Sand Rats are a unique group that have transitioned from the humid, murky realms of the swamp to the harsh, arid expanses of the desert. Formerly known as Swamp Rats, these individuals sought new challenges and environments, trading their familiar, dank surroundings for the relentless heat and vastness of the desert landscape.
To adapt to their new conditions, they undertook the rigorous Desert Viper training, a program designed to equip operatives with the skills needed for survival and efficiency in desert warfare. However, during this transformation, the Sand Rats often found themselves marginalized by the conventional Desert Vipers, who viewed them with suspicion or disdain.
Understanding the value of their previous experiences, the Sand Rats have creatively adapted their gear, integrating elements from their time in the Swamp Viper Unit. This customization reflects their commitment to blending the best of both worlds, incorporating features suited for the desert while maintaining a connection to their swamp origins. Their unique approach not only aids their adaptation but also sets them apart as a distinct and resourceful faction within the broader tactical community.
