| “ | Marine SPF! - Task Force Commando |
” |
The Task Force commando is the basic, yet elite, infantry unit of Task Force Talon.
Background[]
Task Force Talon commandos have been handpicked from all branches of the US military. Their primary role is to provide eyes and ears on the ground for more-powerful units and to clear and defend buildings. Few infantry units can match up with these commandos in urban combat.[2]
Overview[]
Task Force Commandos are very expensive for a basic infantry unit, costing significantly more than Marine and AK-74 soldiers. They are powerful and versatile, but do not stand well against their elite specialist infantry, namely Delta Force and Optical Camo soldier, which the TFT normally lacks an equivalent to normally. The main use of these such units is to simply fight off enemy infantry, perform recon and support other units in attacks.
Abilities[]
|
Capture Selected unit(s) will capture all enemy POWs in the target location designated on the map. |
|
Crawl Selected unit will change to crawl stance. A crawling soldier is much harder to detect for enemy units, but reduces speed. Ability can only be used if the infantry is in standing stance. |
|
Stand up Selected unit will change to standing stance. A standing soldier has increased speed, but can be easily detected and picked off by enemy units. Ability can only be used if the infantry is in crawling stance. |
|
Ambush Selected unit(s) will hide behind cover, such as trees or civilian vehicles, to do more damage. |
Upgrades[]
|
CQB Capture Training Increases the number of surviving enemy crew members and heavily wounded soldiers on the battlefield. |
|
GUOS Drone Deployment Costs $1000. All Task Force Commandos can launch GUOS drones for scouting purposes. GUOS drones reveal all stealth units. |
|
Future Force Warrior (High Treason) Costs $550. Upgrades the Task Force Commando to a Future Force Warrior. |
|
|
GUOS Mine (High Treason) In High Treason the GUOS Drone Deployment upgrade enables TFT Commandos to deploy GUOS Mines instead of GUOS Drones, they have the same functions as the drone and can be remotely or automatically detonated. In addition to the $1000 cost of the upgrade, each GUOS Mine costs a further $200 to deploy. |
