Factions & Organizations

Understanding the key players in Wolfenstein: The New Order is crucial for navigating its brutal world. This section details the major factions and organizations you'll encounter, offering strategies for dealing with them and highlighting important interactions.

The Kreisau Circle

The primary resistance movement against the Nazi regime, led by Caroline Becker. Joining forces with the Kreisau Circle is central to B.J. Blazkowicz's mission. Your interactions with this group will shape your available resources and mission objectives.

  • Joining the Resistance: After escaping the asylum in Chapter 2: Asylum, you'll eventually make your way to the Kreisau Circle's headquarters. The choice you make early in the game (saving Fergus or Wyatt) will influence which members of the Circle are present and some minor dialogue, but the core objective of joining remains the same.
  • Headquarters Exploration (Chapter 3: A New Home):
    • Medical Bay: Speak with Anya Oliwa to initiate conversations and progress the story. You can also find Health Packs and Armor Shards scattered around the medical area.
    • Workshop: Access the Weapon Upgrade Station here to customize your arsenal. Look for the LaserKraftwerk schematics on a table near the workbench to unlock its full potential later.
    • Command Center: Interact with Caroline Becker to receive mission briefings and advance the main storyline. Keep an eye out for Enigma Codes on the central table.
    • Sleeping Quarters: Your personal bunk is here. You can rest to trigger dream sequences or simply to pass time. Check the lockers for occasional Ammunition or Armor.
  • Resource Management: The Kreisau Circle's base acts as a hub. Regularly scavenge for supplies like Armor Shards, Health Packs, and Ammunition that respawn between missions. These are vital for replenishing your inventory before heading out.

The Nazi Regime (General Deathshead's Forces)

The overarching antagonist, controlling the world with an iron fist. Their forces are diverse, ranging from standard infantry to advanced robotic units. Understanding their hierarchy and unit types is key to survival.

  • Standard Infantry:
    • Soldaten: Basic foot soldiers. Easily dispatched with headshots. Prioritize stealth takedowns when possible to conserve ammo.
    • Super Soldaten: Heavily armored, often wielding powerful weapons like the Automatic Shotgun. Aim for their heads or exposed power cores on their backs when they turn. Use cover effectively.
  • Commanders:
    • Tactical Importance: Commanders are crucial targets. Eliminating them silently prevents them from calling for reinforcements, making stealth approaches significantly easier. Their presence is indicated by a small speaker icon on your HUD.
    • Location: Commanders are often found in elevated positions, control rooms, or patrolling key areas. Use your map to identify their patrol routes.
    • Loot: Commanders often drop Enigma Codes upon death, which are essential for unlocking game modes and perks.
  • Robotic Units:
    • Kampfhund: Robotic dogs. Fast and agile, but vulnerable to concentrated fire. A well-placed shotgun blast or a few assault rifle rounds will take them down.
    • Roboter: Large, bipedal robots. Their weak points are often glowing red power cells or their heads. Use the LaserKraftwerk or heavy weapons for maximum effect.
    • Heavy Robots/Guard Robots: Even larger, more heavily armored versions. These often require sustained fire from your most powerful weapons, like the Rocket Launcher or LaserKraftwerk charged shots. Aim for their joints or exposed wiring.
  • Advanced Weaponry: Expect to encounter enemies wielding the LaserKraftwerk, Automatic Shotgun, and Assault Rifle. Adapt your tactics to counter their firepower, using cover and flanking maneuvers.

The London Monitor

A colossal, heavily armed Nazi war machine encountered during Chapter 10: London Nautica. This is a boss fight that requires specific tactics.

  • Phase 1: Ground Assault:
    • Targeting: Focus fire on the Monitor's leg joints and the glowing red weak points on its underside. The LaserKraftwerk is highly effective here.
    • Cover: Utilize the destroyed buildings and rubble for cover to avoid its heavy machine gun fire and rocket barrages.
    • Supply Drops: Keep an eye out for crates containing Ammunition and Health Packs that drop periodically around the arena.
  • Phase 2: Aerial Engagement:
    • Ascension: Once enough damage is dealt, the Monitor will take to the air. You'll need to reach higher ground to continue the fight. Look for accessible ledges or destroyed structures to climb.
    • Weak Points: Its new weak points will be exposed on its underside and possibly on its 'head' or cockpit area. Continue to use heavy weapons.
    • Environmental Hazards: Be mindful of falling debris and additional enemy soldiers that may be deployed to distract you.
