Heller can also sneak up on unsuspecting human enemies, inject them with the Blacklight virus turning them into 'BioBomb' to blow up spectacularly. Heller will be able to use weapons in the game, such as ripping the Gatling cannon off a tank and using it against enemies. To make sure that enemies do not overwhelm the player, Radical has created a dodging system and new, more realistic AI. Due to Blackwatch's actions in the Yellow Zone, if the player assumes the role of a soldier, people will react to him in a way that shows that they want nothing to do with him. Taking people's identities and shapeshifting into them has become more tactical. James Heller can shapeshift and assume other people's identities and memories by consuming them.
