| - | The Browncoats are mercenary super-soldiers, even more super than the [[Coalition | Coalition's]] famous "Heavies". They're notorious for their monstrous resilience, and are less encumbered by all their armor than would be expected for other units. Mobility is augmented with extended-duty jetpacks, which few other units use; not that all this results in them being especially quick. Browncoats carry heavy weapons like they were strolling through the park just to see how it all burns.

| - | Their armory is characterized by lots of fire and tersely efficient names-- acronyms of their type and the number of shots they fire. Besides a heavy pistol, assault rifle, and sniper rifle, they field an incendiary shotgun, an incendiary rifle, a flamer, an artillery launcher with area-denial fire bombs, and a napalm grenade. The thing about napalm is that if it lands on a Browncoat, by the time the flames are out, the Browncoat will be down to a third or quarter health, and everyone else will have died halfway through the flames.

| - | As a [[Tech]], they don't seem to have ambitions to control the planet and mine its gold-- they're being paid by the people digging it up for them.

| - | The only Tech to field flame throwers (as of Build27), they are especially strong at defense-in-depth within bunkers. This translates well to offense-in-depth once outer defenses are breached. Flames deflect off concrete and keep burning, making bunker corners and corridors a Browncoat kill-zone. The rest of their pyro effects support a "hit-and-hide" strategy as there's no point taking shots when the flames are doing your work for you.

| - | The relatively high expense of Browncoats means numbers won't be on their side, and however tough they are they're hardly immortal. Good strategy and player multi-tasking is essential to keep your expensive monsters from being shot up before claiming their pounds of enemy flesh, or whatever the whoevers are made of. A combined-arms approach utilizing artillery, sniping, and medium-range suppression will enable Browncoats to use their extended flight times to close distance to their favorite range: up-close and ugly.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Browncoats are especially suited to anti-sniper activity given their strong resistance to headshots and their long-lasting jetpacks. Without good medium-range backup, enemy snipers can be picked off by Browncoats in the perfect opposite of how snipers like to do so.

| - | "Tough mercenaries who are well armored and equipped with strong jetpacks." <br>
| + | |
| - | A strong soldier capable of taking a headshot, like the [[Coalition]] units. Although not as strong as the Browncoat Heavy, it is stronger than any Coalition unit and can also withstand direct fire from many units at a time; therefore can be used as a shield for your light infantry or to buy you some time to send in reinforcements.

| - | === Browncoat Heavy ===
| + | |
| - | [[Image:Browncoat Heavy.png|left|]]
| + | |
| - | "An even stronger fighter than the 'ligher' variant, this monster can take quite a beating before he dies on you." <br>
| + | |
| - | When seen on the battlefield this unit instills fear in all who oppose it. It is said that the Browncoat Heavy can take up to 30 shots before death.
