Of the three opposing forces, Cerberus is the most tactically minded.

Their soldiers act with some sense of self-preservation, moving from cover to cover, attempting to flank the players as much as possible, using the jump-jets on their suits to take up elevated positions on their victims.

They will use smoke and frag grenades to deceive and destroy careless players, while their stealthy Phantoms sneak past and kill the unsuspecting from behind.

Their Atlas heavy mech is slow but is also a massive gamechanger, able to stomp through all but the heaviest fire (or one or two well-placed Cobra missiles) while laying down withering cannon fire or dropping unshielded squadmates with homing rockets.

The most basic of all Cerberus infantry, Assault Troopers frequently use frag grenades to force stubborn players out of cover, and they coordinate their fire with other units.

They have decent footspeed, allowing them to flank a squad, or reach a downed player to execute them before help arrives...
