“ | Gravity? What's that? | ” |
—A Cosmonaut expresses his excitement about weightlessness |
The Cosmonaut is a campaign-exclusive infantry used by both Soviet and Epsilon forces.
Overview[]
Cosmonauts are equipped with all the necessary life support equipment to survive in the vacuum of space and a jet pack like that used by Allied Rocketeers, allowing them to fly around the battlefield. However, this causes them to be vulnerable to anti-air weapons. They are armed with a laser cannon that is most effective against enemy infantry and vehicles.
Appearances[]
“ | Thanks to Yuri and his technology, which we've managed to capture on Earth, you are now able to train Cosmonauts. They can fly above obstacles and destroy enemies with laser blasters. | ” |
—Soviet intel during Operation: Earthrise |

Challenges[]
