UN Raid Force Alpha is the most elite force in BLKOUT. They focus on precision and efficiency, making each model count as a force multiplier.
The Raid Force rules reflect their elite status, with fewer models needed to achieve greater results. Each model in UN Raid Force Alpha is worth 2-3 of a regular unit, bringing superior firepower, durability, and flexibility to the table. Their discipline and training mean that they are adept at denying the enemy any opportunity to react.
Raid Force Alpha's force rule is the most powerful in the game. UTG models in the force will always roll an additional D10 in skill checks. This means in shooting, CQC, and more! This is incredibly powerful and can lead to them throwing 4D10 at their targets in the open.
Armory
Raid Force Alpha's armory is built to complement their elite nature. With a mix of anti-armor and precision weapons, they can handle any situation. With micro launchers to apply blasts to multiple grouped models, and the lance for neutralizing heavier enemy units. Raid Force Alpha doesn't get many uses of their armory, but they can land them with ease.
Raid Force Alpha brings some of the most synergistic battle drills to the game. Adding +1 damage to shooting at the same target allows even carbines to take down heavier units, while the anti-material rifle simply becomes a cannon! With switchback, you can not only advance towards the enemy but do so under the cover of smoke. This allows the UTG to utilize their enhanced CQC abilities, meaning they can destroy multiple enemy models in the same round, leading them to out-action their enemies.
UN Raid Force Alpha Units
Raid Force Alpha operates in small but powerful teams, each designed to operate independently while still providing overwhelming support when needed.
UN Assaulters
The backbone of the Raid Force, the Assaulters. These models come standard with jump(4) and carbines, meaning they are fast and can close the CQB distance quickly. Their skill 5 and armor 1/5 means they're glass cannons but in cover will be highly defendable. This combined with their grenade launcher throwing a minimum of 3D10 when targeting blast markers means they can shift enemies out of cover and blast away whole fireteams that are poorly positioned!
UN Specialists
UN Specialists are a longer-range version of the Assaulters. They trade the grenade launcher for the feared anti-material rifle. This massive weapon will one-shot infantry and can destroy most vehicles in one shot. This unit is perfect on defense since the deployed rule means the rifle has issues moving and shooting. This combined with the combat load on the grunt in the unit means this unit can push up to higher ground and ignore enemy cover below, meaning you're winning gunfights almost every time.
UN Golems
Golems are famously "the most busted unit in the game" with their huge armor and sustained rifles. Golems are the spearhead and backbone of the Raid Force. With jump, they're able to move around the board and claim better cover, meaning infantry-based weapons will bounce off of them easily while they rain fire down on them. The shrieker is an insane two-damage weapon that ignores cover negatives, meaning you can pick off an infantry model twice per game, instantly killing them.
UN Raid Force Alpha: Elite and Tactical
Raid Force Alpha is all about precision and overwhelming superiority. Unlike other forces, they do not rely on sheer numbers or brute strength but instead use their elite skills to outmaneuver and outperform the enemy. Their smaller unit count means players must be deliberate with every action, making them a high-skill ceiling force that rewards careful planning and decisive execution.
