It's possible to lure a Loper towards a Proto-Soldier and let them duke it out.

If you are fast enough, they will not have the time to retaliate, if they are trying to get close, simply retreat and repeat this method until he dies. Using the same combat method with the Sten is also very effective and this can be a safe method even on the highest difficulty, because the Proto-Soldiers are generally slow compared to their completed counterpart and some Nazi elite units. If you are using the Venom Gun, keep the barrels rotating so that you will be ready to fire at anytime. in X-Labs), try only shooting them briefly and quickly take cover. Fighting them at close range is not recommend due to their firepower and durability, but if you have to (i.e.

Unless you selected the hardest difficulties. They require a significant amount of damage to kill (about 100 rounds from the MP40, 60 rounds from the Sten, 40 rounds from the FG42, or 3 direct Panzerfaust hits).

Despite its horrifying appearance, the Proto-Soldiers are relatively easy to deal with even though they have 10 times as much health as a regular soldier.

The armor itself is purely cosmetic and does not seem to give them any damage resistance, and mostly serves to show how much damage they've taken. However, they do take extra damage from headshots. When fighting a Proto-Soldier remember their armor is not as strong as it looks and comes off after prolonged fire.

Most Proto-Soldiers have a Venom gun, but some of them are armed with Panzerfauststs instead. They're also found in the caves leading to Castle Wolfenstein. They are first encountered in the X-Labs fighting Lopers and later appear before the second boss fight. Proto-Soldiers are only found in Return to Castle Wolfenstein.
