"Red Berets"

"Red Berets" are the stormtrooper faction unit of the Red Monarchy. Their stats are only middling relative to an upgraded stormtrooper, although the extra unit per squad is a nice bonus. Like all faction units, they become extremely powerful when fully upgraded.

Compared to decently upgraded and skinned Stormtroopers (no equipment), Red Berets may only just barely outperform Stormtroopers in health and damage even with 1 additional member per squad; even with maxed faction research they won't particularly surpass the per-unit health of Stormtroopers and they won't match the firing speed of Stormtroopers due to the "Cartridge Belt" upgrade. As it stands, their effectiveness is quite debatable particularly since it costs 3 regular Stormtrooper squads as well as 50 steel, 100 ammo and 100 recruits to create a single Red Berets squad.

This table summarizes all of the research that can benefit Red Berets. For full details, see the specific research pages.

Unit skins
There is one skin for Red Berets, which can be purchased in the faction shop when it is open. No upgrades are currently available for the skin. Note that the duplicate value of this skin is equal to the purchase price (so rebuying it in the store will simply get your spheres back).
