Open combat reference →Choose a response.
| Threat | What to look for | Planning suggestion | What stays uncertain |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tier 2 Armored North Korean Soldiers | Armored North Korean infantry. | Recognize armor and supporting troops before crossing an exposed firing lane. | Exact health, armor durability, damage resistance and per-tier ingredient pools are unknown. |
| Tier 4 Faceless Armored North Korean Soldiers | Faceless armored North Korean infantry. | Recognize armor and supporting troops before crossing an exposed firing lane. | Exact health, armor durability, damage resistance and per-tier ingredient pools are unknown. |
| Jang-ui | Use the Lieutenant name banner to distinguish this target. | Confirm the target and active objective before entering; control the surrounding guards and doorways before committing. | Exact free-roam room, defenses and weapon configuration need better direct evidence. |
| The Chemist | Yellow hazmat suit and full-face mask, distinct from darker-suited guards. | Prepare radiation protection, clear the doorway, and preserve enough protection for the exit. | Cache ingredients must not be reassigned to the body. |
| Hunt Squad | AI pursuit squad associated with the Marked for Death warning. | Watch the kill-count warning and plan a disengagement route before continuing loud engagements. | Exact health, armor, damage and independent spawn frequency remain unknown. |
| Autonomous Combat Drone Swarm | Group of autonomous airborne combat drones. | Check overhead and move to cover before committing to a ground fight. | Exact health, armor, damage and independent spawn frequency remain unknown. |
| Deathstalker | Large airborne autonomous Commander; official description names dual machine-gun turrets. | Use roofs and doorways to break exposure between firing passes. | Capture duration, damage, range and guaranteed missile count remain unmeasured. |
| Elite Strike Team | Reported elite response unit; no exact visual uniform established. | Treat the named group as a separate response threat; do not assign an infantry tier from the label alone. | Exact health, armor, damage and independent spawn frequency remain unknown. |
| Lieutenant Escort | Troops accompanying a Lieutenant. | Account for escorts separately instead of concentrating the entire squad on the boss. | Exact health, armor, damage and independent spawn frequency remain unknown. |
| The Warden | Riot shield with armored escorts; reported tag is named Kang’s Dog Tag. | Clear escorts, then split firing angles so the shield cannot face the whole squad. | The Warden/Kang is not merged with General Kang from Critical Extraction. |
| Rival Operators combat reference | Human-controlled Operators, solo or in squads. | Watch nearby approaches while a squadmate checks the loot. | No universal player loadout, hostility, health state or route can be inferred from an NPC tier. |
| Colossus | Heavy armored suit, face respirator and a yellow rear canister. | Use sustained bullet fire from solid cover; the walkthrough reports an in-game warning that the suit resists explosive attacks. | Explosive resistance is a reported behavior, not a measured universal immunity across every weapon. |
| Main NK Battle Tank | North Korean armored tracked tank. | Keep solid structures between the squad and the tank; avoid committing everyone to an exposed firing angle. | A specific weak point, armor value, measured weapon choice and fixed patrol route are not established. |
| K9 robot dogs | Autonomous four-legged robot. | Use cover and identify the current objective before committing ammunition or collecting loot. | Shopping Hacks asks for intact cores before detonation; this does not establish a universal random drop pool. |
| Road Convoys | Hostile vehicle formation on Hajin roads. | Check the convoy’s approach and keep an escape route off the road. | Exact health, armor, damage and independent spawn frequency remain unknown. |
| Roze | Dark hood and full face covering in the named portrait. | Use rooftop machinery and the stairwell for cover and recovery; watch overhead as well as the target. | An Astaroth or other gun beside the body does not establish a fixed signature loadout. |
| Gorani | Ghillie camouflage and a water-deer skull mask. | Identify the target among camouflaged escorts and use cover to reposition between volleys. | Incisor reward is explicitly unconfirmed in the existing acquisition record. |
| Tier 1 North Korean Grunts | Basic North Korean infantry. | Recognize armor and supporting troops before crossing an exposed firing lane. | Exact health, armor durability, damage resistance and per-tier ingredient pools are unknown. |
| Combat Drones | Combat Drones named by The Grid Order. | Use cover and identify the current objective before committing ammunition or collecting loot. | Exact visual model and equivalence to the official swarm/LMG categories is unresolved. |
| Autonomous LMG Combat Drone | Autonomous airborne platform carrying an LMG. | Break its firing angle with solid cover; exact weak points are unresolved. | Exact health, armor, damage and independent spawn frequency remain unknown. |
| The Scavenger | Hooded net camouflage with a red armband in the named Boss Board portrait. | Fight from cover at the edge of the reported car park rather than crossing open ground. | Exact spawn selection, signature weapon and repeat loot pool remain unknown. |
| Jin-Tae | Named portrait shows short dark hair, a tan sleeveless top and a gold chain. | Leave the exposed gaming floor and use the rear office doorways to control the approach. | High Roller’s Fortune remains an unconfirmed named reward. |
| Tier 3 Armored Gas Masked North Korean Soldiers | Armored North Korean infantry with gas masks. | Recognize armor and supporting troops before crossing an exposed firing lane. | Exact health, armor durability, damage resistance and per-tier ingredient pools are unknown. |
| Attack Infantry Helicopter Patrol | Hostile helicopter patrol. | Identify whether the aircraft is an ordinary patrol or a named Commander before committing equipment. | Exact health, armor, damage and independent spawn frequency remain unknown. |
| Iskra | Named portrait shows dark hair, headset and green outer clothing. | Clear the lower halls, keep a fallback landing, and track movement between flights. | Nearby guard guns and contents of a separate cache are not all boss drops. |
| Bale | Green enclosed helmet and heavy ammunition belt in the named Boss Board portrait. | Clear side rooms and approach from offset doorways. | No exact defense statistics or universal attachment set. |
| Heavy Combat Drones | Heavy Combat Drones named by The Grid Order. | Use cover and identify the current objective before committing ammunition or collecting loot. | A heavier name does not establish armor, tier or equivalence to another drone identity. |
| The Doctor | White protective hood, full gas mask and blue straps in the named portrait. | Use the current Lieutenant marker and check adjacent hospital corridors before looting. | No supported unique weak point or quantitative defense. |
