Three Dimensional Manoeuvre Gear
The simplest move possible with the 3DMG is simply aiming and firing the grapple hooks at an object and then activating the gas mechanism to reel oneself toward said object. They can then disconnect the hook and continue moving forward. Usually however, soldiers must be able to move around in order to navigate in general. Therefore, they tend to use their momentum in order to swing around targets, not only in rectilinear patterns, but also slaloming between objects and Titans. The gas mechanism is so powerful that it can stop a person from falling without using the hooks. The 3DMG tends to be less efficient in open spaces because the user does not have too many spots where the hooks can be reeled. However the hooks are able to pierce Titan flesh and 3DMG can be as fast or even faster than a Titan.
Cannons
Despite the ability to blow a Titan's head off in one shot, half of all Titans will merely regenerate their heads; the only certain way to kill a Titan is to destroy the nape of its neck. In addition, the time it takes to reload and aim a cannon makes it inapplicable for offensive strategies against Titans. However, cannons are still used in static defense positions, most notably on top the Walls and near gates in the event of a breach. As such, they are used most often by the Garrison, who patrol such areas.
Signal Flare
Garrison:
- Green = Mission started.
- Red = Mission failed. (Unless Yellow Flare is spotted some time after Red.)
- Yellow = Mission successful.
Survey Corps:
- Red = Titan spotted. (Used in order for the squad to avoid the Titans.)
- Black = Abnormal Type Titan spotted.
- Purple = An emergency of some kind. (Someone is grabbed, etc.)
- Blue = An order to retreat.
- Green = Change direction of the formation: Fired by the commander in one direction to indicate a change in the direction, and then repeated by the relay soldiers.
- Yellow = This lets everyone know that the mission has been terminated, be it successfully or failed.
Firearms
Firearms are weapons that use the combustion of gunpowder to launch projectiles at enemies at high speeds. However, they are unsuitable for dispatching Titans and have not progressed very far technologically. Consequentially, they are almost always overshadowed by the Three Dimensional Maneuver Gear. However, they are still regularly used by the Military Police and other human-to-human security relations. In addition, their larger cousins, cannons are used as the main line of defense against Titans by the Garrison. The Survey Corps and the Garrison also use flare-guns to communicate over long distances.
