Your arch enemy is the Alien.
On this difficulty level, the creature is significantly more aggressive than on low or even medium.
The Alien
What stirs the Alien up:
Noise- This is the biggest help for the Alien.
Every, even a slightest footstep causes the Alien to come running to investigate the source of the noise.
There are a couple of things that may save you when that happens.
When you play on “hard”, the Alien thoroughly searches the area where the noise came from.
If you are hidden in a locker, you oughta hold your breath and lean backward when it does.
Movement- The Alien also reacts to movement.
Moving, even in crouching position, will only provoke the creature to charge at you.
There are a couple of tips to beat the Alien when playing on “hard”:
1.
Crafting items- On the highest difficulty level, the quantity of ingredients found drastically narrows.
The Alien can be tricked- The Alien, as any other opponent, can be distracted.
If you see a danger ahead, use a flare or a noisemaker and throw it the other way.
Ammo- Save ammo, because it is much less frequent than on lower difficulty levels.
When fighting with androids or humans venture to aim at the head.
It will come in handy when facing the Alien.
The Alien hates fire- Molotov and the flamethrower are the only effective weapons against the Alien.
Throwing a Molotov at the Alien will force it flee, thus giving you time to move on.
If the Alien is close enough, it will hear the beeping and come running.
Playing on “hard” requires a lot of patience.
Save game at save stations as often as possible, so you did not have to replay difficult sequences.
Humans
While exploring Sevastopol, you will encounter some hostile humans.
Their senses are not as acute as the Alien’s, so it is easier to sneak past them.
They rely mainly on their sight.
If, however, you get to fight them, use weapons that are the most effective.
The above list misses out on such weapons as the bolt gun or Molotov.
Effective though they are, it would be an overkill to eliminate humans in such ways.
Androids
The third and last punch in of opponents in the game, are androids.
Androids are nothing else than robots created to work on the space station.
They can be killed, but are much tougher than humans.
On the highest difficulty level androids are even tougher and do not easily give up chasing you.
