Facts

Guards (General)

  • General guards have an 11 / 256 (~4.3%) chance to perform a grenade pulling animation, but if the guard is unable to pull grenades, or their individual grenade RNG check fails (different chance for different guards), they will do something else (I think). [1]
  • Guards who dual-wield any weapon can never pull grenades. [1]
  • Guards have a 1 in 256 chance to do an idle animation per frame. [1]
  • For idle animations, guards have a 5 / 256 chance (~1.95%) to sneeze. The other 5 idle animations have a 50 in 256 chance (one with a 51 in 256 chance). [1]
  • When a guard hears a shot (and is loaded?) they have a 50% chance of firing back (or at least performing a firing animation), and a 50% chance of looking around first. [1]
  • Alarm guards must be within 10 units of the alarm to activate them. [1]
  • Guards who are able to clone will always do so if they can. [1]
  • Most guards in the game have 40 health. [1]
  • Targeting guards that do a sharp angle change can become frozen, but it is unclear why. This only occurs on NTSC-U, and not PAL or NTSC-J. They must lose health to become unfrozen, but can later become re-frozen. All dual-wielding Moonraker guards and third Baron can also become similarly frozen with a rolling animation under more unknown specifics, but this can occur on all versions. [1]

Scientists

  • Scientists have 4 "hacking animations". 3 of them have a 60 in 256 chance to occur, while the 4th has a 76 in 256 chance to occur. [1]
  • Scientists become angry after getting shot twice, regardless of their health. Because of this, the only way to get angry scientists on Agent is by 2x limb shots with Klobb [1]
  • Angry scientists' AI are exactly like normal guards. Auto-aim works on them. [1]

Types of Guards

0002 Guard

0002 type.

Normal Guard

Stays idle, runs to you/fires at you when he sees/hears you. Afterwards continues chasing your former positions until seeing you again or 10s passes, if the latter, becomes idle again. [2]

Patrolling Guard

Normal guard but will initially be moving along a path. [2]

Targeting Guard

Aims at you and updates their angle continuously. Most are not loose and can't run around. [2]

Cloner Guard

Normal guard, but capable of cloning if you haven't looked at him yet. They clone themselves and send off the clone instead, while staying in place and being otherwise idle. [2]

Spawn Guard

Guards who spawn after an event. [2]

Chaser Guard

Normal guard who does not have the 10s chasing time limit, and will chase you infinitely. Some of these guards initially begin chasing, while others are initially idle. [2]

Semi-Chaser Guard

Chaser guards who will seemingly get lost after they reach the previous position before chasing again. [2] They still chase infinitely, but are often checking your distance relative to them, performing RNG checks, jogging to your previous locations, and have very complicated, messy AI.
