After fighting in many intense close-quarter situations, the soldiers of the SSU have become experts at this type of combat. Well known for their ability to craft makeshift weapons like Molotov Cocktails, members of the SSU Close Combat Squad form an integral part of the SSU forces. These grizzled and camouflaged squads carry Shotguns and a Flamethrower for maximum damage at close range, and their professionally painted armor shows the wear of multiple battles.
