Recovery Team

"Gene-spliced pararescue divers are courageous beyond measure and will stop at nothing to recover their objective.. - Cryovat description."

Available from the Cryovat at the Special Warfare Center, Recovery Team units are fast moving squad members unaffected by the weight of any gear they carry. They are well suited for rapid insertion and extraction, and particularly specialize in item and VIP retrieval, given their carrying capacity, movement speed, and general combat effectiveness.

Deadlifter
''Olympian-grade DNA means they are unmatched in fitness. Carried items do not slow them down.''

Salvage Junkie
A genetic impulse instills a determination to recover items in the field.

If the unit has an empty inventory slot, regardless of size, the unit will immediately run to and pickup the nearest item on the ground. This trait is passive and can only be avoided by filling the unit's inventory.

Hidden Traits
Recovery team members will automatically turn their back to any nearby friendlies in order to better cover the surrounding area.

Tactics

 * Because of their passive Salvage Junkie trait, it is advisable to fill a Recovery Team unit's inventory before starting a mission as to avoid having them run away from the squad to fill empty slots.
 * Since items do not slow them down, a player could considerably increase a Recovery Team unit's defensive capabilities by filling their inventory slots with armor, such as the Neo-Brigandine Capes.
 * Recovery Team units can quickly haul the bodies of multiple squad members back to the Helibase or directly to a Cryovat, as most Recovery Team classes possess multiple XL slots, none of which slow the unit down when filled.
 * Mixing Recovery Team members with units from the Killteam Division can result in an especially deadly squad capable of dishing out high amounts of damage very quickly.
 * Recovery Team units can quickly chase down fast-moving Strain units, particularly those that run instead of attacking the squad directly.

Trivia

 * Recovery Team units wear pilot helmets similar to those of the 'Alfa' AirCrew, as well as what appear to be bright orange life jackets.
