I guess it would be wise to explain more how to deal with these problems.
I’ve decided to focus only on those creatures which appear more often.
Some of the monsters (invisible ones or with psi powers) will appear only a few times.
The most common encounters will include wild animals and other smaller creatures.
Early during the game you will be dealing mostly with wild dogs.
It’s very easy to get rid of these creatures.
You just have to aim at the head.
Even if you manage to wound them, they will probably still be coming after you.
You will encounter these creatures for the first time once you’ve entered the Bar sector.
Eventually the wolves will head back to their original locations.
You will also be dealing with mutated people.
It’s going to be much more difficult to kill them AND to stay alive.
Their main attack is a powerful jump to use the claws on your main character.
You will also encounter larger groups of these creatures, mostly in the Yantar area.
Try avoiding them or shooting from a very large distance.
You should also know that the mutants won’t quit and they will pursue you for quite some time.
Try aiming at their heads, however this is quite difficult, because they’re always on the move.
Nevertheless, if you’re lucky, a single shot could do the trick.
Remember to NOT attack more creatures at the same time.
You should also consider using shotguns against them, especially if this is an underground level of the game.
Last, but not least, we have the zombies.
:-) These creatures will appear later during the game.
You will come across some of your first zombies in The Wild Territory district.
There are more of them in Yantar, X16 and Red Forest.
Thankfully, there’s nothing you should be worried about, however you could’t underestimate their capabilities.
Nevertheless, you could move quite freely around them.
Zombie creatures are very similar to normal soldiers, however they’re much slower.
Nevertheless, zombies know how to use shotguns, rifles and other weapons.
Once again, you will have to aim at the head.
Don’t try aiming at other parts of the body, because it won’t do you much good.
You’d have to waste more bullets than on standard soldiers.
