Blood Pack Boom-Squad

The Blood Pack Boom Squad is a vorcha trained for an anti-personnel role in the Blood Pack organization. The standard accoutrement of a boom squad member is a rocket launcher. Like most vorcha, they wear light armor and depend on their natural regenerative abilities during a fight. These individuals are commanded by a squad commander who is answerable to a krogan overseer.

In 2185, Commander Shepard's team fights boom squads around and in Gozu District's main ventilation control room. There is even a brief conversation with a boom squad leader where he reveals the origin of a plaque impacting the district, and vorcha plans for the district. Save for the boom squad leader's team members, who fight at the same elevation as Commander Shepard's team, most other boom squads fight at a higher elevation. These squads will fire three or four rounds, reload behind a protective barrier, and then reappear to fire again. It is at these moments, when they reappear, that they are most vulnerable to attack. A sniper rifle is a good weapon for killing these squads.

Trivia

 * In the game universe, it's unusual for organic individuals to be identified as a squad. The only other instance is the Blood Pack Recon Squad. In both instances, only the vorcha fulfill these positions in the organization.
