Release day for Police Stories is getting closer and closer. To make the wait feel less daunting we will be sharing some info about the games core aspects. Today well be talking about types of suspects and their behaviour.

Behaviour

Each suspect in Police Stories has different behaviour and on top of that, it gets randomised each time you start a mission. As such, memorising their behaviour is crucial for a successful operation. If a suspect wasnt alerted to your presence he will either be on a lookout or patrolling surroundings. They react to loud noises like gunshots or explosions, so its always a good idea to act more discreetly in order to avoid taking unnecessary risks.

• Aggressive Some suspects are going to open fire as soon as they spot you. If a suspect raised his gun youre allowed to use lethal force.
• Fleeing Suspects can run away from you and try to find a better hiding spot. They may try to shoot you if theyre cornered but until they draw their gun, you should stick to non-lethal tools.
• Refusing to comply Some suspects wont immediately act hostile towards you, but are still going to ignore orders. Same as before, use of lethal force is only advised when a suspect is aiming at you.
• Holding a hostage In some cases, a suspect will hold a civilian at gunpoint ready to shoot as soon as he sees the police. Use non-lethal grenades or a breaching charge to ensure the hostages safety.
• Surrender Even if the suspect surrendered, the threat is still present. If you decide to turn your back on a surrendered suspect, he may get his gun and try to shoot you.

Suspect types

Our heroes will meet a lot of different perps in the city streets. Each type of suspects carries different guns, has varying shooting proficiency and reacts differently to orders.

• Thugs They are at the bottom of the criminal world. Like to act tough, but a lot of times they try to run away or simply surrender when ordered. They are armed with pistols and have poor marksmanship.
• Rednecks Not very different in their motives from the thugs, but have much more experience with firearms. They also use more serious guns like assault rifles or shotguns.
• Gangsters Members of street gangs and organized crime groups. They are seasoned criminals who dont think twice about breaking the law. Gangsters are less likely to surrender. Their weapon of choice is UZI.
• Terrorists Mercenaries and fanatics, who see their attacks as the only way to achieve their goals. The terrorists are highly trained and have both good marksmanship and combat tactics. Most of them would rather be shot than choose to surrender.
• Civilians Everyone you see on a crime scene is a suspect. Even if hes unarmed its best to put him in handcuffs until hes proven innocent. However, sometimes even civilians wont listen to your orders. They may stand in shock or try to run away in fear
• Fake civilians After a couple of missions you will start to encounter suspects disguised as civilians. They look exactly like hostages but will act like any other suspect refusing to comply or even trying to shoot you.
