Whats up with the assassins?

[ian]

They are close to impossible to defeat! They were never this hard in the original Half Life. I cant get past them in the chapter "Lambda Core".

Tough little ninja boogers.

Yeah well I somehow figured out a stratagy, satchel charges. Surprisingly it worked.

They are meant to be a pain. I kinda like they finally make these specially-trained assassins to be on that level. Satchel charges and tripmines work for me.

You make an excellent point there.

[PuttyGod]

Yeah any kind of bomb is effective, especially trip wires and underbarrel grenades, but it's also fun to try and crossbow bolt them or dome them from a distance with the magnum. I'm glad they aren't easy.

They're annoying in Half Life 1 as well on Hard, and then they have cloaking. In Black Mesa, while they also have cloaking on hard, they don't even need it on normal as they are still tough to hit and deal a lot of damage.

357 or shotgun double blast does wonders on them.

[Cyber Douchebag]

They love running into tripmines. Also in that encounter you can find some tight corridors where your shotgun will tear them apart.

Those in Lambda are possible to kill with infinite bug hivehand. You just make them see you and retreat to the door area(there are bodies of scientists there) and spam bugs. They retreat after taking damage but eventually come back for more. You can still be shot though but it's the easiest way to kill them.

[painka05]

You can dispose of Lambda assassins by memorizing their locations and sniping them. You won't even be detected, as they are not alerted and not moving. But for those 3 in Apprehension you'll have to deal with them directly. Tripmines do this work the best and revolver is very handy.

[Vendelator]

Just magnum them in their faces ^^

[GM72]

Or When you go up the stairs you will encounter 2 or 3 of them , Back up and use the Gernade Launcher or Frag them

[¬G.P¬ мเиเ קµяקℓэ ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)]

on that part just run past them and only kill those who are in front of u blocking ur way.
