Saboteur (Zero Hour)

Saboteurs are first trained by GLA late in their war against the USA and China. The Saboteur was trained in stealth techniques, and could even climb cliffs to infiltrate enemy bases. Once inside, the Saboteur could enter enemy facilities and power them down for a time. If a Saboteur entered an enemy Command Center, the timers for the deployment of special promotional abilities would be reset.

GLA commanders had to have an Arms Dealer on the battlefield before they could train Saboteurs.

Tactics/Counters
The Saboteur had a very limited purpose, but if used tactically they could turn a battle around. Potentially they could delay the deployment of special powers and superweapons, shut down a base's power or prevent the construction of vehicles/training of infantry. At the right moment this could give a GLA commander a considerable tactical advantage. However, they were unarmed and could only perform one attack. The only defense that a Saboteur had was to avoid detection.

Please do not mistake this unit with the Nod Saboteur from the Tiberium War, which is used as an engineer.
