1. Partner with a switchable behaviour

Passive mode

Active mode

• The partner himself looks at the points of potential threat, from where the suspects are expected to appear;
  
• When meeting a suspect, the partner now independently takes actions to neutralize them if the player is not nearby:
  
  
  
  1. Asks them to surrender;
     
  2. In case of disobedience, he uses physical force;
     
  3. In case of aggressive resistance, uses a weapon;
     
  4. If a suspect starts to run away, the partner will pursue them as long as he considers it safe;
     
  5. Picks up weapons dropped from suspects;
     
  
  
• If the suspect gives themselves away, the partner will be ready for their actions;

  1. R226. Police officers’ pistol. Low ammo, high accuracy. If you’re going to shoot, then don’t miss your chance.
     
  2. NP5. Golden classics. Automatic submachine gun. Mobility, ammo, damage — it has it all.
     
  3. Moss 500. Pump shotgun. Reliable and irreplaceable assistant. High firepower and low rate of fire.
     
  4. MA41. Automatic carbine for serious situations. It will ensure fast and powerful shooting.
     
  5. AAR 15. Semi-automatic rifle. Shoots rarely, but accurately. Will not let you down at any distance.
     
  6. Stelvio M4. Automatic shotgun. Totally indifferent to the number of enemies. Try not to hit your friends.
  
  
• Destructible walls
  
• Rebalance: the game starts with a R226 pistol, bikers are slower.
