Editing Difficulty (section)

==[[File:Easy.png|16px]] Beginner==
This difficulty is recommended for first-time players as they need to know their way around the map before getting into the real game-play. [[Specimen]]s in this difficulty are extremely fragile at 50% of their base health and moving with 95% speed. The specimen count in each wave is very low, specimens do 30% of melee base damage, 37.5% of ranged damage and yield higher bounties when killed. Your [[Combat armour|armor]] is more durable in this difficulty and absorb up 93% of the damage from most specimen attacks. Other than [[Siren]] screams and anything from the [[Patriarch]] everything else reduced to chip damage for a player with armor. Players spawn with £300. There is also Trader time extension of 50%, giving you 30 seconds more for getting ready for another wave. Ammo boxes and random weapon spawns are abundant they always replenish [[pipe bomb]]s and [[grenade]]s. No tactics are really needed to win this difficulty regardless of whether with a [[squad]] or playing a [[solo]] game. Even the [[Patriarch]], compared to other difficulties, should be relatively easy to defeat.
