In addition to the Tesla guns, Tesla Troopers can also project an EM field around themselves, disrupting the internal electronics of all enemy vehicles in its vicinity.

They can also be used as emergency power supply for Tesla coils, in case of power failure. However, its slow rate of fire means that it is best used as an anti-tank weapon, as faster vehicles and infantry can simply out run the Tesla troopers. The Tesla trooper is armed with a pair of Tesla guns built directly into the arms of their armour, which are effective against both infantry and vehicles. However, during this time, the Tesla trooper is also immobile. However, they can be stunned by their roar, and - if in EM disruptor mode - will not turn off enemy machinery.Īctivates electro-magnetic disruptors which completely disable all enemy vehicles in the vicinity. Animal Proof: Tesla troopers cannot be harmed by dogs or bears, making these cheap anti-infantry units helpless against them.Foolish commanders fighting against the Union that have sent out tank divisions without anti-infantry support have often witnessed their expensive vehicles fried to a crisp by small divisions of these walking tanks. Uncrushable: Tesla troopers are immune to being crushed by tanks except large units (Apocalypse Tank etc.).Because of this, they are typically better suited for defensive measures. Slow and Steady: Due to their heavy mechanical suits, Tesla troopers are less mobile than most other infantry.They are also deadly against individual infantry, but their slow rate of fire prevents them from being good against massed soldiers. Tank Destroyers: Tesla troopers are extremely potent against tanks and mechanical targets due to their electrical attacks.However, activating the EM disruptor also renders them immobile and unable to attack. In addition, their Tesla weapons can be used to power Tesla coils, keeping them operational even when a blackout occurs.įurthermore, they are equipped with electromagnetic disruptors, allowing them to disable all enemy vehicles within a short radius. Clad in massive suits of powered armour and armed with integrated Tesla guns, these soldiers are extremely effective against armoured units, since their Tesla guns can cut through most armour, and their bulky battlesuit prevents them from being crushed by tank treads. Tesla troopers are the Soviet Union's elite shock troopers. 8.4 Trying to move when using EM disruptors.
