Shock Trooper

The Shock Trooper is an Elite Class featured in Battlefield I: The Revolts. It appears on four multiplayer maps: Easter Rising, Khyber Pass, Tsingtao, and Wiemar. It is a defensive Elite making use of a shield, the Type 26 Hammerless and the Gauntlet Dagger. He starts with a large rectangular bullet-proof metal shield and the Type 26 Hammerless Japanese revolver with a tear gas grenade launcher attachment. The revolver has six rounds that push out the grenades, so six grenades can be fired with a reload after each one, but a different reload after six. When the aim button is pressed, the Shock Trooper leans behind the shield, making him pretty much impossible to hit, however; he is more vulnerable when using his pistol. His melee is just hitting the enemy with his shield. After each grenade is fired, he puts the pistol in his shield hand and grabs another grenade, puts it in and picks up the pistol to fire again. After all six bullets in the are expended firing grenades, the Shock Trooper puts the pistol in his left hand (shield hand) and reloads the revolver by top-breaking it- much like the Webley and the shells are ejected automatically and then six bullets are put in at once and the revolver is swung close and a grenade it loaded and it is ready to fire again. Hitting the switch weapon button results in the Shock Trooper putting the shield on his back and being able to use the revolver the same way, but be able to aim it. The Shock Trooper does posses medium armor- not as heavy as the Sentry, not as light as the other Elites. The armor is the same Luca wears in the "Avanti Savoia" war story. Gadget 1 allows the Shock Trooper to open a slider on the shield and crouch behind it, remove the grenade launcher attachment, and open up a tiny hole to stick the barrel of the pistol into. This way he can fire while protected, however; he moves very slow in this position and his eye slot is an entry for bullets to hit him. He also can't aim in this position. Gadget 2 allows him to put the shield on his back and use his pistol as a normal pistol but he puts a Gauntlet Dagger on his left hand. In this position, his back has added protection, he can aim and fire bullets out of his revolver, and his melee is the Gauntlet Dagger. The Gauntlet Dagger is used like a normal melee weapon and it can one hit kill targets and do a take-down like all melees, however; sometimes the Shock Trooper will stab the blade through the enemies skull sideways and then you have to fire your pistol into his head to take him down as a special animation. The Shock Trooper moves slower than the Sentry in full-protection mode, slightly faster than the Sentry normally, and as fast as regular infantry when the shield is on his back. When the shield is on his back, no melee attacks (including bayonet charges) work on him from the back, and same goes for the front when he is leaning behind his shield or is in full-protection mode. The Shock Trooper cannot use a gas mask (however he is immune to the effects of tear gas) and has three tear gas grenades.
