Their armor does not protect them from explosions. A takedown can be performed against them, but one must be careful that the Elite or other enemies not see Aiden before he reaches his target. Focus is a great method to kill them, as shooting them in the chest will waste much more bullets than a single shot to the head. Headshots will still one-hit kill them, though. Elites are far more resistant, thanks to their body armor and military gear. They have good firepower that may be dangerous for the player, so having nearby cover when more than one shows up is very helpful. SWAT Elites use weapons such as the MP5 and M1014, while gang members use weapons such as the Goblin, SGR-12, R-2000, and on rare occasions, the D50.

On the Profiler, they are indicated by a red star, as seen on the picture.Įlites can be either Chicago South Club (casual clothes), Black Viceroys (makeshift uniform), Pawnee Militia (camouflaged uniform, no gloves), SWAT (green uniform), Blume (grey uniform), Fixers (black/blue uniform), Albion (black uniforms), Clan Kelley members (red uniforms).Įlites fight with more caution than Gunmen and Veterans. The color of their shirt indicate the gang they belong to ( Viceroys Elites wear orange shirts). Elites wear military gear that make them look like soldiers: a helmet, bulletproof vest, gloves, and military pants with boots and knee-pads.
