The Special Forces are an enemy Ptolemaic group introduced in Metal Slug 5.

Information

These soldiers are outfitted for urban operations and are often encountered indoors. They wear black jumpsuits and gas masks to blend in, as well as for a psychological effect.

Special Forces are equipped with knives (that they can also throw), pistols, grenades, and mines. Minimal loadout allows them to sprint faster than any other soldiers.

Special Forces are masters of concealment and ambush. They often attack unsuspecting targets in choke points (e.g. stairs and elevator shafts) or strike from their hiding spots (e.g. crates and ventilation shafts).

They are seen piloting motorcycles and Hover Units.

Troops

	Special Forces: The original urban soldiers.
	Special Forces Bikers: Special Forces skilled in motorized vehicles. They either try to ram or throw their vehicle onto enemies. Others have a sidecar with a missile launcher on it.
	Special Forces Divers: These Special Forces are equipped with swimming suits, breathing apparatus, and harpoon guns for underwater operations. Only seen in Mission 4, patrolling around the underwater Ptolemaic facility.
	Special Forces Engineers: These Special Forces are tasked with vehicle maintenance. Unequipped for combat, they flee if engaged. Only seen in Mission 2 and Mission 3. The latter mission has them tending to a stolen Slug Gunner.
