Soldiers in Prototype 2

[Esmond Ivers]

I have started playing Prototype 2 some hours ago. I haven’t reached much further in game when I noticed that soldiers in Prototype 2 have changed a lot as compared to the soldiers that were available in previous version. Can someone give some information on the soldiers in Prototype 2?

The U.S. Marine Corps are again present in Prototype 2 as they were in previous game. They were deployed in Manhattan in previous part for quarantining the infected people in city. They are equipped with armored cars, tanks and helicopters for attacking any threat they detect. In previous game, they were responsible for death of numerous people as they would kill without thinking anybody who would seem to be infected. Blackwatch considers them to be just a bait to bring out the infected monsters out of their hiding. They are not directly under control of Blackwatch, but their superiors order them to remain under control of Blackwatch.
Weapons used by U.S. Marine Corps are Assault Rifles, Machine Guns, Grenade Launchers, and Missile Launcher. There are three types of U.S. Marine Corps in this game, Marine, Marine Officer and Pilot. Marine is the normal soldier which can be found patrolling in the area for signs of any distress. They are equipped with tactical armor, helmet, and other such equipments. Weapons depend on the situation in the place they are placed. They cannot beat the highly infected monsters or characters like Alex Mercer and James Heller easily. They are only placed to defeat to minor infected monsters and humans. Marine Officers are easily distinguishable and usually found around armored trucks or army bases. They can be consumed by James Heller to gain special knowledge or special abilities. They are usually used to find parts of Web of Intrigue and usually follow a same path of patrolling. Pilots are similar to Marines, the only difference is that they can fly helicopters and when under attack, they run towards nearest helicopter and start attacking from it.

Strike Team is a group of Marine moving together. They are usually found in medium infected area or are seen protecting certain place. If you attack any of them, the unit who sees them starts notifying other units of their team. Due to this, the other units unite and start attacking together. To kill them you will need to use stealth attack or stealthily consume them. You will see a red icon on their heads which means that they have detected some threat and are notifying each other about it. If the unit transmitting situation over radio is not killed, he will call whole army at that spot which can become dangerous for Heller.

You will also find unmanned Ariel vehicles (UAV) flying around the base or specific locations. They are remotely controlled by U.S. Marine Corps and are used to detect presence of infected creatures around the area they are scanning. It cannot detect Heller and Alex when under disguise, but if any suspicious behavior is seen, it will call nearby troops in that area to check for any threat. They can be destroyed using Whipfist or targeted Flying Kick.

If you take a look on the troops by BlackWatchers, then these soldiers are genetically engineered to have more abilities and strength. Super Soldiers are one of them; they were also present in previous game. They have a good amount of energy and call easily beat Alex Mercer. One fight of their fist and Alex Mercer and Heller can go flying six feet long. They are even tough to beat even with powers of Heller and Alex Mercer. During experimentation of Blackwatchers, around 161 soldiers were injected with three week old DX-1120 strain of the Blacklight virus. This added a good amount of health and endurance to them. They also have a good amount of regeneration of power. If you don’t attack them for some time, you’ll see their health being regenerated. They have ability to detect infection making it difficult for Alex Mercer and Heller to hide under disguise. They have a good speed and jumping distance. They can even scale some medium heighted walls like Alex Mercer. They can even fight with the strong infected enemies due to their strength. They can even block the aeriel attacks and cannot be consumed by Alex and Heller. They are even resistant against explosions and heavy impacts that are implied by heavy vehicles being thrown at them.

Another soldier that has been introduced in prototype 2 is Blackwatch Soldier. They wear a black colored armor which also acts as a bio-hazard suit. The costume also includes gas mask, high vision and goggles. They are very weak and can be killed in single punch of Alex or Heller. Theya re usually seen with long range weapons and don’t tend to fight from short range. They usually move around in packs and are seen in areas with low threat or non-infected refugee areas. They are trained to kill humans without any mercy on detection of even slightest of infection on them.
You will also find Evolved soldiers in the game. They are normal soldiers who are just genetically enhanced by Alex Mercer using Whitelight virus to fight against Blackwatch and Gentek. For melee attacks they have a small blade which can damage Heller.

you will also encounter a Wiseman team in this game. This troop is formed using soldiers equipped with weapons from Blackwatch. They were specially assigned with task to find and kill Alex Mercer. They can be found near hives and possibly don’t come under attack of infected monsters. They work on decontaminating the infected liars and try to infect prototypes with pathogens that can cure the infection.
