Duke's got
to kick a lot of ass in Zero Hour, and here's the asses he'll
be kicking:
Alien
Beasts
Big, tough, dumb, and loyal to their alien masters. They move
fast, take a lot of damage, and rip you to shreds with their
claws. Not very nice.
Apocalypse
Cannibals
Appearing in the first episode of Zero Hour, these are kind
of like zombies - survivors of the Apocalypse, these guys
are crazy for human meat. Luckily, they're dumb and slow,
but don't let them gang up on Duke - they can turn him into
mush with nasty weapons like pipes, and even - gulp! - chainsaws.
Enforcers
Acid-spitting, machine-gun-toting, armoured freaks, and you
know what? They come in three flavours:
Enforcer
Captain
These suckers wear dark red uniforms and can teleport. They
have jetpacks too. Dang.
Battle
Enforcer
The fetching black uniforms really bring out their eyes,
but unfortunately they'll have SMGs akimbo or pistols to
dish out the hurt with.
Cyborg
Enforcers
Sticking robot arms and guns onto Battle Enforcer creates
these things - they're faster, smarter, and more accurate
than Battle Enforcers, plus they take a ton of pain before
throwing in the towel.
Octabrain
Big floating brains, which blast the enemy with mental energy.
If that fails, well, their teeth will probably do the
job. They hang out in dark areas or wet places, much like
most teenagers.
Pig Cops
Looks like the cops got mutated! They got shotguns, they got
armour, they go apeshit when they see Duke. So, kill 'em and
bag their shotguns!
Grunts
These Pig Cops wear grey, have shotguns and full body armour.
This means that they're pretty tough customers, so maybe an
SMG or two would come in useful for Duke.
Riot Pigs
Yet another variety of Pig Cop, these suckers have gas grenades
and are stocked up with armour. Duke better put on his gas
mask and use and SMG if he wants to wipe 'em out!
Plague
Zombies
The flesh-hungry undead patrol Victorian-era London looking
for blood and braaaaaaiiiiiinnnnnnnsssss . . . and perhaps
taking pictures of the landmarks, too. And, being dead, they're
not apt to feel much pain, making 'em tough to finish off.
Plus they might just come armed with clubs or even bones.
Recon
Patrol Vehicles (RPV)
Pig Cops sit in these hovering vehicles, which have laser
cannons mounted on 'em. Plus they can drop bombs, and strafe
many of Duke's weapons.
Scuttlers
Horrid little insect monsters, they can sting Duke or take
a bite out of him. Their momma is something called the Spawner,
which will need to be killed if Duke's to stop the little
ceiling-walking things from reappearring.
Sentry
Drone
They float, they're made of steel and they detonate in your
face. Some will patrol and shoot at you with plasma or rockets,
some will head straight for ya.
Sentry
Guns
Does exactly what it says on the tin - these are guns that
shoot you upon detection, either with plasma, grenades, or
lasers.
Sharks
Get rid of 'em quick before a feeding frenzy ensues! If Duke's
injured and he goes for a paddle, Jaws here will smell his
blood and rip him a new - well, everything. Nothing, of course,
a few bullets to the damn thing won't stop.
Snakes
You like poison? Rattlesnakes will give you a venomous bite
in the Wild West levels, or, if you're in the Victorian era,
these nasty slithering things hide underwater.
Spore
Eggs
When these go boom, Duke'll get a face-full of noxious gas.
They hang out in groups, being mostly social baddies, and
it's best to kill 'em from afar. Unless of course asphyxiation
IS your idea of fun, in which case - get away from me, you
freak!
Zombie
Knights
Zombies get medieval! Apart from being undead dudes, they
have armor. And swords and axes. Still, a well-placed rocket
should show 'em who's boss.
