MERC Recruit

"'Uh oh.' - Unit Description"Recruits are the lowest ranking members of the MERC, and also the most common. They possess very little fighting skills, being outclassed by even a bandit survivor. Recruits are usually seen brandishing low tier pistols or MERC weapons such as the MERC L and MERC H. But they can still be seen with melee weapons such as bats, machettes, crowbars, etc. Recruits can also rarely be seen with a helmet, like in the end of Boom Factory,.

Their first apperance is in the Warehouse Raid stage, but they can be seen in the Industrial Sector before completing that mission. They are last seen in flood control, after either Jorge or Church go down.

The recruits also appear in arena mode, in the foundry stage, where they, again, serve as the weakest and most common enemy, almost always armed with a crowbar.

Appearance
Recruits wear a standard MERC uniform with orange-ish stripes on it and nothing else. Though they can be seen with a military helmet in some rooms of Warehouse Raid and Boom Factory.

Trivia

 * In older versions of the beta, the MERC recruit's uniform was darker and had no orange bits to it.
 * Old concept art shows that recruits would dual wield weapons, despite not knowing how to do that properly. Higher ranking MERCs would also kill recruits to reach their target if they were in their way.
