Armed with laser-guided snipers, marksmen pick off their targets from a distance with their superior accuracy. They have the ability to headshot the player, killing them in one hit. They also have the ability to see the player from far away, if they have not been seen yet.
Enforcer[]
Enforcers are elite brute soldiers and armed with ATSG-12 or the U100 LMG. With their superior armor, they can move up on the player without taking cover and they can soak up lots of damage.
