Elite Soldier

The Elite Soldiers are special enemies in Time Crisis 5.

Overview

The Elite Soldiers are the "Normal" class drudges but dressed in full military uniforms instead of T-shirts and pants (except red and dark blue type soldiers), combat helmets instead of caps or tuques (except dark blue type soldiers), having minor changes (red type soldiers do not wear half-face masks and wear green visors instead of shades. Yellow type soldiers wear yellow visors instead of shades. Dark blue type soldiers wear combat helmets of a different design) and are equipped with a jump assist tool attached on their back and are wired to their arms and legs. This allows them to perform rolling jumps similar to what Keith Martin can do, and can do that in rapid succession which make them hard to hit (Keith Martin describes the Elite Soldiers as not being the normal drudges the next generation V.S.S.E. agents have encountered). However, the tool only gives the soldier a number of jumps before it runs out of power. Like the "Normal" class drudges, they are armed with the AK-12 assault rifle (based on the cancelled prototype model derived from the AK-200).

Endurance

Except for the dark blue soldiers, the Elite Soldiers are more bulletproof than the "Normal" class drudges in that they are able to resist more hits from special weapons (requiring at least 3 shots with the machine gun for non headshots) while using the handgun or shooting their heads (regardless of weapon used) will kill them instantly. The dark blue soldiers require 3 handgun shots or 8 machine gun shots to kill.

Scoring Notes

This section outlines the point distributions from the Elite Soldiers. These values are for points from first individual hits and do not include combos or bonuses.

*If the first shot is on the head, it is considered a "Kill" Shot meaning the scoring is the same as if the player used the handgun.
**Does not apply if the "Kill" Shot is on the head.
***Does not apply if the "Kill" and 1st Chaser Shots are on the head.
