The Saboteur’s Wanted Levels Explained

Pandemic has revealed how the ‘wanted' system will work in its upcoming WWII open world actioner The Saboteur.

In an interview with IncGamers, Pandemic's Tom French explained the various wanted levels.

"What happens is, level one, you have standard Wehrmacht soldiers, the vehicles are pretty much like Kubelwagens, which are kinda like little jeeps, and then motorcycles with sidecars," said French.

"Next level you start getting heavier soldiers and trucks starting to pour in more guys. Next level you start getting APCs with mounted guns on them attacking you, heavier soldiers inside of them."

French added that, at this point, the player will start to think about the superior weapons that can be acquired from the higher wanted levels.

"Next level those APCs will start showing up with terror squad soldiers in them that are heavily armoured, but the risk/reward at that point becomes "Now I want those terror squad guns," because the only way you can really get them is through actually killing terror squads, or get ammo for them is by farming it off the dead bodies of these guys.

"So then you start pushing that, risking diving down in there - because you could be hiding up on the roofs. You can get to one or two hiding up on the roofs, but you're going to start running out of ammo. Dive into the situation, grab one of their guns, stock up on ammo, grab maybe a rocket launcher."

French revealed that things get even more intense at four and five stars. 

"At level four the Zeppelins start coming in, attacking you, shoot that thing down, more terror squads. Level five, tanks show up, planes start strafing you, everything that pours out of an APC is a terror squad. So it really just gets big in scale and it gets really over the top and fun."

More fun, we hope, than the recent Pandemic closure...
