Fungus spreads as unit faces helplessness

The unit’s small arms are referenced by Blake as ineffective against the Yeti, reinforcing the soldiers’ desperation. His line—'Not unless you can cop 'em straight between the eyes'—highlights the weapons’ limitations, framing them as little more than symbolic tools in the face of the robotic threat. The small arms remain holstered or slung, unused and useless, as the soldiers grapple with the map’s grim update. Their presence underscores the unit’s vulnerability and the futility of conventional warfare against this enemy.

Before: The small arms are carried by Weams and Blake, loaded but unused. They are standard-issue firearms, their ammunition depleted or ineffective against the Yeti.
After: The small arms remain unused and irrelevant, their inadequacy confirmed by the advancing fungal threat. They are now purely symbolic—representing the unit’s dwindling options.
