Soldier

From Turok Wiki

"There he is, get him!"-Soldier

The Mendel-Grumman Soldier is the basic human enemy in Turok. Commanded by Roland Kane, the former mentor of Turok, they are stationed almost everywhere on the planet the game takes place on. Upon seeing Turok or his allies, they will attack with unfaltering energy. They have been known to use the SMG, Shotgun, and the Pulse Rifle. However specialist roles employ weapons like the Sniper Rifle, Flamethrower, RPG and Chaingun. They are not however, very smart. Even with the bodies of their comrades in front of them, they will still rush Turok in an effort to overwhelm him. The soldier is easy prey to a fully-drawn arrow, and a headshot from various weapons. Soldiers are also inattentive to the areas behind as long as they do not hear any noise, so this allows for stealth kill with the knife.

===Introduction===

[edit] Differentiation

If one looks closely at the soldiers head before he is killed, you can see that his visors color sometimes is different than his comrades. The colors that are seen range from Blue to Red, with all the colors in between. Blue represents a soldier that is unaware of your presence, this means you can perform a stealth kill on him. Yellow represents that the soldier has lost track of you or thinks there is an enemy near by. He will search for you, so hide in a spot you think is acceptable, or flee-make sure he can't see you. Red visors indicate that the soldier is aware of your presence and is in the process of attacking. He will alert his fellow soldiers of your presence, and will continue to attack as long as you are within his vision. After a set amount of time without seeing an enemy, the visor will turn yellow, and then back to blue.

There is different types of soldiers as well. Each wears a completely different outfit or carry a specific weapon. The basic MG Corp. Infantry consist of Grunts, Veterans and Elites which are often carrying the standard weapons such as Pistols, SMG's and Pulse Rifles. Specialist roles are one's that carry a specific weapon such as Shotgunner, RPG Trooper, Sniper, Chaingunner and Pyro. The RPG Trooper and Sniper are the only two that carry a Pistol as a backup weapon, and the RPG Troopers wear armor that allows them to take greater amounts of damage. Chaingunners and Pyro's use a form of Heavy Armor making them impossible to kill with a Knife and next to useless to shoot them with a Bow and Normal Arrows.

• "Kane said no survivors!" (In the area surrounding the crashed ship pieces)
