Expendable. Endless. Sent first because they're cheap. They don't need tactics — just numbers. They will close the distance and they will not stop.
Disciplined ranged fire from 190px out. Not individually dangerous — in a pack with other threats, they're the reason you can't stop moving.
Not fast — reckless. Suicidal sprint straight at you. Low health, but 190 movement speed means hesitation is lethal.
Slow-moving, heavily armored. Lobs grenades at range (360px splash, 320 damage). He doesn't need to reach you to hurt you.
Sprints toward you and detonates on contact. 0.9 second fuse after entering trigger range. That's all the time you have. They come in groups.
Individually trivial (12 HP). Collectively terrifying. They arrive in dozens — fast, small, designed to surround you before you realize it.
Stays at max range (340px). 0.9s laser charge warning, then 45 damage at 900 projectile speed. Will retreat if you close in. Kill it first.
200 HP, riot shield that blocks frontal damage. Hit it from the side or behind — penetrating rounds and explosives ignore the shield.
Heals nearby enemies at 10 HP/s in a 130px aura. Priority kill — every second it lives undoes your progress. It stays behind the front line.
Below 50% HP: speed ×2.5, damage ×1.8. Also breathes fire at close range. The closer to death — the more dangerous. Do not let it reach half health without finishing it.
Phases through walls. Periodically immune for 1.5 seconds. Clones itself every 8 seconds. You can't corner it. You can't predict it. Keep firing.
380 HP. Frontal 60° armor arc absorbs 65% of incoming damage. Only the flanks and rear are soft targets. Designed to walk through fire.
Drops burning ground as it moves, attacks with a flamethrower at close range. Turns the map into a fire trap over time. Area denial that stacks.
Hangs back at 300px and calls 2 Grunts every 4.5 seconds while it lives. Doesn't attack directly. Just keeps refilling the horde. Kill it.
Fires an EMP burst that disables your weapon for 2.5 seconds. At 300px range. In a crowded wave, 2.5 seconds is an eternity. It prioritizes safety.
20 HP, 210 speed, 0.12 second fuse. Blink and it's at your feet. Bigger blast than the Bomber, faster than a Runner. Small, red, fully committed.
800 HP. Melee and ranged simultaneously. Shockwaves (28 DMG, 500px radius) every 5.5 seconds. Fast enough to chase, durable enough to survive a full magazine. The first elite-tier threat.
420 HP. Rapid burst fire. Heals nearby allies. Amplifies nearby enemy speed and damage by 45% each. Calls helicopter airstrikes every 6 seconds (75 DMG, 130px radius). The battlefield changes the moment one arrives — kill it first.
EMP shock-trooper in a prototype discharge harness. Six high-voltage capacitor canisters on his back feed a constant charge through his gauntlets — enough to arc through body armour. Hit him once and he's gone: the suit's proximity sensors trigger an instant displacement burst, scattering blue shock-particles across the grid. You have three seconds to put him down before he can do it again. Miss that window and he resets. 20% damage resistance. Every shot has to count.
Dark hazmat medic carrying defibrillator paddles and a bio-stim rig. Deploys 2 HUSK shock-troopers every 8 seconds. Hangs back — your first job is finding it in the crowd.
Corrupted infantry in cracked dark armor — wiring exposed, crude mechanical control units bolted to the torso. Low HP, relentless aggression. Spawned by the HARVESTER in pairs. The damage adds up fast.
Heavy black armor with blue-yellow arc-discharge capacitors. Fires an electric tether that locks you in place — 14 DPS for 3 seconds, no escape. If you see the charge animation, move. Now.
Black assassin in active-camouflage. Invisible until within 120px. Reveals only to deliver a 3-hit combo (15/15/35 dmg) then recloaks instantly. If you can see it, it's already too late.
Signal-jammer with 4 tethered signal drones orbiting its frame. Every 10 seconds: broadcasts a 400px buff field — all nearby enemies get enhanced speed and damage for 8 seconds. Kill it before the broadcast fires.
Designation: DECIMATOR. Tier IV-X assault spearhead. Where Commanders strategize, the Decimator executes. Its rotating salvo system fires a simultaneous 360° ring of 16 red and black projectiles — no safe angle, no cover. Deployed at the flanks of Archon and Overlord operations. Contact means suppression.
Designation: PLAGUEWRIGHT. Tier IV-X area denial specialist. The Plaguewright doesn't fight — it poisons the battlefield. Every 4 seconds it lobs a cluster bomb that detonates 1.3 seconds later, splitting into 5 toxic sub-munitions on impact. Operators who delay die on the ground they were standing on. It never closes in. It just waits.
Every weapon in your arsenal serves a purpose. Against standard enemies, any weapon works — but on boss encounters, your loadout is the difference between a fast kill and dying on ammo reserve. Each boss (except Overlord) has a specific weapon weakness that deals significantly increased damage. The game also rewards using the right class of weapon: high-output weapons like the machine gun, minigun, flamethrower, and shotgun receive a general bonus against all bosses. When a boss weakness weapon hits, a colored flash appears on the HP bar indicator — that's confirmation you're in the right loadout.
Every boss wave guarantees the weakness weapon as a pickup near the center of the arena. Pick it up. Enemies also drop ammo — cycle weapons when one runs dry, not after. Operators who reach wave 80+ don't favor one weapon. They use all of them.
1800 HP across 3 phases. Melee, ranged, and constant grunt reinforcements. Heals on phase transition — 35% HP restored at 66%, 20% at 33%. The math works against hesitation. Titan can out-sustain operators who slow down.
2200 HP, 100 speed — fastest boss. Generates an invulnerability shield on a cycle. Three phases. Summons grunts while retreating. A war machine with the reflexes of a Runner. You cannot corner him.
2700 HP. Drops burning ground constantly (16 DMG/s, 8s duration), fires ranged attacks, summons Pyros every 7 seconds, triggers ground-blast shockwaves on a timer. Phase 2 at 66%, Phase 3 at 33%. The terrain itself becomes the weapon.
2800 HP. Scorched wall obstacles erupt from the floor at fight start — it moves freely through its own fire. The right arm carries a minigun that unloads rapid burst salvos (20–35 rounds per phase at full rate), while the left arm drives wide fan spreads you have to dash through before they close. At 0 HP the revival core triggers: 3 seconds later it returns in RAGE MODE — revived at full HP, double speed, random laser barrages across the full arena. There is no margin.
3200 HP siege rig. Hardened exo-armor blocks all damage while active. Each arm carries a heavy cannon that fires large, slow-moving, high-damage rounds — wait for the armor to open, then move between them. Fires to expose a 1.5-second vulnerability window, then slams shut again. Deploys up to 8 remote siege turrets across the arena. You must wait for the shot — and survive what fills the space between shots.
3800 HP signal unit. The dual-arm spiral cannon sweeps clockwise at 300–380px/s, a constant wall you have to read and move around. Between rotations: a directed triple burst aimed straight at your position. A rear-mounted back cannon fires grenades that arc in and detonate — orange warning circles mark the impact zones before they blow. Buffs all nearby enemies (70% speed, 60% damage) and calls precision airstrikes. Learn the spiral. Watch the ground. Find the gap.
5000 HP adaptive-camo exosuit with hexagonal panels that fracture and shimmer as it phases. Cloaks every 7 seconds — invisible, teleporting, leaving ice spike clusters that freeze on contact. Arctic crates spawn for cover. When visible, its main attack fires a wall of 20 projectiles with a 2-shot gap. Find the gap. Dash through it. Miss it and the next cloak is already loading.
6500 HP siege unit carrying a breach-shield and a flamethrower with external fuel tanks. Drops fire constantly, charges through the arena with a 620px/s slam that detonates on landing, launches mortar barrages (7 shells, 140px radius, 100 DMG each), and seals off arena zones with collapse fields. It doesn't chase you. It eliminates your space.
7800 HP assembled war machine — every system from every prior boss compressed into one frame. Aura (65% SPD/DMG buff to all nearby), cycling invulnerability shield, shockwaves, orbital fire blasts, high-speed pursuit, turret deployment. 5-phase escalation. At Phase 5 it enters FINAL PROTOCOL. Nothing prepares you for the penultimate encounter. Wave 100 is next.
8000 HP. Five phases (80% / 60% / 40% / 20%). Shockwaves (45 DMG, 550px) every 6 seconds. Full-ring bullet spreads. Armor-piercing bouncing rounds. Speed and damage aura for the entire horde. Regenerating shields. Summons Dark Commanders, Berserkers, Juggernauts. A wasteland cover wall spawns at the bottom of the arena — the only hard cover in the fight. Use it or ignore it; it won't save you from everything. At Phase 5 — APOCALYPSE: fire rains from everywhere, 32-bullet rings every 0.18 seconds at 500 speed, turrets deploy every 5 seconds. The embodiment of everything you've faced, at full intensity, simultaneously.
