•Husk Pitcher (or Mist Propagator) - Throws projectiles that can damage both structures and players.
•Husk Bomber - Throws explosive bombs that deal significant damage to structures.
•Husk Charger - Similar to Husks but with the ability to leap towards players or structures, dealing more damage.
•Husk Blaster - Fires a beam that can damage from a distance; they can shoot through your structures.
•Smasher - Large, armored enemies that can charge through multiple structures, dealing massive damage. They have a weak spot on their back.
•Flinger - Unique to missions, they throw players or other Husks, disrupting your defense.
•Mini-Bosses - Sometimes, missions will feature mini-boss Husks which are tougher versions of the standard enemies with more health and power.

NPCs like guards at IO bases or henchmen during certain seasons. They can be equipped with various weapons and provide a good challenge or loot when defeated.
Wildlife:
Boars, Wolves, Raptors, etc. - While not 'enemies' in the traditional sense, they can attack players if provoked or if players get too close.
Tips for Dealing with Enemies 
•Building: Use walls and stairs to block or gain height advantage. Smashers can break through, so use metal for them.
•Traps: Set up traps smartly; floor launchers can push back chargers and smashers, while wall dynamos can damage them as they break through.
•Weapon Choice: Shotguns are great for close encounters, whereas rifles are better against ranged threats like Blasters or Takers.
•Focus Fire: Concentrate on single targets, especially Smashers, by hitting their weak spots or using high-damage weapons.
•Crowd Control: Use abilities like the Outlander's Shock Tower or the Constructor's Bull Rush to manage groups of Husks.
•Teamwork: Assign roles; some players can focus on building, others on combat or resource gathering.
•Perks: Choose heroes and weapons with perks that benefit your playstyle or the current mission's needs.
•Upgrades: Upgrade your F.O.R.T. stats, weapons, and traps to handle higher difficulty enemies.
General Strategy 
Don't linger too long in one place unless you are protecting an objective. Resource Management: Always keep an eye on your ammunition and materials. Know when to fight and when to conserve. Adaptability: You need to be able to adapt your strategy to the challenges that each mission throws at you.
Note: Remember, enemy behavior can be affected by mission modifiers or special events, making them faster, stronger, or even invisible in some cases. Always check mission details before starting. |
