FND Special Forces Sniper
Special Forces Snipers shoot from long range like regular snipers, but they pull a sawed-off shotgun when you rush them. They also throw frags, which makes them some of the most dangerous FND soldiers.

Good to know
- Unlike normal FND Snipers, they don't run when you close in; they switch to a sawed-off 1887.
- They throw frag grenades to force you out of cover.
- They wear armour and hooded masks.
- Captain Lecuona fights as one in the defence of Esperanza.
- Insurgent leader Perseus Pérez is a Special Forces Sniper.
Behaviour
They snipe from cover, flush you out with frags, and blast you with a shotgun if you get close. Many are trained in guerrilla tactics and sabotage.
How to beat them
Don't rush across open ground. Approach from the side using cover, use armor-piercing rounds, and finish them before they can swap to the shotgun.
Where you meet them
Special Forces squads in tougher bases later in the game.

FND Special Forces Assaulter
Special Forces Assaulters open with RPG-7 rockets at range, then close in with AK-47s and flashbangs. They are tougher than any regular FND rifleman, so bring armor-piercing ammo.

FND Special Forces Flamer
Special Forces Flamers are walking fortresses that fire incendiary RPD rounds at range and switch to a flamethrower up close. Hit the fuel tank or bring armor-piercing rounds, because normal fire barely scratches them.
