| − | These units are the result of research from [[Alphonse Giraud|Doctor Alphonse Giraud]], who "defected" from [[GDI]].

||
| + | They are some of the most powerful members of the [[Forgotten]], whose strength and resilience make them ideal for defending mutant settlements from any and all hostiles, even other mutants. Most are extremely aggressive toward anyone not affiliated with them or their particular group, but some have been known to strike up deals with outside parties, most notably [[GDI]] and [[Nod]], trading their services for supplies. |
||
| − | The mixture sprayed from their tank can melt enemy units and structures. In this vein, they appear to be a throwback to the [[chem warrior]]s of the [[First Tiberium War]]. Within the [[Marked of Kane]], they replace the Black Hand soldiers in their combat roles, specializing in anti-infantry operations and clearing garrisoned buildings. Tiberium troopers have undergone significant Tiberium and cybernetic enhancement, and can be further upgraded with [[cybernetic legs]], significantly increasing their speed. Naturally, their suits also protect them from Tiberium exposure. |
||
| + | In the decade prior to the Scrin's arrival in 2048, Tiberium underwent another evolution that changed its properties. Those affected by it were subject to dramatic physiological alterations, many of them becoming bigger, stronger and more resilient. Among the physical changes were greater muscular and skeletal density, which made them much stronger and able to weild heavy weapons with ease, and thicker skin, which made them more resistant to physical harm. Among the mental changes were dramatically increased aggression and hostility toward anyone not affiliated with their own group. |
||
| − | Despite their impressive abilities, Tiberium Troopers have shortcomings. First, they lack durability compared to armoured units especially the ones that have anti- infantry machine guns. Additionally, their Tiberium weapons, while devastating against infantry, do little damage to vehicles, though they can slow vehicles down with their Tiberium spray, and are less effective against structures than the Black Hand's [[flame weaponry]]. Finally, aircraft such as the [[Hammerhead]] prove very effective when dealing with Tiberium troopers. However, Marked of Kane commanders do find the increase in speed provided by the Cybernetic Legs upgrade to be very useful and the Tiberium Troopers are generally considered to be a specialised anti-infantry unit capable of clearing out buildings, the only unit that can do so for the Marked of Kane. |
||
| + | Being so heavily mutated, they could survive in the most desolate of [[Yellow Zone]]s and even in some of the [[Red Zone]]s, where they had relative safety from intruders and a place to rally their forces. Most kept to themselves and were rarely seen outside their hideouts; some of them, however, did venture into the more habitable areas of the Yellow Zones and were sometimes seen on the fringes of [[Blue Zone]]s, hiring themselves out as mercenaries to GDI and Nod in exchange for supplies. By the end of the [[Third Tiberium War]], the Red Zones had become too hostile for even them to survive there, and they were gradually forced into the Blue Zones and overpopulated Yellow Zones as Tiberium underwent several major evolutionary changes. |

Revision as of 11:56, 9 September 2019
Mutant marauders are recruitable units in Tiberium Wars and Kane's Wrath.
Background
Marauders are towering humans who have suffered extensive Tiberium mutation. They are typically about eight feet or two and a half meters tall and have physical endurance far beyond that of normal humans, and tend to be much more aggressive than the average mutant. Their muscular and skeletal systems are much denser, giving them superhuman strength.
They are some of the most powerful members of the Forgotten, whose strength and resilience make them ideal for defending mutant settlements from any and all hostiles, even other mutants. Most are extremely aggressive toward anyone not affiliated with them or their particular group, but some have been known to strike up deals with outside parties, most notably GDI and Nod, trading their services for supplies.
In the decade prior to the Scrin's arrival in 2048, Tiberium underwent another evolution that changed its properties. Those affected by it were subject to dramatic physiological alterations, many of them becoming bigger, stronger and more resilient. Among the physical changes were greater muscular and skeletal density, which made them much stronger and able to weild heavy weapons with ease, and thicker skin, which made them more resistant to physical harm. Among the mental changes were dramatically increased aggression and hostility toward anyone not affiliated with their own group.
Being so heavily mutated, they could survive in the most desolate of Yellow Zones and even in some of the Red Zones, where they had relative safety from intruders and a place to rally their forces. Most kept to themselves and were rarely seen outside their hideouts; some of them, however, did venture into the more habitable areas of the Yellow Zones and were sometimes seen on the fringes of Blue Zones, hiring themselves out as mercenaries to GDI and Nod in exchange for supplies. By the end of the Third Tiberium War, the Red Zones had become too hostile for even them to survive there, and they were gradually forced into the Blue Zones and overpopulated Yellow Zones as Tiberium underwent several major evolutionary changes.
In-Game
Mutant marauders are special infantry units that only become available via the capture of a Mutant Hovel and are tougher than the basic infantry of playable factions. They are trained in squads of six and each marauder is armed with a minigun, making them lethal to both infantry and aircraft; they become particularly deadly when garrisoned inside an APC or structure and coupled with rocket-armed units. However, they are just as vulnerable to snipers and anti-infantry defenses, and they can't gain veterancy like standard infantry units, although picking up a Veterancy crate will slightly increase their hitpoints, which is indicated by their health bars turning orange. In Kane's Wrath, mutant marauders are seen to gain veterancy like other units, but only be seen by selecting them.
Marauders, being Tiberium mutants, are immune to Tiberium radiation and actually heal while standing in Tiberium fields. Strategically placing them in Tiberium fields during combat helps discourage human infantry from getting close, while allowing the marauders to regenerate in battle. Marauders also become stealthed when standing in Tiberium, allowing for ambush strategies.
