NEXUS Soldat

"'The pinacle of Nexus training, perfected in sound mind, body, and killer instinct.' - Unit description"NEXUS Soldats are one of the strongest units in the NEXUS Core's roster. They are seen very few times in the campaign, but when they show up, they mean business. They sport a Journeyman Tac-Bar, two corpus, core III dodge and they really like to dash to avoid incoming fire. Soldats are almost always seen with dual melee weapons, such as katanas and speclights, except for in a cutscene in Shakedown, where they have an NP-5 and a speclight. Despite having dual melee weapons, soldats will swing their weapons slowly, which gives the player enough time to block or dodge out of the way, but if they don't, the soldat will deal massive damage, and their swings after the first two hits will be faster, which can lead to a stunlock and subsequential loss of corpus.

Soldats are first seen in Shakedown, where one of them orders a group of NEXUS units to fire at Deimos and Christoff. Three of them are seen later in the level waiting for Deimos and Christoff to show up. They are seen again in Climb! where two of them ambush Sanford and Hank right before they enter the next room. Seven of them show up again in the next room, all ambushing Hank and Sanford at the same time. They show up again when Hank and Sanford and Hank are waiting for Deimos and Christoff to enable the bridge so that they can get across. They are then seen retreating with the other NEXUS from Sanford and Hank. They are never seen again after this.

Soldats also show up in arena mode, in the Nexus Core Facility stage, in the 3rd checkpoint and infinite mode, where they are always seen dual wielding speclights and always spawn by jumping down behind the player.

Appearance
Soldats wear a standard NEXUS suit, a black balaclava, a red uni-goggle, a red beret, an earpiece, a pair of black and red pauldrons, an MK2 NEXUS vest and black gloves.

Personality
They aren't seen much, but soldats seem to be serious and confident soldiers, charging into combat without fear. They seem to be highest ranking units of the NEXUS Core, as one of them is seen in Shakedown ordering a group of agents, scouts and engineers to fire at Deimos and Christoff. They are also seen as guards on the highest levels of the Science Tower, even guarding Phobos' desk.

Trivia

 * In older versions of the beta, the NEXUS Soldat's suit was brighter, the red stripes on the side were wider and they had a red stripe around their collar. They also had fingerless gloves, an old version of the MK2 NEXUS vest and their goggles were the same as the A.A.H.W.'s soldats, but red.
 * NEXUS Soldats can dual wield any weapon in the game, even if they are too weak to hold it with only one.
