The Beheaded Kamikaze is one of Mental's most common minions. Created from executed Sirian soldiers who are brought back from the dead with the powerful LCU (Life Control Unit) technology.
The Beheaded Kamikaze is designed as a powerful shock trooper to both create fear and panic in their enemies. In all respects, the Kamikaze is an undead Sirian, having being beheaded by Mental and an LCU unit attached. The LCU is programmed to allow full control of a host's nervous system in response to pre-programmed orders or on the fly commands. With two very basic, but powerful fragmentation bombs attached to each hand designed to explode within a certain distance from their target, the Kamikaze is an extremely dangerous enemy.
They are a favorite weapon in Mental's army due to the unnatural suicidal behavior programmed into their LCUs. In combination with the scream produced by the LCU's basic vocal synthesizer, this both confuses and instills fear in the enemy. However, the LCU has limited AI and usually cannot discern obstacles, only some cliff faces or sheer drops, leading to them getting stuck regularly or entering friendly fire.
Kamikaze are very fast and almost always appear in groups. While extremely weak compared to bigger, tougher enemies, their attack can leave any target in devastation, ripping through armor and health.
They will run directly at Sam, regardless of distace or location until they are dead. When within an approximate radius of 2-3 feet, they will detonate. When they are killed, they will also detonate.
Beheaded Kamikaze are extremely easy to kill, but because of their sheer numbers and allied with bigger threats, they should be dispatched quickly before they can get too close. Ideal weapons are the Minigun or other automatic weapons, which usually kill a Kamikaze in two hits. Shotguns have limited effectiveness as you need to get close to use those weapons effectively, which should be avoided. Explosives are also effective if you can kill more than one, but this is a very inefficient method of dispatching them. Melee should be avoided at all costs.
Because Kamikaze explode on death, it is ideal to have them explode near other targets, dealing damage, especially other Kamikaze as this could kill them and create a chain reaction.
If a Kamikaze gets too close, you can hit them with a low powered weapon, such as the pistol, and it will make them flinch, causing them halt for a moment and giving you space to finish them off.
