Besides dealing with the humanoid footsoldiers there is a great deal of focus on monstrous creatures you have to face such as the dinosaur-like Brumak (with a cannon on its back and chainguns on each arm), the crab/spider-like Corpser and the "monkey-dog" [[Zerg Rush|Wretch]].

If you hit a button at the right time, they can reload their gun '''hard''' and make the bullets come out stronger. This game will make a man out of you, even if you're a woman.
** Anya and Samantha are every bit as manly as their male teammates. Seeing Anya scream and cuss as she chainsaws a Locust in half will remove whatever doubt you may have that her upgrade from [[Voice With an Internet Connection|control operative]] to [[Action Girl]] may be a plot contrivance.
