Entity Description

Combine Soldier

Combine Elite Soldier

This entity is a Combine soldier. It comes in several variants: Regular, Nova Prospekt, and Elite.

Note:If the "Elite" model is chosen, then the NPC must be equipped with the AR2.

Note:Although the Stunstick is a selectable weapon, there is a bug that renders it useless in combat. None of the three soldier variants have animations for this weapon, and they will merely stand in place instead of attacking the player.
