Soldier

The soldier is an NPC type in Deus Ex. Soldiers encountered in the game are either hostile or friendly, depending on the actions taken by the player.

Background
Soldiers are service members of the United States military stationed at the Brooklyn Naval Shipyard. When Majestic 12 needed to use the shipyard for their clandestine activities in shipping the Gray Death virus, they utilized FEMA to take control of the part of the base under the pretext of an emergency. FEMA formed a perimeter within the base, which they sealed off from the regular garrison. One marine, Vinny, was pushed off-duty as a result of FEMA's activity at the base.

Characteristics
Soldiers have the same stats and combat behavior as other types of common troopers, including UNATCO troopers and MJ12 troopers. Soldiers have no special resistances against any damage type.

Encounters
Soldiers are encountered only at the Brooklyn Naval Shipyard. If JC Denton received Vinny's support, some of the soldiers in the base will be friendly.
