In Magfed scenario games the Sapper, also known as the Pioneer or Combat Engineer, plays a crucial role within the team. This role involves completing specific mission objectives that only the Sapper can achieve.

Here are some examples of typical tasks: Building Defenses: Setting up temporary fortifications like sandbags and barriers, or laying mines. /  Demolition: Using simulated explosives to ‚destroy‘ enemy fortifications or objectives. / Repairing: Fixing damaged equipment or fortifications to keep them functional during the game. /  Disarming: Defusing bombs or digging up mines.

The Sapper carries specialized equipment to perform these tasks, requiring a backpack for tools such as defusal kits, disarmament tools, a shovel, bolt cutters, protective gear, ropes, analysis devices, and radiation protection. To minimize weight, I use a light plate carrier and an SMG-style marker in my setup. Since the Sapper’s role is less aggressive, you also need to carry less ammunition.
