Mastering the Flow of Combat
- Door Kills/Stuns: Always use doors to your advantage. Opening a door into an enemy will stun them, allowing for an easy melee kill or execution. This is crucial for silent takedowns and managing groups.
- Weapon Throws: Throwing any weapon (melee or empty firearm) at an enemy will stun them, or even kill weaker foes. This is an excellent way to close distances safely or create openings.
- Corner Peeking ('Q' Key): The 'Q' key is your best friend. Use it constantly to peek around corners and plan your next move without exposing yourself. This is vital for anticipating enemy positions and patrol routes.
- Luring Enemies: Fire a single gunshot to attract enemies to your position, then ambush them as they come around a corner. This is effective for isolating targets.
- Execution Management: Always execute downed enemies for extra points and to ensure they don't get back up. Be mindful of the execution animation time, as you're vulnerable during it.
- Environmental Awareness: Look for throwable objects (bricks, bottles) or environmental hazards (explosive barrels) that can be used to your advantage.
Practicing these techniques will significantly improve your efficiency and survival rate in the game's most challenging levels.
