The Soldier is a class featured in Resistance 2Cooperative Mode. Soldiers are the "tanks" of Specter Team who endure the most damage as well as inflict the most damage, and are recognized for their default iconic weapon, the HVAP Wraith. Soldiers typically lead the charge, using their Wraith's force barrier to provide cover for themselves and their comrades. Any damage their force barrier absorbs is converted into additional XP.
Once activated, the player will explode if they are killed, stand close to an enemy, or a few seconds have passed. They will not be penalized with a suicide or death.
Causes most enemies to focus on the player. Any damage received or absorbed by the player's force barrier during the berserk will be returned to the attackers. When used the player automatically receives full voltage for the Wraith's shield.
