Although inferior in damage and range compared to the machine gun, Assault units however pack a punch nonetheless. Often armed with SMGs, they can be devastating when used in defence, or amassed and used in a mass assault, specially when utilised at close range, mauling infantry.
Generally speaking:
- Assault infantry have poorer range, but make up for it with better attack, and sometimes greater mobility and rate of fire.
- Must research Replaceable Parts from the Heavy Engineering Depot in order to be unlocked.
