monster_human_assassin - Point Entity

Fast, stealthy, fully clad in black and equipped with a silenced pistol and grenades. These elite female assassins are extremely agile and can dish out a lot of damage in a short time. They will run and jump in order to avoid the players fire and will try to attack from multiple directions.

They operate in small teams and are typically found in areas that offer a lot of cover, where they can make best use of their hide-and-seek behavior.

	Health	Pistol damage	Grenade damage
Easy	30	5	100
Medium	50	5	100
Hard	50	8	100

Notes

• Level designers should take advantage of their jumping behaviour by adding verticality to levels with assassins; places that they can reach by jumping that the players can't as easily. info_node placement is also crucial; too few and assassins could get stranded on those high boxes.
