okay i dont know if this is suposed to be like this or not, but why playing my first time through as free lance i was able to do damage fine. Im playing my 2nd time as recruit i notice i do barely any damage at all ehad shots do not kill but take away a sliver of HP whe ni fight in melle all attacks are blocked by the enemy and if im hit in melee once i die in one hit. I thought this may be a bug so i switched back to my free lance toon damage and everything is fine on him but my recruit does no damage has no timers when it comes to any of the hacking or lockpicking or alarm removeing and does only a sliver worth of damage no matter what i use or where i hit and i cant figh in melee and die in one hit. Any idea why?

I had the same problem, I wasn't running recruit though. When it happened to me I was playing around with the megatrainer posted here after already finishing the game without any problems. So I don't know if the trainer causes it or what but a quick game reboot fixed for me, was able to finish the game again without it happening. It's funny when you have to pump about 300 rounds into those lame hotel guards just get them down lol.

But anyway, I'm sure the game isn't suppose to do that, a headshot is a headshot, they should always kill.

Yeah i noticed when i used the AP cheat in a differant trainer as well as in artmoney it seems to be the farther you train down the line the more it takes to kill a guard and the begin to block EVERY melee attack you throw as well as kill you in like 1-2 hits. I also noticed it makes the hacking circit board go from like 1-6 to 12-14 and makes the timer for the hacking of PC's shorter and makes the solid number choice block dealies smaller as well, also makeing lock picking have more pins to bypass with a slower timer. I think its an AP glitch messing with an INI file or something. either way it seems the more trained you become the more damage it takes to kill a guard to the point im out of ammo and am killed by 2 melee hits cause they block all mien and make hacking and such impossable unless you freeze them.

Either way it was fine untill i did teh AP cheat and fully trained my toon in all of his skill at lvl 6 not all the way just to as far at that lvl would let me some are still greyd out but still. i dont use god-mode so i die lol.

I noticed the CH trainer for HP makes the other guys immortal, but if you use Armour cheat you don't get hurt and you can kill other guys easy.

For me recruit seems to have its own dificulty even when I try to play on easy

1) My armor and health disappear faster than when i was Field Agent/Spy

2) Minigames are so much harder with bypass on alarms gaving up to 12 nodes to connect .... and no matter how I use skills or gear bonuses they are just as hard , and less EMP devices are carried I a stack.
