Big Shadow

Big Shadows are enemies only found in the deep sections of the complex, acting as the larger variant of the Shadows found in the complex. They behave very similarly (apart from being invisible) to the Big Striker. They made their debut in Rundown #2 E1.

Appearance
The Big Shadow's appearance is similar to a Big Striker. However, like other shadows, they are mostly translucent, being almost impossible to see without a flashlight. Even with a flashlight, they are quite difficult to see. They make similar noises to regular Big Strikers, unlike regular shadows who are much higher pitched.

Spawning
Big Shadows are rare, simply because they only spawn in certain expeditions and in specific rooms. However, in these rooms they might spawn in high numbers, which can make them very troublesome. Usually they spawn in pairs and only spawn in sleeping state. However, they can wake up if they are in the room connected by a bloody door.

Behavior
Since they spawn in the sleeping state, their behavior is the same as any other enemy in this state. However, a large difference is the fact that they are very hard to see, which is a problem as using a flashlight to see them will cause them to enter the second stage of awareness very quickly.

They can be killed silently while in the sleeping state, in the same method as a Big striker. However, this is dangerous because if they are not killed they will be able to inflict very high damage to players nearby. There could also be trouble seeing if they have actually died or are simply staggered.

When alerted, their behavior acts as a combination of both the Big Striker and the Charger, having a very long-range tongue attack. However, they will usually use their other attack of charging players and using their melee attack (which is very dangerous as it does 40% damage). This means that even the healthiest player can be quickly downed by them. The Bio Tracker is extremely valuable when fighting them as without tracking abilities they are hard to spot before they will have already downed you. Despite them being Shadow enemies they will still be marked for one minute if marked by the Bio Tracker.
