Sneaker



Sneakers are mechanically-augmented enemies in Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

Characteristics
A variety of Belltower Special Ops, sneakers are usually deployed with ogres and soldiers. All 4 limbs are augmented, and some major ventral augs are also installed to allow invisibility and ballistic shielding.

Although sneakers are not especially tough (Actually weaker than the typical soldier) they are capable of using the Glass-shield Cloaking System, making them virtually invisible. Unlike the player, sneakers are capable of remaining cloaked while shooting, but this still exposes their location and limits them to smaller weapons such as Pistols and Machine Pistols.

Tactics
Although their cloaks make them near undetectable, Sneakers will usually be shooting whenever possible, giving away their location. Simply hiding behind cover and striking once with a powerful weapon such as the Sniper rifle or Shotgun will finish them off quickly. A well-placed EMP grenade can cripple them, and a M1-A Frag Grenade can finish them off just as easily. Smart Vision will make fighting these enemies trivial.
