FND Special Forces Assaulter
Special Forces Assaulters open with RPG-7 rockets at range, then close in with AK-47s and flashbangs. They are tougher than any regular FND rifleman, so bring armor-piercing ammo.

Appears in

Insurgency: Nicolás NajarroInsurgency: Nicolás Najarro is a weekly endgame Insurgency in Esperanza, led by FND loyalist Nicolás Najarro. Loyalists are flooding the capital with propaganda, and you hunt the leader behind it.
Good to know
- They wear body armour and helmets and take more damage than most FND soldiers.
- They throw flashbangs to stun you if you surprise them up close.
- They are deadlier than Rocketeers because they swap to an AK-47 rather than an SMG-11.
- Their RPG is a modernised version that you can't pick up.
- Insurgent leaders Andrés Caballero and Nicolás Najarro are Special Forces Assaulters.
Behaviour
They start long-range with rockets to scatter you, then push in with rifles. Many have demolitions training and work alongside Officers.
How to beat them
Use armor-piercing rounds and stay behind solid cover when the rockets start. Look away or back off when you hear a flashbang, then return fire.
Where you meet them
Higher-tier bases and Special Forces units, mostly later in the campaign. Captain Isidoro Rasgado and Sergeant Jorrín fight this way.

FND Special Forces Flamer
Special Forces Flamers are walking fortresses that fire incendiary RPD rounds at range and switch to a flamethrower up close. Hit the fuel tank or bring armor-piercing rounds, because normal fire barely scratches them.

FND Special Forces Sniper
Special Forces Snipers shoot from long range like regular snipers, but they pull a sawed-off shotgun when you rush them. They also throw frags, which makes them some of the most dangerous FND soldiers.
