Overview
Edit
Elites can be Soldiers or Leadfoots, so this is a strange classification of enemy. Elite simply means that a target has Fuse shielding and can't be damaged until the shielding is brought down. You know that an enemy has the shield because the target shimmers/glows while they're walking around.
Elite Soliders have a rejuvenating power that affects their allies. It's essential to kill Elites first because of this; otherwise, taking out their allies is harder to do, and it wastes a huge amount of ammo.
Don't use standard firearms against Elites. Basic firearms, including heavy weapons, deal no damage against Fuse shields.
It's especially dangerous to fight against Leadfoots with Elite shielding. However, a fast burst of fire can level the field pretty well. Naya and Izzy are both well armed for this. Jacob can do it when he needs to, but the drain on his ammo is more substantial.
Tactics
Edit
Weapon | Weapon Effectiveness | Tactic |
---|---|---|
Arcshot | High | Use multiple attacks to bring down an Elite's shield. |
Daybreaker | Very Low | Use Xenotech weapons to kill Elites. |
Dragonfly | Very Low | Use Xenotech weapons to kill Elites. |
Grenades | Moderate | Though worthless early on, grenades become effective against Elites once they become Fusion grenades. |
Guardian | Very Low | Use Xenotech weapons to kill Elites. |
Harbinger | Very Low | Use Xenotech weapons to kill Elites. |
Magshield | Moderate | Elites require more sustained Xenotech damage to drop their shields. It does enough damage to finish off an Elite whose shield has been brought down some, or to assist others in taking down the shield. |
Prowler | Very Low | Use Xenotech weapons to kill Elites. |
Savager | Very Low | Use Xenotech weapons to kill Elites. |
Shattergun | High | Izzy strips elite shields rather well, and she can spare the ammo to do it. |
Warp Rifle | High | The Warp Rifle strips Elite shields fairly well. |
Trivia
Edit
- Unlike other organic enemies, when Elite Soldiers are killed, they moan and groan as if they're suffering from intense migraines, which usually last for a few seconds, before exploding into nothing.
