Legion

The Legion are the foot soldiers of the Rogue Strain and the predators of Marauders. Their main purpose is simply to suppress the Virus and have little interest in other wasteland factions. Even so, the legion will attack if they feel threatened, but are more likely to engage in warning behaviour. They typically miss shots on purpose to deter people from moving too close to them. While they may appear aggressive, the Legion are inherently neutral if people keep their distance.
== Appearance ==
Legion is wearing what appears to be a dark hazmat suit with a dark hood, the mask having light green glowing eyes. Both the normal Legion and the rifleman variety use a modified Mosin Nagant Rifle as their weapon, one for melee combat and the other as a firearm. The melee version is equipped with multiple makeshift bayonets, turning it into a spear. Said spear is called the Broken Nagant, and as it's name suggests, cannot be used for ranged combat due to it's condition. 
== Strengths & Weaknesses ==
The Legion is practically invincible, making the use of firearms on him wasteful, and should only be done when no other option is available. He could only be knocked unconscious for several seconds, providing enough time to move away from him. Legion is very slow however, so instead of confronting him, it is possible to simply walk away from him.
One possible way of disabling one specific Legion is to damage a Legion's nagant to the point of barely working. THAT would reduce hit chance and damage, and make them keep using gun instead of changing to unarmed which is a big bother. You can shoot in Vats to do that, or Engineer can have a perk to disable weapons with flare
Legion is considered abomination, so Flare Gun (or any weapon with buff frighten abomination) can scare them away.
== Notable Loot ==
*this section is regarding a bug in the Pandemic where you are able to kill a Legion.
When a Legion is killed, their corpse could be found with some .308 bullets and their carbine, which could cause significant damage. Another way to loot legion is by disarming them and taking their weapons.
== Combat methods ==
* Flare gun can scare them into running away with a hit, 100%. 
* Engineer can make Automaton Trooper which is a humanoid robot armed with an energy rifle. They can engage from faraway and shooting Legion to unconscious in short order.
* Psyker can summon daemonette and succubus who can fight Legion and attract their attention for a long time while summoner run away.
* Psyker can use Curse of Suspension on a Legion which will immobile them for a while at the cost of one soul shard.
* User of Alchemist Legion perk can crouch and activate Legions and Rotters. That way they can take Legion hearts and extracts from a legion unlimitedly because Legion cant die. With Rotters they can only take a heart before it explode, and gather the extract from their remains.
