— 1.4 Patch Notes

Overview

The Junior Officer is an Infantry unit introduced in the 1.4 Patch that can be trained at the Barracks.

The Junior Officer wields a Sidearm that fires three consecutive shots per attack. It can be used twice before requiring a reload, which takes only 3 turns, allowing for consistent offensive output. Its base damage, Offense, and range are both higher than those of the Shock Trooper, making the two units comparable in performance despite their differing attack styles. The Junior Officer also has a relatively high Bravery stat, improving its resistance to Suppression.

At Rank 3, the Junior Officer gains access to Sidearm: Point Blank. Point Blank fires a single shot with a range of 1, higher Offense, and an increased critical chance against Infantry. The ability is most effective for finishing weakened targets or delaying a reload after the unit’s ammunition has been depleted.

Trivia

• It appears that when the Junior Officer faces forward, it wears a green cap, but when it faces backwards, it wears a blue cap.
• The Junior Officer is one of the only trainable soldiers not wearing a gas mask, the others being the units at the Frontier Recruitment HQ and the Cryo Trooper (the 2.6 loading screen depicting otherwise).
• Although Point Blank has only 1 shot of damage, it shares the same animation as Triple Shot, and thus fires thrice.
