Blue Suns Trooper



Blue Suns troopers are the rank and file soldiers for the Blue Suns mercenary organization they are also one of the most commonly encountered enemies. They are predominantly human and turian with batarians mostly holding higher ranks. They are equipped with M-8 Avenger assault rifles & M-23 Katana Shotguns. On normal they do not possess shields however they will have shielding on higher difficulties.

The assault rifle armed troopers are effective at taking down shields, Barriers and pentrating armour. They are also able to put down a constant barrage of fire, as their weapons heat sink capacity means that their reload times can be some distance apart. They rarely enter close quarters combat and will usually be easy to deal with if unsupported by more elite troops such as legionnaires.

Shotgun wielding troopers behave in a manner similar to a Eclipse Vanguard they are however considerably weaker and have a tendency to move into open areas towards a player allowing them to easily be picked of. If they do enter close quarters combat they can cause significant damage their weapons moderate recoil however allows them to be dealt with particularly if they possess no shields as powers such as throw or concussive shot will knock them over.

Overall troopers are not difficult to deal with if cover is used wisely their main threat is that they can prevent a squad putting down                                                             effective fire on more dangerous threats such as a centurion. On harder difficulties they will quite easily bring shields down this                                                                makes them more dangerous but once again using cover to advantage will mitigate this. It also of note that the Turians hold the                                                                      close quarters role more often than humans this makes getting head shots slightly easier the same applys if they are equipped                                                        with assault rifles.
