PDRMNEC Heavy Infantry
What people think of when one says PRDMN Espatier. These infantry wear the PDRMN Espatier Exosuit, carry heavy weaponry, are surrounded by a sea of drones, and think of themselves as a one man army. Making up only 1/6 of an already small force, they are rarely deployed in units larger than a squad. Each dreadnought has a single platoon of them, though they normally work integrated with Light Infantry instead.

Equipment
PDRMN Espatier Exosuit of course
Every soldier has on their person only what is in their suit or their weaponry. However their pack drones carry a lot of extra supplies.
Drones:
4-5 M914 Rifle drones
2-3 protective drones, essentially riot shields on legs
2-3 pack drones
8-10 eye-drones
4-5 flash drones
2-3 restraint drones
1-2 PD drones
2 hub drones
normally one to two of:
1 Mortar drone

Weaponry
The standard Heavy Rifleman carries a M934 with grenade launcher, an upscale version of the standard PDRMN Coil Rifle that the LI uses. It can propel larger items more forcefully, with a muzzle velocity of 1800 m/s though normally that is scaled down to 1200 m/s with a more chunky projectile (8 mm). In addition to this, every soldier carries a PDRMN Coil Pistol, their 2mm sub machine gun, and collection of missiles. Every solider carries 12-14 mags for their primary weapon, as well as a full reload for their systems, and 6-10 grenades.
The HMG carries what is essentially a Heavy Coil machine gun, firing 12 mm ammunition at coil rifle speeds. This weapon necessitates an exosuit due to the violent recoil and shear weight of the weapon (it is the same as was used on early space warships as a secondary cannon). Typically, 5-600 rounds are carried on the body, with an additional thousand in a drone nearby.
The Grenadier carries a standard HI Rifle, but has a specialized trio of drones similar to the standard grenadier one, acting as mortars.
The specialist could carry one of a couple objects, but common ones are:
Heavy missile launcher (Launches specialized larger micropedos from a magazine)
Laser Weaponry
Suppression foam
Or they may be directing the sabotage or installation of some tactical element.
