Hello ladies, gents, non-binaries, and sentient tanks. I come wondering what do you all use in your backpack slot if you don’t pick secondary weapons. Do you favor, grenades, ammo, or med kits and tools? I’ve been using the A-frame pouch on almost everyone except my tankers and medics, but I’m wondering about using more med kit bags so I can have more heals. Do any of you think this is worthwhile? I’ve so far enjoyed having an extra grenade but also feel like it would be nice be able to pick myself off the ground and heal myself to full health, or someone else for that matter. Let me know in the comments below!
My engineers I usually carry shotguns, and big grenade back packs so I can chuck three explosion packs. AT dudes also carry large grenade pouches, for everyone else I carry large ammo packs.
However, I have a couple all Engineer squads which also carry Browning auto 5 shotguns, but in those squads I carry large ammo pouches.

Yeah I’m jealous of you Americans with your shotguns. The Drilling is just a joke that they put it in the to begin with, it’s really just a hunting/survival tool. Quite fascinating though the left barrel was unchoked for slugs, the right choked for bird shot, and there was a center underbarrell for 9.3mm cartridge for big game.

I always go for large ammo. Grenades are situational weapons and usually 1 is enough not to mention bots throw grenades back instantly making them risky to use. Extra medkits are just worthless when the game is so fast paced and you die all the time. Tools are good for tankers but i have no use for them in my infantry squads

I wish the Germans had a better shotgun, so with them I don’t use one, and in reality, the Soviet Toz is not much better. I have one Event squad I gave Mkb 35’s, one I use in BR5 and this one pictured i use in BR3, but do not use shotguns with my Germans. I do use the Toz with one Soviets engineer squad, however I have the Yazikov pistol SMG which I use as my main weapon. Since I have a bunch of engineers I always build ammo crates because the Yazikov on carries 45 rounds additional, so I am always having to reload.
US level two tech tree engineer squad. I have two squads laid out the same.

I also have a couple Japanese engineer squads which all use Browning 5 shotguns. The Japanese never had the Browning shotguns, so I am assuming the Dev’s gave it to them as captured weapons. Why not just give the Germans the same captured Browning shotguns? It seems to me that they would have just as many opportunities to grab them off the battlefield as the Japanese. 
Ammo pouches on everyone
I basically use the largest ammo pouches on Assaulters and Machine Gunners, while the rest get the biggest grenade pouches.
