====== Guards ======

**Guards** are enemy units who protect corporate [[:facility|facilities]]. There are various types of guard, with different abilities and characteristics; the number of guards and the types of guard in a facility depend on the [[:corporation]] and the [[:mission difficulty]], as well as the [[:mission]] type itself and the [[:modes:|game difficulty setting]]. Guards are [[class|classified]] roughly according to their relative danger to the player, with "Common", "Elite", "Lvl 2 Elite" and "OMNI" guards appearing at progressively higher mission difficulties.
[[:Agents:]] can [[:attack]] guards, but the guards in any facility will usually outmatch the agency in raw firepower; so hiding from guards or [[:strategy:distraction|distracting]] them is often a better option than fighting. It is therefore important to understand [[:guard behaviour]].
Most types of human enemy, including [[#civilians]], have a [[:vision]] range of 8 tiles in a 45° arc, and a [[:vision#peripheral vision]] range of 10 tiles in a 90° arc; they can also hear [[:noise]].
===== Armed guards =====
Most guards are armed with guns, so they can [[:guard behaviour#overwatch]] and shoot agents or other agency-controlled units, dealing [[:lethal damage]] at range. Armed guards can also [[:guard behaviour#breaching doors|breach doors]], destroying the door and [[:KO|knocking out]] any agent on the other side. Many guards have [[:armor]].

===== Civilians =====
> //Civilians. They're working late, aren't they? Maybe we should... interrogate them.// \\ ---[[:agents:Monst3r]]
**Civilians** are unarmed enemy units which occur in some missions. Civilians cannot attack, and cannot become [[:guard behaviour#alerted]]; in a situation where a guard would normally become alerted, a civilian [[:guard behaviour#panicking|panics]] and flees the facility via the nearest [[:facility#guard entrances|guard entrance]].

| {{:guards:icons:scientist.png}} | [[Scientist]] [icon:CP] | --- | --- | 8 AP | Appears in [[:missions:Program Compile]] side-missions, and the [[:missions:OMNI Foundry Lab]] mission. |
[icon:CP] Found in the [[:Contingency Plan]] DLC.
===== Drones =====
**Drones** are robotic guards. Some drones are weaponized, but others can still see agents or otherwise detect them, potentially bringing other guards to [[:guard behaviour#investigating|investigate]]. Many drones occur only in [[:corporations:Sankaku]] facilities.
Most types of drone have a [[:vision]] range of 8 tiles in a 90° arc, and no [[:vision#peripheral vision]]. All drones except [[Pulse Drones]] have [[:local scanners]], which scan for agents in a radius of 4 tiles, ignoring [[:cover#soft cover]]. Drones have no hearing, so [[:noise]] does not distract them, though noise can [[:guard behaviour:#alerted|alert]] drones by triggering a nearby [[:mainframe devices:Sound Bug]].
Drones are [[:mainframe devices:]], so they have [[:firewalls]] which can be hacked. When a drone is hacked it becomes temporarily controlled by the agency; controlled drones give the player 360° vision from their location, and can be moved by the player. Weaponized drones can be controlled to shoot other guards, or to shoot [[:mainframe devices:Security Cameras]]; [[Akuma Drones]] can also be controlled to destroy [[:doors]]. When the program [[:programs:Leash]] is installed, hacked drones remain controlled for one turn longer.
Drones [[:rebooting|reboot]] when they return to the enemy's control after being hacked, or can be rebooted by [[:EMP]] damage. A rebooting drone can be [[:KO#pinning|pinned]] to stop its reboot timer from counting down. All drones except [[Pulse Drones]] become [[:guard behaviour#alerted]] after they finish rebooting. [[Camera Drones]] and [[Pulse Drones]] are "EMP vulnerable", meaning they are destroyed by EMP damage instead of rebooting.
Drones cannot be [[:KO|knocked out]], but can be destroyed using [[:lethal damage|lethal]] weapons.
