Biohazard Guard

Biohazard Guards, also known as Core Workers or Core TechniciansThe name Core Worker/Technician is found in the game files and refers to the steam regulator core where some of them work; however, the ones in Catacombs are labelled as "Core" as well despite their not operating anywhere near the regulator., include technicians working in lethal areas at the steam regulator facility and mercenaries deployed to combat trigens in areas where the nerve gas is used. They wear a full hazmat suit protecting them from hot steam as well as from biochemical agents. 
== Physical description ==
thumb|The apparatus carried on the back
No part of the skin is exposed as their entire bodies are tightly covered with a white hazmat suit which affords protection from hot steam found in the steam regulator facility or any other hazardous agents. The biohazard symbol on the abdomen suggests that it was designed particularly with biological hazards in mind. 
On the head they wear a hood which is separate from the rest of the suit and extends below the neckline. A facepiece is strapped around the hood, rendering their faces invisible. The player can confirm their presence just by hearing their unique mask-filtered voice. They are often heard coughing, sneezing or making other similar sounds.
They wear special black gloves that apparently encase the thumb and index finger separately and the rest together to facilitate manual work. Their footwear are brown boots strengthened with metal plates for protection. The green elements on the suit include the kneepads and the bands woven into the suit that extend from the armpits to the knees laterally. Their waist is girdled by a belt attached to two suspenders visible on the front. The belt is used to carry four items of an unidentified device. On the back, they carry an apparatus consisting of two containers and a mini-console nested in between; used for supplying oxygen to the wearer and/or as a cooling system within the suit. There are short dark protrusions on the shoulders but their use is uncertain. They also carry a camera-like device on the left side of their chest.
== Appearances ==
These guards are rare and typically found in hazardous environments such as the ancient temple in Catacombs where nerve gas was deployed to counter the trigens but are not a particularly big threat, especially compared to other mercenaries and the trigens. The only unique trait they have that the other mercs lack is they can travel through areas which are saturated with the nerve gas. 
They initially wield M4s but later in the game they will carry P90s. One is also seen wielding a Desert Eagle once in the entire game.
=== Regulator ===
There are 2 biohazard guards (named Andrey and Petar), equipped with M4's, working in the hallway connecting the junction rooms and 1 (named Vlad), equipped with a Falcon, in the third junction room. They are busy working with screwdrivers.
=== Control ===
There are 6 biohazard guards split into two groups. 3 of them are encountered fighting the trigens near the steam emitted downwards from a pipe. The other 3 are found in the generator room behind that steam.
A seventh biohazard guard is fighting the trigens with indoor guards in the tall machine room near the end.
=== Rebellion ===
Only a dead biohazard guard is found in the second room near the exit from the control center. 
=== Catacombs ===
There are two teams of biohazard guards, each fighting the trigens in a different chamber of the temple. A third team of 3 arrives as reinforcements by fast-roping from a helicopter. In this level, they all use P90.

==Trivia ==
*Though Biohazard Guards are never seen wielding or using Jackhammers, it is interesting to note that at the start of the level Rebellion, near the first Trigen seen in the level, a Jackhammer is on the ground. If the player goes to the next room, the corpse of a Biohazard guard is in the room but there are no weapons around him, which means he could have been wielding the weapon but was killed by the Trigens and was either flung or dragged into the next room. It is possible that the Jackhammer in question belonged to one of the three dead Indoor Guard mercenaries found in the room after the corpse of the Biohazard Guard.
