Shock Trooper

The Shock Trooper is an Order soldier encountered in Abiotic Factor. Like other members of the Order, it can appear standing guard or patrolling with allied soldiers, and it is hostile to entities, robots, and the player. In combat, it behaves as a ranged opponent and will also use melee attacks when close.

Its most notable drops make it a useful source of military supplies. On death, it always drops a Romag Shotgun, 12g Buckshot, and Magnetic Alloy, with additional chances to drop Military Electronics, a Cracked Shoulder Light, a CQC Helmet, a Military M.R.E., and Cloth Scrap. When harvested, it can also yield a Human Skull and sometimes a Human Arm (Military).

• Ranged weapons are effective against Shock Troopers, since they periodically try to move away from the player.
• Shields can block both their gunfire and their melee attacks.
• The Shock Trooper lacks a Compendium entry, unlike other Order enemies.
• It shares its torso layout with the Medic, including identical medical equipment on the chest rig, though the attached accessories are not textured correctly and can appear glitched.

Shock Troopers can also interact with traps and defensive devices: when an enemy steps into a trap, it is damaged and stunned, and the trap then requires 30 seconds to recharge before it can be used again.
