Soldier profile
Soldiers and Veterans are the strongest regular agents that fight your minions on your island.
Gameplay observations[]
Soldiers and Veterans will arrive on the island in squads of between 2 and 7; though it is usually more common to see them in squads of 4 or more. They will begin arriving once your heat level with a particular faction reaches a moderate to high amount.
Like with other agent types, Soldiers and Veterans come in four grades: pathetic, poor, good and exceptional. Pathetic and poor soldiers and veterans will only attack Military Minions on sight, and will generally leave other minion types alone if they are unprovoked but can be easily dispatched if there are enough armed military minions present.
Good and exceptional soldiers and veterans will attack any minion and henchmen on sight (though will leave Science Minions alone up until Objective 7 is complete) and will do so with ruthless efficiency - in most cases, killing any minion and even incapacitating some Henchmen before they even get the chance to react. They will also make quick work of security doors if they get into your base. The use of Jubei's Evisceration ability or Eli Barracuda's Super Head Shot ability can help with lowering their health stat, making them easier for your other minions and henchmen to deal the fatal blow. Getting the whole squadron into hand to hand combat when attacking them is also advised, as they are significantly weaker with their hands compared to their assault rifles. To this end, Lord Kane can be utilized due to him having a relatively high health stat and being efficient with hand to hand combat while armed military minions and ranged henchmen can be used to give supporting fire from a distance.
Like Saboteurs, Soldiers and Veterans, generally Poor and higher, will also set charges to blow up important objects in the base such as the power generator, if given the chance.
