Oh, wow. This is exactly what I was looking for before getting Payday 2: a detailed guide on the enemies and what you need to know about them. Thanks dude, I'm more than glad to throw a thumbs up your way for this great guide.

Be sure to comment on the black Buldozers, and the fact that they do 1/4 damage, but have much more range.

By the way, if a cloaker is found hiding under something it will immidieatly try to charge you. No matter the distance.

Cloakers also make a high pitched noise when they approach now.
