These human enemies wear heavy body armor, making them much more resilient to damage than standard infantry. They often carry LMGs or shotguns. While they don't have a specific glowing weak point, headshots are still the most effective way to take them down quickly. Explosives can also strip their armor or deal significant damage. The 'Rapid Strike' Cyber Core can be effective for a quick melee takedown if you can get close. Use tactical grenades to disorient them before engaging.
