Information
Well, if your new to this game, welcome. If you have any experiences with the enemies, then you don't really need to read this. If you want to reach the boss, you have to go through alot of enemies to level up. There are seven enemies in the game (More or Less in future updates). I will tell you how to deal with them all.
Webcrawler
This, is a spider. More likely a crawler.

Weakpoint: Face
Cybernetic Crawlers likes to bite it's enemies. Most of them act like defenders of their area or server. They even sometimes guard a server before you hack them. But their down side is their speed and defense, but during a SWARM hack they can be powerful in their numbers. All you have to do to not get attacked by them is to not get near them.
Popups
I hate getting these when I go on the internet. I'm finally happy with blowing these up.

Weakpoint: Face
The Popup has a similar look like the Cybernetic Crawler. But it comes with a twist, It jumps. These enemies can only jump compared to the rest. This makes it harder for the player to kill. How to counter it? Slow it down. If you use freeze or stun, it will be easier to hit them.
Scorporation
I live in a desert, we have plenty of these. WE DON'T NEED MORE!
Weakpoint: Face, Stinger
This enemy attacks in long ranges, like the Aimbot. This enemy has two things. The first thing is the shield. The shield has more health than Scorporation itself. the only bad thing is it only covers the front. Either destroy the shield with a powerful weapon, or attack him from any other direction. The other thing is its laser. The Scorporation has a laser gun attached to it (where the stinger would be with real scorpions). The laser deals massive damage if you stay in it for too long. You can avoid these lasers by using cover from a server or the grid. The true weakness they have is rail weapons. A railgun can pierce through the shield and hit the Scorporation. Like i said before, WE DON'T NEED MORE!
Ghost In a ShellFish (GISTfish)
Not a ghost, Not a shellfish, then what is it?

Weakpoint: Face
This enemy has a similar attack with Popup and Crawler. This one charges at the player. It's easy to avoid it's charge, MOVE! I'm still surprised that some people dont move and die quickly. This enemy also has more health than others. I don't see a counter with it, but to MOVE! And again for all of you guys who died by them, MOVE!
Aimbot
If they are called aimbots, then how come they are in this game... wouldn't they be banned from the grid? WHY ISN'T THIS GRID VAC SECURED?

Weakpoint: Face
The aimbot has a similar relative, called the S.H.A.R.K? If you play this original game before the many updates, then you know what it is. Aimbot isn't really an aimbot, but they do shoot at you. They shoot 6 energy balls at you as their attack. They're design to hit if you move in a certain direction. For example, if you keep moving left without stopping, the energy ball will be focused to hit you when you move into that trajectory. If you freeze them, then it does absolutely nothing. The only thing that can stop preparing their attack is stunning them. But to make it all up, they have low health. so stop using hacks, and PLAY THE GAME PROPERLY!
Super Duper GISTfish
Try saying that three times fast. Bet you can't :)

Weakpoint: Face
This unit has the looks of a Ghost in the ShellFish. It's shield comes from the mommy Scorportation , and the attacks of the daddy Ghost in the ShellFish. Worst thing is their EXTREME health and EXTREME damage, the one I took a screen shot with can kill me in two attacks, I recommend having either your own ally bots or have other players help you defeat it. I also recommend heavy rail weapons to pierce through the shield and hit the Super Duper GISTfish.
Mor.tar.gz
Part Bug, Part Mortar, it's that simple.


Weakpoint: Face
This enemy has high health, damage, and shoots about 5 rockets in that area. On the plus side, this enemy can't melee so getting close is no problem, and due to new technology you can see where the rockets will strike. To see where they'll strike, there is a red circle or a "kill zone" where the rockets will strike. If your in the area, the best idea is to move away (I don't want to pick up any corpses today.)
Mother of Spiders
The giant enemy spider. (Insert Jerma's beatbox noises here)


Weakpoint: Face
The Mother of Spider is what it is called. The enemy will spawn in webcrawlers periodically. Destroy the mother, at least stops spawning the babies. Not only they have high health, they also shoot executionables (unique projectiles) at you. The picture below shows a webcrawler in a cocoon stage. The mother will keep spawning in webcrawlers until she is defeated, or your defeated.

Snail
Snails are like my lag, SLOW!!!

Weakpoints: Barrel

Snails are like suiciders, they will charge at you at explode, leaving the barrel's lingering effect and spawns in plenty. Keep moving around or shoot the barrels for a premature explosion.
Turret
Heh heh, Turret go BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR-

Weakpoint: Barrel

The turrets are strong enemies and can be tough to take down. On the plus side, the barrel is their weakpoint and they are always stationary. There are different types of turrets, ranging from laser beams to grenade launchers.
Bats
Did you know the collective noun for Bats is either cloud, colony, or flock? I thought it was interesting.

Weakpoints: Head

Bats are the only aerial enemy you will encounter. They are also small and move around constantly, so they are a harder target to hit. However, they are low in health, so it won't be much of a struggle to deal with as long as you or others hit them. There are two types of bats, charge, and heal.

Charge bats: These types of bats charge and hit you, before going back to their positions in the air, It's better if you have a grenade, an executionable, or a shotgun to help take down these bats

Heal bats: These types bats never attack, they only heal their allies, you can tell the difference by their green effects when they fly around.
Enemy Specials
You might come across some enemies that displays what they have. These enemy are upgraded to have special perks when attacking you. To tell if any of them has a special perk, it would say when your crosshair is looking at them. Here is some perks that tells which perk the enemy has.

  • Fire/Fireball: If the enemy attacks you with that perk, you take damage over time as a burn effect.
  • Ice/Iceball: If the enemy attacks you with that perk, you will slow down on your movement. Making it easier for enemies to attack you.
  • Mines: The enemy places mines randomly, avoid them or shoot them from a far distance to not get caught in them. If you want to be clever, the mines have a few seconds delay. If you being chased, go over one of them and the enemies who are caught with the mine will take the damage.
  • Cloaked: These enemies are considered invisible, and can barley be seen. If you look for a distortion, or a dark figure that's where an enemy is. It will reveal itself when attacking the player. These enemies can occur anytime, but always in the unknown servers and in the fog.
  • Explosive: When the enemy is killed, they explode, doing damage to the player and others enemies.
  • Regeneration: It does what you think it does, heals overtime when injured. Good suggestion is to go after them first
Other Information
If you think they have this much health/shield, your wrong. I was playing on a +25 server. They're health and damage are on the difficulty. More difficulty, more time killing enemies that can kill you easier.

That is it for all. Thank you for reading my guide, and good luck! May the hacks be with you.
