Appearance

The Hyperion Soldier is a highly mobile unit who seeks cover when attacked and fights with SMGs, Machine Guns, or Assault Rifles and can throw grenades. Hyperion Soldiers wear leg and forearm armor, like Hyperion Heavy Gunners, with the addition of shoulder plates. Hyperion Soldiers can appear wearing either a balaclava or a helmet that resembles a gas mask while all Hyperion Guards wear the helmet.

Strategy

Tactically, Hyperion Soldiers will seek cover once they sustain heavy fire. They will often run to low obstructions and will use these for cover while fighting, and crouch behind them when they need to reload. Soldiers wear armor plating that makes them immune to arm and upper leg shots. As with many armored units, corrosive weaponry is highly effective against Soldiers.

Hyperion Soldier-Traps

The Hyperion recon team soon falls victim to the Robot Revolution and becomes claptrapped to swell the ranks of the rebel Claptrap army. "-Trapped" soldiers act exactly the same as their normal counterparts but their appearance will differ slightly. Soldier-traps wear the "claptrapped" headgear of an assimilated human and have one eye replaced or augmented by a Claptrap-type red reticle. Claptrapped Hyperion Soldiers may be found in Sanders Gorge, the Dividing Faults, and the Hyperion Dump (upon returning to the dump after the Hyperion 'Super-Bad' Soldier is killed).
