While commonly Valkarian troops are trained in Drop tactics there are rare occasions that select individuals are sent to Heavy Infantry Units where the receive the most advanced equipment the Guard has to offer , While The Particular Unit of the 82nd is Specially trained for Urban Combat . The Vehicles in their Unit contain many items that are useful in urban environments such as Track Guards , RPG cages and Dozer Blades to name a few but these are mainly bolted onto command vehicles only , however more may gain it as the unit is resupplied . Individuals of the 82nd often have personal weapons that they secured either from the enemy or " Liberated " from Quartermasters , the most common addition is pump action Shotguns as well as heavy Stub Pistols , other times they "procure" items such as melta bombs and Flamer fuel for their own uses and the Unit itself is actually fairly renown for their Moonshine that is made from a mix of Promethium and Lasgun power pack juice , it is commonly accepted that they trade this Liquid fire for many items such as Iho sticks all the way up to Melta gun ammunition. However the 82nd is notorious for having the Commissar's be killed due to "friendly fire " incidents and as of current there are none present . One of the most sacred things to the Valkarins is their Facial Tattoo's of Their tribes , which long gone in The literal sense , is still a major part of their honor system . If any outsiders are to receive this tattoo they are considered to be apart of the unit and worth of such a privilege
