Special Infantry that accepts orders. Up to 3 other nearby Infantry will automatically follow the Sergeant's current order.
The sergeant
Characteristics[]
The Sergeant is a heavily armored version of the Soldier, with significantly more survivability and thus being a very strong all-around infantry. They are perfect for cheesing into an outpost at the moment it's neutralized and storing 4 additional ones in the outpost bunkers, making it very difficult to break one filled with Sergeant.
Advantages
Low upkeep for the amount of survivability the infantry gives
Their bulk makes it difficult to kill
Sergeants have enough DPS in groups to deal with punching through initial outpostinfantry just fine
Disadvantages
High build cost means you need to deliberately use them and cannot be spammed
Standard move time means that the delay between entering outposts may cause problems
Good Loadouts
Almost all loadouts can use Sergeant effectively
Offensive units ready to secure enemy outposts benefit especially
Trivia[]
Sergeant also was able to accept commands, the only infantry back then that was allowed to. Furthermore, it allowed up to 3 nearby Infantryunits accept the same command which opened up more compacted infantry strategies along with Boxer.
Sergeant once gave a small healing bonus to infantry under its command.
