The Hyperion Soldier is a member of the Hyperion recon team.

The Hyperion Soldier is a highly mobile unit who seeks cover when attacked and fights with SMGs, or combat rifles and can throw grenades. Hyperion Soldiers wear leg and forearm armor, like Hyperion Heavy Gunners, with the addition of shoulder plates. Hyperion Soldiers can appear wearing either a balaclava or a helmet that resembles a gas mask while all Hyperion Guards wear the helmet.

Hyp Helmet

Background

The Hyperion recon team were deployed to Pandora to investigate the uprising and regain control from the Interplanetary Ninja Assassin Claptrap.

Involvement

Members of the Hyperion recon team present a brief encounter in the Hyperion Dump. They attempt to defend a fortified position against both Vault Hunters and claptraps.

Appearances

Strategy

Tactically, Hyperion Soldiers will seek cover once they sustain heavy fire. They will often run to low obstructions and will use these for cover while fighting, and crouch behind them when they need to reload. Soldiers wear armor plating that makes them immune to arm and upper leg shots. Corrosive weaponry is highly effective against Soldiers.
