Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus Guide The Enemy
Overall Tips and Tricks
Some enemies fall into groups where similar tactics are effective across the board. The following tips come straight from the experts; use them as general guidelines for dealing with certain enemy types, and build your strategies around them accordingly.
Robotic Enemies
Battery-Powered
- Drone
- ÜberSoldat
- Laserhund
Temporarily stun these foes with Handgranate plus the Electric Upgrade.
Laser Damage
All robotic enemies are sensitive to damage from laser weapons.
Diesel-Powered
- SuperSoldat
- Panzerhund
- Zitadelle
- Zerstörer
These foes have fuel lines that can be cut, which leaves a trail of fuel on the ground. Shoot the fuel trail, or hit it with a hatchet, to set it on fire. The fire follows the fuel trail to the enemy and causes an explosion, dealing a good chunk of damage.
Armor Plating
Some heavily armored enemies pose an extra challenge because of their high amounts of health. In these cases, try targeting the armor plates. Attack a plate until it falls off, then target the sensitive surface beneath to deal damage. Note that the Laserkraftwerk and Lasergewehr are capable of disintegrating armor plates.
Body Parts
Head: If an enemy has a head, the head is a weaker spot.
Arms: If an enemy has arms, shoot them off. Destroy both arms to destroy the enemy.
