ARC AI (New version)

— Adaptive Response Combat AI

ARC AI is a comprehensive overhaul of enemy behavior and core combat systems, designed to create more dynamic, realistic, and tactically engaging encounters. Opponents no longer follow predictable patterns — they analyze situations, adapt under pressure, and use map geometry to gain a tactical advantage.

The logic behind suspect morale has been completely reworked.

Suspects build combat morale during direct encounters with the player and SWAT units.

Morale is influenced by events such as:

• []grenade explosions; [/]

  []C2 breaching charges; [/]

  []use of non-lethal weapons; [/]

  []taser deployment; [/]

  []voice commands and SWAT shouting. [/]

Depending on the specific map and suspect type:

• []some suspects are more likely to surrender quickly; [/]

  []others exhibit increased aggression and a stronger tendency toward lethal engagement. [/]

Civilians:

• []now prioritize surrendering; [/]

  []no longer remain passive while waiting for the player to approach. [/]

---

Each map has been reworked to reflect its context, difficulty, and engagement logic.

Suspect behavior depends on:

• []training level; [/]

  []archetype role; [/]

  []specific mission characteristics. [/]

This creates a wider variety of encounter scenarios:

• []from chaotic and panicked behavior; [/]

  []to organized and aggressively defensive resistance. [/]

---

The shooting and damage model has been updated for improved realism.

• []Accuracy values for all weapon types have been reworked. [/]

  []The likelihood of instant death from single shots has been reduced in most situations. [/]

  []Overly precise shooting through thin geometry and small gaps (fences, thin cover, etc.) has been fixed. [/]

Shooting behavior now changes depending on:

• []distance; [/]

  []weapon type; [/]

  []target movement; [/]

  []current suspect state. [/]

---

Enemy spawn logic and trap placement have been reworked.

The number and placement of tripwires depend on:

• []difficulty level; [/]

  []map; [/]

  []mission scenario. [/]

Suspect spawn points have been redesigned to:

[]increase variability; [/]
