Different Ways to Spawn the Default Enemy

Hotline Miami 2 has a default enemy - basically, an enemy the game spawns when a nonexistent one is called up. It's the black guy in the green jersey from Midnight Animal, which you've probably seen in custom campaigns or Hammer levels featuring Soldiers.There are several ways to make him show up, both as a death sprite and as a functioning enemy. Let's go over the ways you can do it!Guards have the sprites for the toothbrush shiv's unique execution, but for some reason, they don't work. Using it as a regular weapon creates the "cut" death sprites for Guards, but executing them creates the default sprite instead.Soldiers are a buggy faction when used with other characters. They have no blunt death sprites, they only have two executions, and they sometimes create multiple death sprites when killed by a machete.Striking one with the baseball bat, chainlink, golf club, lead pipe, skateboard, hammer, or baton will spawn the default death sprite.Additionally, punching one will turn him into the default enemy. This enemy will stand around or back away from you until he dies.Victim6, or "the guy who looks like Beard in Midnight Animal," usually dies when hit by a weapon throw. However, the butterfly knife (which doesn't exist in his level) will sometimes ignore that rule and turn him into the default enemy. In other cases, they will turn into a Mafia enemy and die from the knife throw. Just like Soldiers, this enemy will back away until you kill it.I already covered this in the Fighting Restricted Enemies guide, but I might as well mention it here. Executing an enemy from a faction your character can't normally fight - like the Pig Butcher against Mafia or Pardo against Guards - will usually create the default death sprite.There are some exceptions to this rule. Most of Corey and Mark's executions work against Police, and a couple work against Colombians. Also, all of Pardo's non-gun executions work against the Mafia. Why these characters and enemies work together is still unknown.The Cop/Manny Pardo's attacks with the Machete can decapitate enemies against the wall, unlike The Hammer. Doing this against a Police enemy will spawn the default sprite, since they do not have any beheaded death sprites.
