The Slugger is one of the enemy types found in Ghostrunner. Equipped with close-combat implants, sluggers will try to get as close as possible. Their main attack is a jump: After a short windup accompanied by bright sparks, if the player is on the ground or a wall, the slugger will jump, landing on or near the player and emitting a shockwave in a small radius. The shockwave is deadly. If the attack is avoided, after a short cooldown, he will try to jump again. If he misses the player on a wall, he will continiue moving along it to land on the next platform. If The Ghostrunner is too close, the slugger will attempt to punch him.

Sluggers are easy to avoid when you're not distracted by other enemies. Sluggers can be killed during their wind-up or after their landing, but not in the air (unless you're using an ability). Use dash or jump to get out of their landing zone, always be aware of your surroundings.

Quotes
