Helldiver Defenders are the unmovable objects of humanity, capable of holding their ground in any situation. They have a bulkier look and a helmet reminiscent of the knights of Old Earth and used to double as riot police before humanity unified properly.

• The Defender Uniform, a cosmetic helmet, armor, and cape.

• CR-9 ‘Suppressor’: A semi-automatic rifle firing small fragmentation grenades. It is a volatile weapon but capable of devastating large masses of enemies, hence the nickname ‘Suppressor’.

• AD-334 ‘Guard Dog’: A backpack drone system, featuring an automated defensive combat drone armed with a small submachinegun. The drone circles ahead, firing at targets of opportunity and will land in the backpack to reload.
