Description
Sporting a distinctive white uniform with a single red ocular sensor, the Elite are the deadliest of the Combine foot-soldiers as well as the most heavily augmented. They are similar to regular Combine soldiers, save for a few differences.
Because of their improvements, the Elite forces are tougher, more accurate, and inflict more damage than regular Soldiers. They are always equipped with the Overwatch Standard-Issue Pulse Rifle and are the only enemies who seem to have access to the weapon's secondary-fire disintegration grenade. They use this advantage without hesitation and with surprising accuracy. Elites engage in direct combat against enemies and haven't been seen driving vehicles, although they do travel in dropships.
Because they are higher in rank, Elites will often lead a squad of regular soldiers in battle. They are fewer in number than regular soldiers, and are thus reserved for the most critical combat missions. They also serve as security for the Citadel and as Dr. Breen's personal guards.
