When it comes to taking on video game enemies, the best players will take some time to analyse their surroundings, take note of the different opponents they have in front of them, and methodically plan out which weapons/items and in which order they are going to use to progress. This is especially important to those trying to operate under some stealth.

Having a rogue baddie suddenly bursting towards the screen, blowing their cover in a foolhardy attempt to be the hero is always an annoying thing for them to have to clear.

Suicide chargers can vary in their health and difficulty in terms of taking down - it's their sudden charging that can unsettle a player's attention and cause mayhem in a game. Usually, the best method of overcoming a charger is by purposefully picking them off before they spot a player, however that can often take up more time and ammo than a player would like to spend.

And, no matter how much prep time a player might invest in scanning their surroundings, there's always a risk of a charger suddenly appearing on their screen and completely throwing the strategy book out the window.
