Butcher



Believed to be the surgeons performing all the Cyborg implantations, the Butchers are fleshy monstrosities capable of soaking immense amounts of damage in their hinged-on flesh. There are even reports of Butchers taking a recoilless rifle round to the chest and still keep on coming. They will close to melee range as fast as they can to try to engage with their heavy melee weapons.

Tactics
Predominately found on high level planets, Butchers are airdropped onto the battlefield, normally in groups of two to five, wherever 'Squadleader' Soldiers or Infantry Fighting Vehicles have raised an alarm to warn of a Helldiver's presence.

Butchers behave very much like Berserkers: after spawning they will quickly close to melee range and engage players in combat where just two or three strikes from their sawblades is enough to down a Helldiver. However, Butchers are far more resilient and can absorb a great deal more punishment than most other Cyborg infantry, making groups of them a significant threat and emphasizing the importance of focused fire when dealing with these foes.
