[DATA ACQUIRED BY COLONEL SANDERS]
[ACQUIRED ON APRIL 17TH, 2022]
Division: Metropolitan Police Force (MPF)
Leader: N/A
Description: Officially endorsed as the Combine Anti-Vehicle division, the BALLISTA sub-division is capable of dealing area-of-effect damage using explosives and their LMGs. Similarly to the Resistance Heavy, their RPG is capable of locking on to aircraft, making it difficult to avoid potential rocket damage. Some BALLISTA units use their RPGs as their primary weapon, so make sure to focus them down before they shoot their rockets.
Much like the other MPF units, these soldiers are still human and can be enslaved by the Military Police.
"BALLISTA is one of the MPF divisions formed in response to Rebel elements, namely their armored vehicles. Created with the express purpose as an Anti-Armor division, BALLISTA enjoys the rare privilege of being one of the few divisions permitted to make use of equipment outside that of the standard Patrol Kit. Instead, they frequently make use of weapons touting far greater firepower than that of their compatriots."
Spread out to avoid getting hit by mortar strikes and rockets.
Snipers and LVET Marksmen are able to one-shot BALLISTA units with headshots.
Engineers can build walls to stop incoming rockets.
Rockets do minimal damage to infantry but can rapidly kill a vehicle. Technicians should stay on the move while deploying vehicles in order to avoid being hit.
