NEXUS Support

"'The Basketball Center of a Nexus unit. They hold key choke points and defend them against trespassers at all costs.' - Unit Description"NEXUS Supports are very slow and resistant enemies. They are always seen carrying a breach mare, which is does a lot of damage and can knock the player down, but due to its size and weight, it is encumbered to a slow heavy attack. They have no Tac-Bar, but they do have a large amount of health. Like MERC Gunners, once they take enough damage, they will go into a looping stun, in which the player can easily finish them off with an execution.

Supports first show up in Deep Storage, trying to stop Hank and Christoff from getting to the divergence engines. Supports show up again in every level where NEXUS Core makes an appearance, up until Climb! where they, along with all other NEXUS units, run away from Sanford and Hank.

Appearance
NEXUS Support units are larger than average Nevadeans (1.2 times). They wear a large black, gray, and red helmet with a red glow in the eyes. They have a long tube from their cannister on the back that connects to the mask, a black balaclava, black and red pauldrons, a big red metal vest and a standard NEXUS suit. It is unknown what the cannister is for, but presumably, supports can't breathe very well with their mask on.

Personality
Supports don't show any personality in the game, barely rarely saying anything outside of the generic NEXUS chatter. But their behavior indicates that they are brave, and will charge in without fear (unless the situation is really messed up).

Trivia

 * In older versions of the beta, the NEXUS Support's uniform was brighter, the red stripes on the side were wider and they had a red stripe around their collar. They also had fingerless gloves a brighter mask with a different shape, the old MK1 NEXUS vest and their pauldrons only had a bit of red around the black.
 * They still have their old design in some Posters
 * In older versions of the beta, they used a breaching hammer instead of a breachmare.
 * In even older versions, supports used pistols and were much less tanky.
