The Cyclops is a highly elite warrior who tends to wield a Lancer Mk2 which has been taken from a dead COG that they have killed. Their marksmanship is rivalled only by the Snipers and Theron class enemies. Generally speaking, they tend to be used as a sort of Shock Trooper but their combat style tends to be more along the lines of an aggressive Drone than some of the other shock troops.
While they are very good marksman and can be quite dangerous in groups which can flank you, possibly their most dangerous feature is their proficiency with the chainsaw bayonet. The Cyclops has a tendency to charge at a player with their chainsaw ready. In good cases, this will result in a chainsaw duel but in bad instances, they can catch you in the back with the chainsaw which results in instant death. Keep an eye and both ears out for these enemies. Be careful going in for chainsaw kills as well because in large groups, you may finish one kill only to become a victim from behind yourself.
