Assault Troopers are the current backbone of the Helghast Army of New Helghan. They are the successor of the Assault Infantry.
Tactics[]
After the decimation of the Helghast population at the end of the Second Extrasolar War, the Helghast had to make several large changes to their military doctrine. The Helghast army was composed of masses of lightly trained and equipped assault troopers, however as there is only a fraction of the previous population to recruit from they are no longer the lightly trained, expendable units that won through overwhelming numbers. To compensate for their smaller numbers, each assault trooper is now rigorously trained and well equipped.[1]
The first notable improvement to the troopers is that they feature full composite body armor which cover the majority of their bodies, compared to older troopers who wore only a helmet and light chest armor that left their limbs and facial area exposed. Another change is that troopers are now armed with the StA409 Keyzer assault rifle as their standard firearm, replacing the aging StA-52. Finally, besides their armor plates the helmets of these troopers have tubes linked to them. These soldiers will try to take you down in groups and easy to kill if engaged or if there is a group just deploy the OWL in attack mode and it will assist you in fighting.

Chapter 9: The Destroyer[]
- "I lost my entire family here... everyone. I was the only person in my family who survived... and then they keep us like animals, it sickens me... yes, brother. There will be a reckoning. Stahl knows this. Vekta will be ours...the civilians will not be killed; we will give them the chance to leave... If they choose to stay, that is a different matter... that planet is ours, we were there first."
