🧠 Partisan overview
Partisan is a lone hunter-style boss introduced after patch 0.15. He is neither a Raider nor a Goon; he stalks players, especially in raids with poor PMC karma.
📍 Spawn locations
He can appear across Customs, Woods, Shoreline, and Lighthouse. There is no fixed spawn point, so he can be almost anywhere on those maps.
⚠️ Main threats
• Quiet movement through bushes and unexpected flanks
• Tripwires, mines, and ambushes
• Opening fire from cover before you see him
• A large health pool, armour, grenades, and strong weapons
🎯 Survival strategy
1. Check bushes, doorways, and routes for traps before pushing.
2. Use grenades to test suspicious cover.
3. Listen for foliage, shots, grenades, and tripwire sounds.
4. Change position after every engagement; do not stand still waiting for a second peek.
5. Prefer long-range fights in open terrain over close-quarters combat in tight buildings.
💀 Loot
Partisan can carry weapons, grenades, medical supplies, keys, keycards, and his unique backpack. The loot is useful, but it is never worth sprinting blindly into a suspected trap.
