WeekendSoldier

A National Guard soldier patrolling in POSTAL 2.

The National Guard is a law enforcement organization in POSTAL 2.

POSTAL 2[]

The National Guard are deployed into Paradise on Thursday to assist the police in catching a "spree killer". They wear woodland uniforms and are armed with Machine Guns.

If a National Guard soldier is attacked, others in the area will run over to assist. This can be deadly unless the player is heavily armed. Ironically, National Guard soldiers aren't as powerful as SWAT (unlike SWAT, they are not equipped with body armor), but they still pack a punch and are much tougher than any generic foe. Unlike other law enforcement units in the game, National Guard soldiers do not attempt to arrest the Postal Dude, simply opting to shoot at him if they catch him committing a crime. Surprisingly, they will merely give the comment "Hey, Mister Peep Show!" like Police Force when the Dude is seen with unzipped pants but otherwise will not attempt to hinder him doing that.

Apocalypse Weekend[]

Following the Apocalypse on Friday, the National Guard remained in Paradise throughout the weekend. While retaining many of the same traits and armaments as they did in POSTAL 2, their helmets now render them immune to headshots from the sledgehammer and they are able to block frontal melee attacks with their rifles. They are also the only law enforcement seen in Apocalypse Weekend.

The National Guard are deployed in Lower Paradise to fight the Madcow zombie outbreak. They are most prominent at Military Base. More soldiers are encountered at the second visit to BullFish Interactive, which has been overrun with by zombies. They are lastly seen at The Bridge, directly attacking the Postal Dude as their jets bomb the bridge itself.

Eternal Damnation[]

The National Guard makes a brief appearance in the third party mod Eternal Damnation. Following the zombie outbreak in Hasselridge, the National Guard arrives at the Carnival and starts attacking the cemetery behind the main festival with a jet bomber. They quickly focus their efforts on attacking John Murray.

Soldiers in Eternal Damnation share some of the traits of their POSTAL 2 counterparts; one difference being that they are equipped with kevlar vests.

Trivia[]

  • Every National Guard soldier has the name "BreakYou" or "McJarhead" written on their shirt pockets. "Jarhead" is a slang term for an American soldier due to the haircuts they sport, resembling the top of a jar.
  • If a soldier is burned so badly that he is writhing on the ground, hitting him with a sledgehammer will still cause his blocking animation to play.
  • A group of friendly National Guard soldiers can be found held captive inside Tora Bora. If released, they will be non-hostile towards the player and will (at least attempt to) assist in fighting the al-Qaeda terrorists populating the level.
  • Soldiers can be seen properly employing trigger discipline while moving around.
  • Despite being National Guard, their sleeves sport United States Military Academy Cadet patches.
