To clear out a room, the  can utilze their Anti-Personnel grenades. The  is also equip with the Energy Pack, although this does not seem to have an effect in the game as of yet. The  is designed to be a little more offensive than the Soldier, and while not quite as powerful in damage or health, is able to make short work of close range units with their signature Thumper. They are well suited to all fields of combat and tactics, but really shine in removing multiple infantry from a tight space with hit and run maneuvers.
