Equipment (Bureau)

Each soldier can use one weapon, depending on class, and equip one backpack, which offers a bonus to some area of the soldier's stats.

The exception is William Carter, who can equip any TWO weapons, one type of Grenade, one pack, and the Van Brace for Melee attacks.

Backpacks:

The standard backpack is given by default. Additional packs are availible to use after either unlocking them through Dispatch Missions, or locating Backpack Schematics. These schematics are scattered throughout the levels, about one in each mission, and resemble flat blue PDAs, either at blatant locations along your way, or hidden in apparent dead-ends. They glow while in Battle Focus, so take a look if you find yourself on a "wrong turn"-- and watch out for a small amush on your way back.
