensitive grenade → return to buyzone → full armor → normal combat phase

Current engineering boundary: grenade policy and armor policy remain separate from loadout reconciliation. The reconciler enforces a desired profile. It does not invent strategy.
