The ADVENT Trooper is an ADVENT enemy encountered in XCOM 2.
Description
The ADVENT trooper forms the backbone of ADVENT's military power. Their main function is to police the Earth's human population. However, they may also be assigned to guard key assets alongside other enemy types. Troopers are ostensibly human, clad in sleek, angular body armor. All troopers wear a face-concealing helmet that leaves only the mouth exposed.
Despite their appearance, ADVENT troopers are not entirely human. Underneath their armor, troopers are naturally bald, and have ears that fold back instead of protruding as is normal. Their helmets also hide their eyes, which are silvery and lack pupils. It is highly likely that they have been genetically modified to improve their combat ability. All troopers are brainwashed to be unerringly loyal to ADVENT.
The ADVENT troopers' main weapon is the Magnetic Rifle - an automatic Gauss rifle that fires electromagnetically accelerated projectiles.
In combat, ADVENT soldiers are capable of intelligent movement and strategic engagement. When lead by an ADVENT Captain, they can be a significant threat. Despite their discipline, their strict obedience makes them predictable.
Abilities
Like all other ADVENT and alien units, ADVENT troopers may call for reinforcements at any time. These reinforcements usually come in the form of other ADVENT units, and are brought into the battlefield by an airborne transport vehicle landing after 1 turn delay.
