SUPPLIES

When enemy soldiers are defeated, they may drop ammunition cartridges with a certain probability. Additionally, every so often, the supply aircraft will drop a supply box. The crate must be broken open with a shot or a knife to collect its contents.

Supplies Box

POWER UP - Damage

Ammo Cartridge

Grenade

Armor

FirstAid Kit

POWER UP - Burst

Breakable Objects

Throughout the levels, the player will encounter destructible objects that can be opened to clear the path. There are two main types:

Barrels — Cylindrical containers used as improvised storage in combat zones.
Crates — Reinforced wooden boxes placed across different areas of the terrain.

Both types can be destroyed with a single shot or with a knife strike.

enemies

There are three types of enemies in the game, each with its own specialty. Below we present each one.

commando

Stealthy soldier and sabotage expert who moves cautiously and prepares the ground before attacking. He favors camouflage and the use of explosives to control areas and force the player to change course.

Special Ability

Anti-personnel mines: The Commando can plant an anti-personnel mine anywhere on the terrain; it remains hidden and is triggered when the player steps on it. It has a delay before exploding and rises into the air before detonation.

radio operator

Veteran Radio Operator responsible for maintaining communications and coordinating support in the field. He moves cautiously, prioritizes coverage and team safety, and acts as a liaison between units to call for reinforcements or request artillery.

Special Ability

Airstrike: The Radio Operator can request a sweeping bombardment over the terrain. You must survive 10 bombs that fall randomly. The bombs do not distinguish between friend and foe, so you can take advantage of this.

Cooldown: 10 seconds.

RIFLEMAN

Line infantryman trained for frontline combat, versatile and reliable in direct engagements. He moves at a steady pace, holds position, and provides sustained fire to contain enemy advances.

Special Ability

Summons a trained attack hound that tracks the nearest target and forces it out of camouflage or cover. The dog pursues the enemy, marks them, and deals bite damage while the chase lasts; it is unaffected by stealth abilities and reveals the target’s position to the entire team.

Cooldown: 10 seconds.

Important: The attack hound only bites you when you're ducked, to get free of its bite you've to repeateadly press left and right.
