The Lasrian Military will antagonise the player from the very start of the game until the penultimate level. There are several types which you will encounter. Standard soldiers carry an assortment of weapons ranging from assault rifles to shotguns. They are outfitted with some armor and a gas mask with goggles. They tend to employ realistic military combat tactics- they will take cover when fired upon, will use grenades to draw the player out and frequently change positions in order to close in on their target. They also have a nasty melee if Hayden gets too close for comfort.
