Angel of Death

Does it only add respawning enemies?

[naksiloth]

They don't respawn per se but resurrect if they have an intact corpse left behind. Find a way to gib the corpse, usually shoot it to pieces with Disperser or Ion Bow and you're good to go.

Yeah, it's basically the highest difficulty + most enemies respawn, to my knowlege.

Generally, any non-robot that leaves a corpse is liable to resurrect in several seconds (it sees you). So basically most humanoid enemies, the "Deacons" (red homing missile drones), spiders, and other (mostly) biological foes.
Edit: Or heck, almost anything whose corpse you can attack and gib, basically.

And like he said, beating the dead horse will gib it, and gibbed/exploded corpses don't resurrect anymore. (Though, initially, you'll want to litterally beat em with the stick, because you need all the ammo you can find in the first levels.)

Thanks for the answers, Angel of Death wasn't around last time I played. I don't think I shall partake, not a fan of gibbing corpses. Zortch also has the same system on the highest setting.

Edit: Btw, did they change stuff? For example I swear that Bowling Balls used to home on enemies.

There is a lot of new weapon code, and pre-existing weapon code refactoring in Aftershock. The bowling bombs do home in on enemies, but you need to hold the fire button down a bit to charge them up (the charging is displayed at the bottom of the screen), although I'm not really sure how you could have missed any real changes in that as I'm pretty sure that change was first introduced while the game was still in Early Access.

It's been a while and I've forgotten how things work. I remember some enemies dealing more damage and I do not remember them dropping green syringes for 5 health, but then again apparently I don't even remember how to make full use of the arsenal, so...

[Uzi Master]

Enemies never dropped syringes, but trashcans and such can.

Enemies do drop armor shards if you gib them at the same time you kill them.

[naksiloth]

If you are at low health, slain humanoid enemies can drop emergency syringes. Never really noticed this in Ion Fury perhaps because I never let my guard down, but apparently that's a thing in Aftershock? Especially in Angel of Death things get in a turmoil too fast and you get to fend yourself barely alive often.

They still do, you just have to hold down the left mouse button. The alt-fire can't home in, but it gets extra damage and blast radius.
