Gameplay

Attacks

Fire command: Protector shotgun

• Bullets cause knockback against smaller Mooks.
• Explode corpses when pushed against terrain.
• Damage: Around 5 damage at point-blank and around 8 damage at max range.
• Range: 10 blocks.
• Rate of Fire: Around 3 shots per second if held, Around 5 shots per second at max firing speed.

Special command: Adrenaline shot

• Gives significant speed boost and fire rate to Broniversal Soldier. He also starts flexing.
• Resurrects all nearby defeated enemies, as long as they are not gibbed.
• Revived enemies will copy Broniversal Soldier's movement and attack with him.
• Indicated by small red lines on revived enemies distinguish them from other enemies.
• Resurrected enemies die easily as they take fall and fire damage, but revived Bros (except for faster or slower ones) can just about keep up with every movement.
• He can Revive himself after death if the body is intact.
• During multiplayer he is able to revive intact players and will resume that player's control of the Bro.
• Ammunition: 3, 6 prior to Broforce Forever update.
• Prior to Broforce Forever update, there was a glitch that caused the special ability to not be consumed while repeatedly tapping the use button, thus rendered him partially invincible (can still be killed by falling and instant gib damage).
• Damage: Depends on which body was revived, equivalent to their respective weapon. They will not damage the Broniversal Solder due to being allied (except Rocket Mook and Executioner who deal an indiscriminate AOE damage and thus ill-advised to revive one).
• Range: Roughly 3-block radius around Broniversal Soldier.
• Doesn't work on Vehicles, Bosses, enemies that self-destruct when killed, and enemies classified as Pure Evil.

Melee Command: Kicks

• Has various versions depends on where he is.

Trivia

• He has a serious glitch, which involves abusing his revive to prevent getting killed and switching into another Bro (Via rescuing a Prisoner of War/Dying). When the specific Bro is killed, the player will be frozen on the screen forever, unable to move and will not be switched to another bro even if there are spare lives remaining.
  • This issue cannot be resolved, but the save file that encountered this glitch can be overwritten, removing it altogether.
  • In addition, once this happened, restarting the level/game will cause the vehicle that is intended to deploy the player NOT to show up, causing the game unable to proceed.
  • This may be caused by his ability to glitch lives by spamming revive, and only appears in IronBro campaigns

• If a revived Facehugger impregnates an enemy, the Xenomorph produced is still hostile.
• The only alien he is able to revive is the Facehugger.
• Spamming his special is one of the best tactics to remain alive.
