Npc combine s



They are the grunts of the Combine Overwatch, serving as the main "soldier" enemies in the game. They are stronger and more capable than their counterparts. Soldiers are designed to use Pulse-Rifles, SMGs, Shotguns, and frag grenades.

Their AI uses Blitzkrieg-style tactics. They will advance rapidly to flank, throw grenades to flush the player out, ignore attacks and suppress, or charge ahead to force an enemy back. In squads, they coordinate their actions and take turns attacking an opponent.

Soldiers come in two variants: the Elite, with 20 extra health and the ability to use the AR2 secondary fire, and the Nova Prospekt soldier, which is identical to the standard soldier aside from appearance.

Soldiers carrying shotguns are automatically given a different. Regular soldiers become dark orange and the eyes of Nova Prospekt soldiers turn red. Elites are not affected.
