==Overview==
== Overview ==
===Design details===
The Promethean Soldier Officer is primarily white in color with red glowing highlights, contrasting the regular unit's silver/grey color palette. Similar color differences are seen within the [[Knight Commander]]s. The Soldier Officer also appears slightly larger and taller than the standard Soldier, hence why Soldier Officers are sometimes nicknamed "Big Soldiers".
Although they bear some superficial similarities to the [[Promethean Knight]]s, these similarities are only aesthetic. Where Knights are created from [[Composer|composed]] essences of formerly-[[Sentience|sentient]] living beings, Officers (as with all armigers) are driven by a controlling [[ancilla]].{{Ref/Site|Id=CFLocke|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-under-locke-keynote|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Under Locke & Keynote|D=15|M=06|Y=2021}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}{{Ref/Site|Id=Forum|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/forums/db05ce78845f4120b062c50816008e5d/topics/canon-fodder-6-19-15-under-locke-keynote/a020824e-e55e-4802-b824-6d57ba6b1349/posts?page=2|Site=Halo Waypoint Forums|Page=Canon Fodder 6-19-15: Under Locke & Keynote|D=05|M=03|Y=2021}} As such, armigers are classed as a form of [[sentinel]] automata - not a Promethean.{{Ref/Book|Id=WFG|HWF|Page=90|Quote=Forerunner combat Sentinels used in planetary operations. The spread of the logic plague and corruption of armiger forces was a major blow to Warrior-Servant military effectiveness.}}


Armiger Officers are primarily white in color with red glowing highlights, contrasting the regular [[Promethean Soldier|Soldier's]] silver/grey color palette. Similar color differences are seen within the [[Knight Commander]]s. They stand slightly taller than their their lesser-ranked counterparts, and incorporate a visage designed to maximise psychological impact on their enemies. Their up-sized frame and preference for heavy weaponry such as the [[Z-520 splinter turret]] mean they are considered heavy units, though their robust command network suites also allow them to serve as field officers leading armiger detachments. As such, they can direct complex attack maneuvers at ranges of several kilometres, and use their heavy weaponry to provide suppressive fire.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}
Soldier Officers are commonly armed with [[Z-520 splinter turret|Splinter Turrets]].


==Gameplay==
== Gameplay ==
It is highly recommended to deal with Splinter Turret-wielding Soldier Officers from a safe distance as the Splinter Turret's projectiles are dangerous due to their strong knockback that can easily disrupt a Spartan while they are reviving another Spartan, which can then lead to the entire fireteam dying quickly. Use the scenery and thruster pack boosting to evade the projectiles, seek cover, and then fire away at the Soldier Officer with a precision weapon and/or explosive weapons. Soldier Officers have heavier armor than standard Soldiers, taking up to a full clip of a [[Z-110 Boltshot|Boltshot]] on [[Heroic]] or [[Legendary]] before their armor breaks.
