The Uplifted races are much smarter in the aspect that they can use tools and improvise. Using human equipment is a possibility for chimpanzees, but dolphins have their own set of equipment and gear for use in their aquatic environment. Chimps are capable of using firearms up to the size of a light assault rifle and basically all tools that a human can, given the fact that they develop opposable thumbs. All armors are available for chimps except MetalGear, which will not be available until early 2025. Some companies are now mass-manufacturing clothing for chimps and some are even directing their marketing toward the race in particular.
Dolphins are very limited in their equipment.
Despite their intelligence, they are evil and must be destroyed. The Catholic Church will offer 300 eurodollars for every confirmed Uplift killed. Made of tough synthetics. Armors the dolphin's body to SP14. Armors the body to SP18.
