Enemy Types

Endgame features enemies from two distinct factions: the Guild and Cradle-infected undead. Guild enemies are human soldiers and robotic units. Cradle enemies are undead, vermin, or supernatural entities created by exposure to the Cradle. Both types scale in difficulty with the zone they appear in.
