Bosses and enemies

Commanders are always somewhere on the map. Lieutenants are tougher soldiers you track down from a Lieutenant Hunt tower or with Boss Board intel.

Colossus is one of the three Commanders. He is always somewhere in Hajin and shows on your Tac-Map once you get close.

Many standard weapons barely scratch a Commander, so plan the fight. A fight can draw nearby enemies, rival Operators and squads hunting the same target. Be ready to break contact.

Deathstalker is one of the three Commanders. It is always somewhere in Hajin and shows on your Tac-Map once you get close.

A SAM site is a missile battery fixed in place. You take it over as a Side Op by hacking its control computer. The hack sets off a siren, and nearby enemies may respond. Stay and guard the site until the hack is done.

While you hold it, it shoots at enemy aircraft on its own. That is especially handy against Deathstalker. If you move too far from it, the enemy can capture it again.

The FOB guide says four types of enemy drones are active in Hajin.

The tank is one of the three Commanders. The Hajin guide calls it the main NK battle tank, and the FOB guide just calls it Tank.

It patrols on high alert and shows on your Tac-Map once you get close. Many standard weapons barely scratch a Commander, so bring a plan.

Drops
A Dog Tag Case every time. Their weapon rarely, and sometimes a Key to their loot room

Gorani is named in The Forest Phantom, one of the story sections in the Hajin guide. The details above come from that story, not from the game rules.

Lieutenants are tougher than normal soldiers, carry unique loadouts and sometimes have a small group of loyal troops with them.

A dropped Dog Tag Case is visible to all Operators on the Tac-Map. Pick it up and your own position is broadcast as well, so plan to exfil quickly.

Bale is named in Not Without Him, one of the story sections in the Hajin guide. The details above come from that story, not from the game rules.

In the story, his elite troops cover the approaches to the air base. The squad has to fight its way in under fire to reach the gates.

A Lieutenant always drops a Dog Tag Case. Extract with it to move your Boss Board forward.

The Warden is named in Gone to the Dogs, one of the story sections in the Hajin guide. The details above come from that story, not from the game rules.

In the story, a Key taken from his body led to a sealed door under NuriGO Mall. Lieutenants can drop a Key to their own locked location, and every Key names a grid square in its description.

In the story
Two charge a lone Operator in the abandoned mall under NuriGO Mall

K9s are robots on four articulated legs. The Hajin guide says they are usually found underground.

In the Gone to the Dogs story section, a lone Operator in the abandoned mall under NuriGO Mall is charged by two of them, one after the other. The first comes at a full sprint. This is a story scene, not a rules line.

Attack helicopter patrols

Enemy
Type
Attack infantry helicopter patrols
SAM site
A captured one fires at enemy aircraft by itself

The Hajin guide lists the patrols as an enemy type and gives no more detail on them.

The Hajin guide says a captured SAM site fires at enemy aircraft. It does not name these patrols. A SAM site is a missile battery you take over as a Side Op. Once it is yours, it shoots at enemy aircraft on its own. If you move too far away, the enemy can retake it.

What happens
A Hunt Squad is sent to track you down
Your status
Marked for Death

The Hostiles Kill Count tracks how many enemy combatants you have killed in the current deployment. When it fills, a Hunt Squad comes for you and you are Marked for Death.

The guides give no number for how many kills fill it.

Bounty

Whether you fight other players is up to you. Proximity chat and the ping wheel's Truce and join-up options are there if you would rather not.

The table under the cards sums up how bounties, Wanted status and hunting work.
