double-check to perform dodge maneuvers to avoid their primary attacks.
To be honest, the only enemies you don’t have to be afraid of are the zombies.
They’re very slow and they won’t attack you unless you provoke them in some way.
Human enemies in “Clear Sky” are much smarter than they were in “Shadow of Chernobyl”.
The main reason for that is that they’re capable of using grenades against you.
Watch out for invisible creatures, especially when you’re travelling by night.
