Technical Director Striking Distance Mark James told the portal VG247 about the artificial intelligence of Biophages in The Callisto Protocolnoting that sometimes the enemies will scare the protagonist instead of attacking him right away.

“We have amazing AI. Our AI sometimes decides not to attack you. Instead, for example, he will jump into the vent in front of you, making sure you see it – now you know that the enemy is there, and he is just waiting for the right moment to jump out of another vent and attack you.

There will be moments in the game that leave unsettling sensations and flirt with paranoia. According to James, gamers usually assume that the enemies that appear on the screen will attack them. But in The Callisto Protocol, the monster can first appear and then run away, leaving the player to listen for various noises and other audio cues.

“The AI ​​always finds the best way to attack. Sometimes enemies try to get closer to you. Sometimes they adjust to your play style in order to gain a certain advantage.

Let’s say you keep using a ranged weapon – the enemy will move out of your line of sight, perhaps into an air vent, and find another way to attack.

James noted that changes in the behavior of opponents are associated with virus and subsequent Mutations. As a reminder, players can try to destroy the virus in Biophages by shooting at the tentacles that emerge from their bodies. But if the player does not cope with this task in time, then the enemy will become more deadly and tenacious.

“If you shoot at opponents and don’t hit the area you need to hit… you’ll shorten that timer even further and make them more aggressive. So better make sure that one shot is good. Otherwise, they will mutate faster – and this makes them stronger, faster and more resilient. And now, instead of one shot, you will have to shoot four times.

In addition, mutated Biophages will be able to regrow previously severed limbs, so dismemberment in this case will lead to an empty ammo loss.
