Note that the Elite Guard also maintains a stockpile of Soviet-era arms and equipment, but the arms listed below are those that were designed by the Elite Guard.
PPE PISTOL: The Personal Protector Elite Pistol is a
combination of a handgun and a machine pistol. This allows the user to either
fire it single round or automatic, and thus it also carries a larger clip than
ordinary pistols. This is usually given to vehicle crews for self-defense or to
Alpha Soldiers as a sidearm.
AK-47 EG VERSION: The AK-47 used by the Elite Guard, while at first appearing similar appearance, has undergone extensive modification by the Elite Guard while still maintain its current designation. The rifle is now constructed of light, sturdy materials and come equipped with a larger barrel and bigger magazine clip. The AK-47 (sometimes called the EG-47 to differentiate it from its original model) comes in two versions: a long-range version with a laser scope, and an assault version with a fitted grenade launcher.
EGS-06 SNIPER RIFLE: The EGS-06 is a high-powered, long range rifle that is given to Stealth Soldiers for use in sniping. The rifle uses 30.06 rounds that are fired at a high velocity, given the round enough power to penetrate most infantry body armor. The rifle can be fitted with a silencer and a scope in either infra-red or night vision, depending on the setting.
MAGNETIC RIFLE: The Magnetic Rifle is a new, futuristic energy weapon that fires beams of magnetic energy at high velocity. Magnetic energy is compressed into bullet-like pellets which are then fired through a miniature mass driver. The pellets explode in a powerful burst upon contract with a solid object and can penetrate walls and some armors. While the rifle is capable of recharging, excessive and continuous use can leave the user unable to fire until sufficient energy is restored. The Magnetic Rifle is given to Paladins.
BUZZBLADE: The Buzzblade is a small robotic unit that comes in a soccer-ball sized sphere. When deployed the sphere unfolds to release four blades that rapidly spin up to provide lift. The buzzblade then attempts to attack any hostile by using its spinning blades as a saw to lacerate enemies. The buzzblade is surprisingly resilient to counterattacks and is capable of bouncing off any object it collides with. The buzzblade is used as an anti-infantry weapon and can be carried by individual soldiers. The buzzblade is activated either by a soldier, motion sensors or by remote triggers.
ALPHA SOLDIER: Alpha Soldiers (also known as "alphas") are the rank-and-file troops of the Elite Guard. Despite their status, alphas are well-trained and equipped soldiers who can present a challenge to any infantry force. Their body armor is a refined version of Kevlar and metallic fibers that provide not only provide good protection, but are also lightweight and very comfortable. Alphas are used as frontline troops and as guards for most facilities installations. They are also sometimes given mechanical and technical roles. They are generally equipped with AK-47 EG rifles.
STEALTH SOLDIER: The Stealth Soldier is the scout and sniper of the Elite Guard infantry forces. Their uniforms contain small electronic devices that, when activated, allows the soldier to cloak and blend in with his/her environment, rendering them near invisible unless they move. This allows them to sneak past many enemy defenses and to conceal them from hostiles. The downside is that their body armor lacks the strength of their Alpha Soldier counterparts. Stealth Soldiers are armed with EGS-06 Rifles.
BLACK PAW SOLDIER: The Black Paw soldier is the name given to the special forces commandoes of the Elite Guard. Tasked with infiltration, sabotage and other tactical combat duties, the Black Paws are exceptionally trained and are on par with most special forces units around the world. Their armor contains the same cloaking technology as that of Stealth Soldiers, but with the strength and resilience of the Alpha Soldier's armor. They come equipped with the SCAR-BP 100 silenced rifle and plastic explosive charges.
PALADIN SOLDIER: The best and most dangerous soldiers in the Elite Guard is the Paladin. Only the most fanatically loyalists of General Franco are given the honor of being a paladin. A Paladin wears a high-tech battle armor that resembles the armor of a medieval knight, which not only gives the soldier great protection, but the suits come equipped with jet packs that allow a Paladin to fly over short distances and are also capable of administering adrenaline and morphine to its user when needed. Combined with the Magnetic Rifle and their fanaticism, the Paladin Soldiers are a force to be reckoned with.
BATTERY BUGGY: The Battery Buggy is a dune buggy that has been modified to act as a reconnaissance, first strike and infantry support vehicle. Two machine guns are fitted for the side and rear passengers to fire at infantry targets, while rocket packs attached to the rear to provide artillery support and rudimentary air defense. They are good at providing support for attacking infantry forces, but their poor armor renders them vulnerable to heavier arms such as tanks.
RHINO TANK: The Rhino Tank is the primary battle tank of the Elite Guard forces. It's design is derived from the Soviet T-72, but with many modern upgrades such as a computerized aiming and targeting system, a 100mm barrel and reactive armor. The most prominent feature of the Rhino is the crescent-shaped shield fitted to the front. It is used not only to protect the tank from frontal attacks, but also as a means to ram vehicles and structures as well as to scoop up landmines and other hazards.
ARMORED SOLDIER
CARRIER:
The Armored Soldier Carrier is a custom-built troop carrier whose design is a
mixture of the Russian BTR and an ordinary bus. Armor-plating and large wheels
not only allow it to traverse various kinds of terrain but also provide good
protection to the large number of troops it carries. Aside from troop
transportation, the ASC can also be converted in a field hospital if required.
TEMPLAR: The Templar battle mech is the latest addition to the Elite Guard arsenal, a product of reverse engineering of the hulks of ruined GONV mechs that lay scattered about following the Techno War. A large, two-story bi-pedal mechanized robot armor, the Templar is a versatile and well-armed beast. It's one hand is a powerful laser that can cut through most obstacles, while the other hand is a claw that is capable of even tearing off the turret of a tank. A single pilot controls the Templar using advanced computerized controls, making the pilot a one-man tank.
CLOAK TANK: The Cloak Tank is a treaded platform that carries a mobile cloaking field generator. The field created by a cloak tank allows not only it to be hidden from view, but can also hide a significant number of forces in a small radius around itself. This allows an Elite Guard commander to sneak forces past unsuspecting enemy formations and launch surprise attacks. However, because of the equipment needed to generate the cloaking field, the Cloak Tank lacks armor and is very vulnerable to enemy fire once detected.
VULTURE FIGHTER: The Vulture is the bulk of the Elite Guard's air force. A VTOL aircraft, the Vulture lacks the armor and firepower of many contemporary fighter jets, it makes up for it with speed, manoeuvrability and a highly accurate front laser gun. It can fly much faster and turn more quickly, giving it an edge in dogfights and even allow a skilled pilot to dodge incoming missiles without using countermeasures. It cannot carry more than two missiles or two bombs, thus making it unsuitable for long-range engagements and ground attacks. But while it many not outgun its adversaries, it can certainly out-fly them.
OWL HELI-TRANSPORTER: The Owl is a significantly upgraded Russian Mil Transport Helicopter that carries its own cloak generator, allowing the Owl to remain hidden even when in flight. It is capable of ferrying soldiers and strike teams without alerting enemy forces. Aside from a pair of mounted machine guns on either side, the Owl is unable to defend itself if detected and carries little armor. Therefore escorts generally provide protection to the Owl.
SKYLIFT
HELICOPTER:
The Skylift is a massive helicopter with four power
rotor engines and a strong frame, allowing it to carry three Elite Guard combat
vehicles over large distances. It has good speed and its construction gives it
good resilience against hostile fire, though it is not invulnerable and
protection is still recommended for these transports.
