Sword
SWORD Sub-Division
[DATA ACQUIRED BY HVY CPT ARTI]
[ACQUIRED ON MAY 18TH, 2022]
Division: Overwatch Transhuman Arm
Leader: CmD Nihilus
Description: OTA SWORD are the Combine's CQB experts. While mostly restricted in terms of medium-long range engagements, they dominate opponents in indoor and close range combat, as their automatic shotgun can dish out large quantities of damage in a short amount of time, being capable of shreading even the most armored of rebels in seconds.
While they are considered transhumans, these units can be enslaved by the Military Police.Â
BACKGROUND LORE
"SWORD is one of the spiritual successors to the Charger present from the previous Transhuman iteration, namely the shotgun. While they lost the heavy-duty armor and their primary firearm was down-sized from a pulse energy shotgun to a normal ballistic variant, the change is believed to have been necessary, as it permits the SWORD elements to move faster and employ more effective shock tactics."
HOW TO COUNTER
Avoid fighting SWORDs at close-quarters as much as possible. Even Juggernauts can have their health drained in a few seconds at the hands of a SWORD.
