Assassins pose a significant threat alone, and with two or more to manage you'll be spending as much time dodging and chasing them as shooting at them. Their single stars aren't the deadliest, but when combined with quick attack speed, it is easy to be overwhelmed. Their biggest advantage is overall speed and reaction times, they are hard to hit and tend to employ hit-and-run tactics.

Their special versions appear in the final stage of the game.ĭealing with Cyborg Assassins can be difficult. There are a few of them on the UNN Rickenbacker, but they don't appear in the Body of the Many at all. On the other hand, these Cyborgs are met way more often on the Command Deck. There are a couple of Assassins on Recreation Deck, but they rarely respawn on Rec. The player will also need to fight three special Red versions of these to reprogramm the Ops' Simulation Units.

While Assassins are technically encountered first on Recreation Deck, they are also very common at Operations, frequently respawning there. As a mix of man and machine, some part of them will be affected by almost any kind of weaponry. A fast-moving, stealthy human/robot construct, these Cyborgs toss deadly stars at their prey. While Cyborg Assassins aren't as deadly as their name suggests, they are harder than their System Shock counterparts and one of the most dangerous enemies you'll fight. Secretly brought onto Von Braun by TriOptimum, they were treated as an 'insurance' against the UNN forces on the Rickenbacker, should any conflict develop. They are a modified version of Assassins found aboard Citadel Station. The UM/433p Cyborg Assassins are Cyborg enemies encountered in System Shock 2.
