Possessed Security

Possessed Security are former human security guards that are now possessed by demons. They are a recurring enemy in Doom.

In-Game Description
UAC REPORT FILE: CHV3PWYX

''Possessed Security units exhibit the most complex battle strategies of all possessed humans, including mobile shield advances towards the enemy and firing while in defilade. Possessed Security will also drop their shields to adopt a more accurate firing stance at the cost of their defense.''

''A Possessed Security will keep an optimal distance from its target. If the target gets too close, the Possessed Security will attack with a ferocious shield bash then retreat to a preferred engagement range. Possessed Security have only been observed using the DS-117 UAC shotgun and shield outfit which suggests that their ranks are exclusively created from members of a special forces military unit called the UAC NeoPhalanx. The NeoPhalanx is used exclusively as military defense for remote UAC colonies.''

Appearance
They have the same appearance as the Possessed Soldier but are armored with a plasma shotgun and a big, transparent energy shield which can take a lot of damage before turning red and breaking.

Combat Characteristics
The Possessed Security will try to keep themselves distanced from the player just like the Possessed Soldiers. Their behavior differs from the latter by using their shield as an advantage. They will slowly advance towards the player while shooting at him.

Tactical Analysis
The Possessed Security is one of the worst enemies to face in close spaces because of their huge shield which protects them from a lot of damage before breaking. Shooting the shield works, but is a waste of ammo as the player can and should use their agility as an advantage by jumping behind the Possessed Security and finishing them off with a few shotgun blasts.
