The Virus Raider is a special "Frontal Assault" type unit whose primary job is to be the Vanguard of an attack and inflict as much damage as possible in a short amount of time. They have extremely high mobility and are very agile. They're also armed with some of the strongest automatic weapons in the game. This combination of speed and power make them very powerful, however these exceptional offensive stats come at the expense of defense. They armor is relatively light, making them fragile in nature. Due to this weakness, their survivability often comes down to their ability to dodge and avoid danger rather than face it.
