Riot guards are enemies unique to Madness: Project Nexus (Classic) and MADNESS: Project Nexus, debuting in Episode 1.5. They wear protective armor and masks and tend to move much faster than the other units. They also possess TAC-Bars that are much harder to wear down than those of other enemies. They are very agile and often dodge by flipping, making it fairly difficult to land a hit on them. Most of them carry two weapons, usually a combination of one gun and a billy club. Because of their armor, they are able to take in a large amount of damage without dying. However, they will still die instantly if hit with A Nexus bolt.

MADNESS: Project Nexus[]

In MADNESS: Project Nexus, the Nexus Core have a unit called the NEXUS Tactician or Coreman that was changed to the NEXUS Riot Guard. They wield a lightweight shield that they will use to protect their selves from incoming damage (whether it be ranged, melee or unarmed) and a stun baton to deal damage against their adversaries but can also be seen wielding ranged weapons in Story Mode.

They look very different from their Classic appearance, now wielding more armor, making them slower but tougher when it comes to battle. This armor can be broken by dealing high amounts of damage against the tactician, which will expose their heads or body. Their attacks are also sluggish, which allows the player to get a hit on the guard. They can also be stunned by shoving / kicking them away with the scroll wheel, which will also leave them vulnerable.

They firstly appear in Sleeper Labs after crashing Dr. Hofnarr's, "game show", with a Riot Guard being called a "Coreman", and appear later on Deep Storage, The Last Leg and forward episodes. They also appear in the Arena Mode mission Nexus Core Facility.
