R3vo: The higher the value for the loadCoef the less stamina a unit has. Negative values will dramatically increase the stamina actually to a point where it extends the stamina bar.

Midnight: explosiveSpecialist trait can defuse mines (i.e. satchel charges), whilst the engineer trait alone cannot.
