The Riot Trooper is the heavily armored melee infantry of the GDF in Tempest Rising.
Game unit
Armed with a riot shield and baton, the Riot Trooper attacks up and close. The Trooper is a heavy infantry, having high resilience against small arms fire and cannot be crushed by enemy medium vehicles. This makes the Trooper an ideal front-line infantry when facing down anti-infantry attacks and shielding from some crush tactics.
The Trooper's stun baton applies a Riot Suppression effect which suppresses enemy infantry by reducing their rate of attack and movement speed.
The Riot Trooper can swap to use EMP grenades, allowing them to temporarily disable enemy vehicles.
Abilities
