Spetsnaz

The **Spetsnaz** are the special forces of the Russian Armed Forces and are one of the two antagonistic factions in BlastGen and return in BlastGen II.

## BlastGen

### Campaign

They make their first and only appearance in the mission Prison Break, where they are called in by the Russian forces as reinforcements when the prison guards and military fail to stop Miller's team from escaping with the two American prisoners. They are slightly tougher than regular Russian soldiers and are more experienced, being able to fire from cover, throwing stun grenades and smoke grenades quite frequently, especially on Expert difficulty, to which they are the most formidable enemies in the game. Spetsnaz snipers are extremely deadly, being able to put the player down in one hit on harder difficulties, so the players should prioritize the snipers at all costs.

### Multiplayer

The Spetsnaz serve as the second enemy faction in Multiplayer, alongside the Hell's Redeemers. They are playable on Russian maps. They reuse the same uniforms they used in the Campaign. In the remastered version, they use different camouflage patterns depending on the terrain in the map. They always fight the USMC, much like the Hell's Redeemers.

## BlastGen II

The Spetsnaz is the main antagonistic faction in the SAS campaign. Unlike in BlastGen, the Spetsnaz are more cowardly and stupid on lower difficulties, commonly blind firing and missing their shots, rushing at the player sometimes, and even pulling out a Frag Grenade but forgetting to throw it and blow themselves up. However, on higher difficulties, their AI becomes significantly more intelligent, being able to accurately fire from cover, throw grenades more often, and
