Armed with an anti-material rifle, Ironside's Colonel Burton is the jack-of-all-trades. He can snipe infantry, and damage light vehicles and tanks alike. He can place timed and remote demo charges on structures and vehicles. He can also be upgraded to use high-explosive sniper rounds, which allow him to destroy most vehicles in one shot from long range.

• Strong Against: Infantry, Light Vehicles, Tanks, Buildings
• Weak Against: Anti-Infantry Vehicles, Helicopters, Aircraft

Anti Material Rifle

Selects the Anti Material Rifle. This weapon is most suited for attacking infantry, though it is pretty effective against vehicles and structures as well.

Knife

Selects the knife, for making stealthy infantry kills.

High Explosive Round

• Requires: Burton's Special Equipment upgrade

Selects High Explosive Rounds, which are extremely effective against vehicles and structures. They take a while to reload, however.

Timed Demo Charge

Places a timed demo charge on the selected target. The charge will detonate after twenty seconds.

Remote Demo Charge

Places a remote demo charge on the selected target. The charge will not detonate until the Detonate Charges ability is used. If Colonel Burton is killed before he detonates them, any placed remote demo charges will disappear.

Detonate Charges

Immediately detonates all Remote Demo Charges that have been placed.
