Force-Blade
Standard issue in all Infiltration Suits, Standard Exo-Suits, Agile Exo-Suits and Reinforced Exo-Suits, the Force-Blade is a generally a weapon of last resort. (Default key: 5)
However, if a Soldier can manage to get close enough to use it, it does do a considerable amount of damage, particularly in secondary mode, with the aid of a Melee Booster implant.
Many Infiltrators use this weapon exclusively, as it requires no ammo, and no holster space, only a steely nerve.
Secondary mode activates the powered force edge of the blade, doubling the damage per stab, but also creating a distinctive and clearly audiable noise as it does so.
(Note: This weapon is part of the soldier's armor and so cannot be looted.)
