Enemies

Below is a list of monsters you can fight in Sven Co-op. Information and Screenshots are provided for each.

Headcrab
Threat: Low Speed: Medium The Headcrab is one of the smallest monsters to come through the portal from Xen, its purpose is to attach itself to a host and to merge to form the Zombie. It launches itself at an enemy and delivers a somewhat weak attack. When in large groups, they are dangerous.

Zombie

Threat: Low
Speed: Slow

The Zombie is known to take on multiple forms. They can have Human Grunt, Scientist, or Security Guard host bodies. They feature two slash attacks but no long range attack. They are ideally attacked with a crowbar.

Barnacle

Threat: Low
Speed: N/A

These cave-dwelling creatures attach themselves to a ceiling and wait for food to run into its long tongue. Once its prey has been pulled up to its mouth, it chews and digests them quickly. Despite this slow but powerful attack, it has low health and drops any prey on death. If you are unfortunate to run into a tongue, kill the barnacle as soon as possible.

Houndeye

Threat: Moderate
Speed: Medium

These dog-like creatures have no melee or long-range attack, instead they charge up and use a sound-based attack that kills nearby enemies. This attack can hit multiple targets at once, but if the Houndeye is hurt while charging its attack, then it is interrupted. These creatures work as packs and their attacks do not affect each other.

Bullsquid

Threat: Moderate
Speed: Medium

A competitive creature found near the liquid pools of Xen, the Bullsquid�s natural prey is the headcrab. Highly territorial creatures, they attack any other bullsquid that they see on sight. The Bullsquid's acid attack, although long-ranged and inaccurate, can be extremely damaging close-up. In addition, the bullsquid has a powerful melee attack that can throw players long distances.

Alien Slave
Threat: Moderate Speed: Medium The Alien Slaves are the worker of Xen, however they are equipped with the ability to shoot a bolt of lightning. As they are not a proper military unit, they are un-armoured and have low health, making them an easy kill. Although their attack can be dangerous, the Alien Slaves have to be in line of sight to hit their target.

Alien Grunt
Threat: Moderate/High Speed: Medium/Slow Manufactured in alien factories, these creatures are the Warriors of Xen, sent to Earth to secure it for the Alien Forces. As well as being armoured, they have a Hornetgun that fires enemy seeking insects which do not give up until they hit flesh. It is because of this that the Alien Grunt is one of the most dangerous enemies encountered.

Alien Controller

Threat: Moderate/High
Speed: Medium

These flying monsters are responsible for controlling the Alien Slaves on Xen due to their high mental ability. With their flying ability, they have no need for melee attacks and instead use the power of their mind to launch balls of energy at and enemy. A variation of their primary attack is a slower, larger ball that follows its target.

Ichthyosaur

Threat: High
Speed: Fast

It is unknown where and why the ichthyosaur re-appeared in Black Mesa, but any body of water where these creatures dwelled instantly became a no-go zone. Ichthyosaurs, although unintelligent, make up for it with powerful jaws, fast reflexes and strong bodies which makes it extremely hazardous to attack just one in the water. If you are going to attack an Ichthyosaur, make sure that it�s from dry land!

Big Momma/Gonarch

Threat: V. High
Speed: Fast

Although officially known as Gonarch, this creature has been dubbed �Big Momma� by the special forces that have encountered it, due to its rapid creation and birthing of the Baby Headcrabs. As well as this unusual attack, it can spit large balls of acid at enemies for high amounts of splash damage as well as using its front legs in a powerful melee attack. These creatures are rare, but extremely dangerous.

Baby Gargantua
Threat: High Speed: Fast Although not anywhere near as dangerous as the Garg, these monsters still present a threat to a unaware player. The Baby Garg has yet to finish developing a hardened exoskeleton, which makes it vulnerable to projectiles. Explosives however, are the best bet for taking the Baby Garg down quick!

Gargantua

Threat: Extremely High
Speed: Fast

The tank of the Xen forces, these creatures operate alone but to a devastating effect. Armoured against standard projectile weapons, this creature suffers no damage from them; therefore experimental weapons or explosives are a must before engaging in combat with a Garg. This creature has a powerful short-range flame attack that will quickly overwhelm any kind of armour and a melee attack that kills almost instantly.

Scientists
Threat: N/A Speed: Medium The brains of Black Mesa, the scientists are useful in some situations. They can open doors and even heal you if your health is below 50%. They will follow you in most situations. However, if an enemy is near or you run too fast, they will either run away or stop following you immediately.

Security Guards

Threat: Medium
Speed: Fast

Black Mesa's security force before the incident, these effective guards carry a 9mm handgun and a weak form of body armor. They can also escort players and provide cover when necessary. They are generally friendly, but hostile versions may be encountered in some area's of Black Mesa.

Female Assassin

Threat: Medium
Speed: Fast

Brought in to assist in missions too classified for the standard grunts, these Assassins are both fast and deadly. The silenced 9mm pistol they carry has a fast rate of fire and is highly accurate which makes these among the most dangerous enemies you can encounter.

Human Grunt - MP5
Threat: Medium Speed: Fast This Grunt carries the standard MP5, a submachine gun and a competent long-range weapon, as well as a number of Hand Grenades.

Human Grunt - Shotgun

Threat: Medium
Speed: Fast

This Grunt carries a shotgun, dangerous at close range, as well as a number of Hand Grenades.

Human Grunt - MP5 GL

Threat: Medium
Speed: Fast

This Grunt carries the standard MP5, a submachine gun but also has the added danger of a mounted Grenade launcher which fires powerful contact grenades.

Human Grunt - Leader
Threat: Medium Speed: Fast The Leader may be armed with any Human Grunt weapon. He is very valuable because he relays information to his squad on an enemy location. If one spots you, you will find a whole squad closing in on you and your teammates location.

Heavy Weapons Grunt
Threat: High Speed: Very Slow The Heavy Weapons Grunt is armed with a chain gun. It takes a short amount of time for their chain gun to spin up. They are very slow, but their chain gun will kill an enemy such as a security guard or player in a few seconds.

Sentry Turret
Threat: Medium Speed: Fast Deploy Sentry Turrets are usually found near Human Grunt emplacements. They are built by Human Grunts. If they hear a sound or if they are damaged, they will activate immediately. If one becomes active, many nearby sentry turrets will also become active.

Mini Turret
Threat: Medium Speed: Fast Deploy The Mini Turret detects, deploys, and attacks a target at a fast rate. Originally built for Black Mesa's security, these machines have been tampered with and are now under military control. They will not attack Human Grunts.

Turret

Threat: Medium-High
Speed: Slow Deploy

The larger version of the Mini Turret, these machines are armed with a massive chain gun. Originally built for Black Mesa's security, these machines have been tampered with and are now under military control. They will not attack Human Grunts. When an enemy is detected, it will take about 3 seconds for them to deploy and start up their chain gun. When they are active, they will eat up almost any enemy in a matter of seconds.

Apache Helicopter
Threat: High Speed: Fast The Apache Helicopter is a dangerous enemy to deal with. Packed with rockets and a 12mm machine gun, they will chew up or blow up anything that gets in their way. Their weak spot is near the engine, rotor, and pilot cockpit. Some areas on the helicopter's body are invulnerable to projectile based weaponry.

Osprey Helicopter

Threat: Medium
Speed: Medium

The Osprey Helicopter is one of the transport vehicles for Human Grunts. They will re-supply a certain location when Human Grunts on the ground die. They have no offensive capabilities other than the grunts that repel down from them. To destroy them, aim for the rotors or pilot cockpit. Some areas on the helicopter are invulnerable to projectile based weaponry.
