NEXUS Engineer

"'Builders of secret worlds.' - Unit Description"NEXUS Engineers are proper fighters of the NEXUS, similar to the A.A.H.W.'s engineers, but much tougher. They possess 2 corpus, a stronger Tac-Bar (though it still is a Novice Tac-Bar) more health, and all of the behaviors from A.A.H.W. engineers and behaviors from NEXUS units. They can also use the "Locked on shot" ability. This shot will completely ignore the player's Tac-Bar if it is not dodged in time. Engineers can also sometimes be seen taking cover behind a wall, and popping out from behind it to shoot at enemies, this can make them a bit harder to kill as there is no way to kill them through the wall they are hiding behind, and there is usually no way to flank them. Engineers are usually seen wielding shotguns and SMGs, but they can still sometimes be seen with nightsticks, pistols and rifles.

Engineers first show up in Sleeper Labs, ambushing Hank, Christoff and Tricky. Engineers 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.

Engineers also show up in arena mode, in the Nexus Core Facility stage.

Appearance
NEXUS Engineers wear a red NEXUS suit with a rope around it, a red MK2 NEXUS vest, a black beret and a mask similar to the ones the A.A.H.W.'s engineers wear, but red and with a crest going down the middle of it.

Personality
Engineers seem to be more commanding, usually giving orders to other units, usually orders to hold down an area from incoming attackers. Engineers also seem to do work fixing issues around their bases, like when one engineer in a flashback tells a riot guard he will fix a breach in the sector with his welder.

Trivia

 * In older versions of the beta, the NEXUS Engineer'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 earpiece, a red beret and an old version of the MK2 NEXUS vest. Their mask was also didn't have a crest going down the middle.
