What are these enemies?

[Caz1402]

The enemies that arnt real? Like the little mutants that have a shimmer and vanish after shooting them, or the humans that vanish when you try to loot. Are they just the zone getting in your head?

There's an enemy called a Controller that creates those psychic manifestations.

These are phantoms induced by PSI attacks. The orange glowing are from controller or heavy PSI influence. The vanishing enemies also are part of it. You usually encounter them somewhere where controller or Monolith Psi beacons/influence is present. Can be distinguished from zombies because they talk normally

Ah yes, he was a long way away at a different object point. Do they work at a large range? I just killed him.

Sometimes PSI influence of controller lingers. You need to take psi blockers if you have them. If it persist for long then it's one of the game bugs and you should reload a save before fighting controller

Psi-dogs can do the same.

I'm curious about the ones that manifest/control floating guns that shoot at you. Took several spas 12 and rhino shots to the face and didn't go down. The only one so far that has made me nope out of there lol

That was probably poltergeist - that nasty bugger forced me out of several places!

Not only poltergeist. Burers apparently can do that too, nasty little buggers

Psuedodog creates bait images of itself to keep you from shooting it. Could also be PSI damage and hallucinations.

I met two so far, one spawned lots of images, the other one "talked" to me. But arent these rather cats? Their sounds and style of movement are more that of felines rather than dogs.

The bald ones that are cat likes are Bayuns - the cat mutants - and they do talk, or rather mimic other stalkers as I understand
