Replica Tactical Soldiers are a Replica Soldier unit in the F.E.A.R. series. They wear blue and white uniforms with black faceplate helmets, and have the code "T114" printed on their armor vests.
Both Timelines[]
F.E.A.R. First Encounter Assault Recon[]
Replica Tactical Soldiers appear in the F.E.A.R. opening cutscene as Paxton Fettel's personal bodyguards, and the Point Man occasionally fights them inside Armacham Technology Corporation Headquarters. They're usually found guarding hostages, such as Aldus Bishop or Alice Wade. Fittingly, these troopers are quite rare, and the player will encounter them only a few times within the game. They are the best armored replica soldiers, other than the Replica Elite Soldiers and Replica Laser Elite Soldiers, but the difference isn't too dramatic.
Vivendi Timeline[]
F.E.A.R. Extraction Point[]
Replica Tactical Soldiers are much more common in F.E.A.R. Extraction Point, making up the majority of the enemies. In the early church and apartments area they appear in small numbers alongside squads of Recon Replica Soldiers, while in the warehouse district (which is primarily patrolled by Replica Fatigues Soldiers) they seem to appear in fireteams leading assaults on the Point Man and Holiday's positions. They become the primary Replica forces faced in the subway lines area, while Replica Elite Soldiers become the primary opposition faced in the hospital.
Trivia[]
- The Replica Tactical Soldiers appear to be trained interrogators. Both Aldus Bishop and Alice Wade appear to have been beaten while in their hands. Whether any information was gotten out of them is unknown.
- They also appear to be expert bomb technicians, as Douglas Holiday tells a C4-strapped Bishop that "whoever did this was a pro".
- Oddly, although they don't make an appearance in F.E.A.R. Perseus Mandate, one appears on the box art for it.
- Due to their color scheme and possession of expert bomb knowledge or interrogation methods, it is quite possible these units had the intention of police or SWAT deployment.
