Acolyte



Acolytes are enemies from the game Strife. They are soldiers of The Order. They are dressed in full body armor, which covers a mostly cybernetic body, varying in color. Acolytes are armed with Assault Rifles, and most of them drop a Bullet Clip when killed. They attack only if the alarm is active, and the player can even talk to them while they are on stand-by, although most Acolytes are temperamental and will not want to talk to anyone.

Some Acolytes are dressed in Shadow Armor and are called Shadow Acolytes. They are translucent, but other than this are no different from ordinary Acolytes. All Acolytes have 70 Hit Points and take the same damage to kill as a Commando.

According to Macil the main platoon of Acolytes are controlled by a single program, created by the Programmer. This is why the player must eventually face him in the first part of the game. Acolytes are created by a machine known as the "Convertor". It is found inside the Factory near the commons.
