Enemies | Walkthrough Hatred Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Types of enemies aren't very numerous in the game, you won't have to complete boss fights, during which you need to use creative tactics. There are only 3 types of enemies present in the game, differentiating between themselves by their durability, equipment, and, to some extend, by their behavior.

Regular cops

The most common (up to the fifth mission) type of enemy you will encounter in the game. They have a low durability (2-3 rounds from a pistol should suffice to kill them) and their equipment is limited to pistols and shotguns. Their behavior depends on their current equipment - cops wielding pistols are often trying to keep their distance from you and attack the character from different sides, while those equipped with a shotgun are almost always rushing at you, attacking from a very close distance. As far as pistol-wielding policemen are almost harmless, those carrying shotguns may be lethal, especially in larger numbers and if they are able to catch the player unprepared, in tight, narrow spaces.

They lack any special equipment, such as grenades, bulletproof vests, or rocket launchers.

SWAT Team members

This elite police unit (like in real life) is a lot more effective than a "regular" cop. SWAT Team members have higher durability, their main weapon is always an SMG, meaning that they are able to deal many times higher damage than a "regular" policeman. They are also equipped with lethal (to the player) Flashbangs, which, after hitting you, decrease the movement speed of the character, and making the bullets from your weapons scatter around the whole screen. It's a really dangerous scenario to be in, especially when there are numerous SWAT members nearby.

Their equipment causes them to focus on engaging the player in close combat, to either throw a flashbang, or fire a series off their SMG - try to keep them at a distance. SWAT Team members are the only source of SMGs, as well as flashbangs - you can't acquire those items from any other source.

Soldiers

The last, and at the same time the most dangerous type of enemy. Soldiers are equipped with bulletproof vests, making them the most durable foe in the game (it requires about the twice amount of firepower to bring down a soldier than to kill a normal cop).

They are equipped with assault rifles, as well as grenades, making them dangerous from a medium range, and when the player decides to take cover from the chase inside a building. It's a really bad idea when you are chased by soldiers, as they tend to use their grenades a lot, tossing them everywhere, changing your safe house into a place filled with dozens of holes, through which they can shoot at you.

Another type of a soldiers is one equipped with a rocket launcher - those individuals are without a doubt the most dangerous foe in the entire game. A single rocket is almost always guaranteed to kill you - it's a reason you must always focus them in combat and try to kill them from the furthest range possible.

Soldiers are the main source of grenades, assault rifles, and rocket launchers - the last one especially, as this weapon is really hard to acquire by other means.
