The Nexus Agents (not to be confused with the A.A.H.Ws l33t Agent) are low tier all rounder enemies that debuted in MADNESS: Project Nexus. Nexus Agents are the most common and lowest ranking unit the Nexus Core has. On their own they aren't a major threat, however in large groups they are tactical and do coordinated attacks. Capable of wrecking havoc or overwhelming targets if not prepared for the numbers.
They first appear in the Commercial Sector stage Sleeper Labs alongside other Nexus units storming Tricky's Murder Time game at the end of the stage. They later make an appearance in Deep Storage in squads alongside Nexus Supports. After clearing these stages, they will naturally spawn alongside Nexus Supports in the Commercial Sector's hub.They are later present in all of the Science Tower stages, trying to defend it from Hank, Sanford, Deimos and Dr. Christoff. After clearing some levels they will also spawn in the hub. Various Nexus Agents can be seen running away from the city alongside Nexus Scouts and G03LM MK2s in the game's credits. In Arena Mode the Nexus Agents are encountered as the most common enemy in the Infiltration stage Nexus Core Facility. They are also the only enemy to show up in the inbetween rooms, providing the Player character and their squad with weapons on death.
Appearance
Looking similar to the l33t Agents the Nexus Agents wear red shades and an earpiece. The agent outfit they wear is black suit with red lapels on the side. The tie with the suit is also colored red. On their body is a radio piece that glows red and sometimes across their suit is a bandolier.
Personality
Nexus Agents are tactical and serious when it comes to their job. Showing dedication and loyalty to the Nexus Core, however a few can seen to be talking in slang and causal conversations.
Strategy
Nexus Agent can often be seen wielding medium to higher tier firearms and melee weapons. Often pistols and sometimes automatic weapons depending on the occasion. If not equipped with any firearms they wield extendable batons as default. Thanks to being all round fighters with the large variety of weapons at their disposal they can properly utilize them all. When hiding behind cover with firearms they emphasize on firing suppression or area control. Like all Nexus Core units they can dual wield firearms and melee weapons and have all Core 2 Skills besides Acrobatic.
