Shock Trooper

Shock Troopers are Imperial NPC's in DICE's Star Wars Battlefront that can be encountered in Survival or Skirmish.

Overview
In Missions mode, they are the Empire's heavy gunners.

They are one of the most dangerous enemies present in the single-player missions, having more health than regular NPC soldiers and a more powerful weapon. They will appear once the player has achieved 26 points and will continue to spawn from there on. They will also spawn on the player's side if friendly AI is enabled after the enemy side gains more than 25 points.

Trivia

 * They were originally the Empire's Hero Bodyguards until they were replaced by Imperial Royal Guards and made available as a skin.
 * The AI version of the Shock Trooper carries the backpack of a Sand Trooper.
