Trandoshans, or derogatively known as Trandos, are lizard like creatures that are enemies in Star Wars: Republic Commando. They mainly use projectile weapons.
Strategy[]
Trandoshans are usually deadlier up close than afar, with their shotguns, knives, and SMGs having poor accuracy. While not as powerful as Geonosians and SBDs, they are still deadly in packs, as they are nimble in foot and jetpack. In a couple ways, they are less annoying to deal with than battle droids, as they are vulnerable to flashbangs and projectile weapons, plus they have bigger hitbox frames to target.
Mercenary[]
They use SMGS and Concussion Rifles. They often fly in on jetpacks, taking potshots from afar. Sometimes they climb onto empty turrets to bombard the squad, but a well-placed sonic/thermal grenade will kill them. If you get the drop on them, target their yellow jetpack to send them flying to their deaths.
Berserker/Slaver[]
Shorter than their brethren, they carry an ACP Array Shotgun and often come in packs. It is sometimes best to take them out first, as if you don't kill them fast enough, they'll drop the shotguns pull out their knives, rage rushing at you. Hard mode will have a group of these taking you down in seconds. Your DC blaster sometimes isn't fast enough, so take a shotgun for yourself and headshot them. Or use grenades/snipe them from afar. If you're surrounded, your melee attack is your best weapon.
Mercanary Elites[]
The Mercanary Elites are the largest Trandos, encountered twice on the ghost ship and numerous times on the Wookiee homeworld of Kashyyyk. They are armed with the LJ-150 heavy ACP repeater. You should hide behind cover, squad focus fire on them, and snipe their heads from afar. It's suggested to use Flashbangs to stun them for headshots.
