Here is where I keep my games when I'm gaming on Windows. Click Steam in the top left > Settings and Click 'Storage'.Ĭlick the + Icon, and make a new SteamLibrary folder anywhere you want. If this is the case, you can make another Steam Library Folder using the Storage feature. If mods are installed correctly, they may start working for you. If you think you might be being affected by this, try moving your copy of Shock 2 from the Program Files folder into another folder like 'C:\Games' and launch it. This varies from machine to machine and some people may not have a problem at all. The long story short is that if you have your copy of System Shock 2 located within either the Program Files or the Program Files (x86) folder, you may encounter problems and some, or all, mods may not work at all. On Windows, the "Program Files" folder is a protected folder that works differently from other folders on your computer. It will give you a 25% damage bonus against all Hybrids, not just those wielding pipes.Let's start off with some important information. If you have Research skill, be sure to investigate the first Hybrid Organ you find. With enough agility, you'll be able to deal damage to them safely using melee weapons while stepping backwards. Alternatively, you can backtrack while they charge.

Your best bet is to circle-strafe around them and attack using your Wrench or another melee weapon chances are you'll take little to no damage in the process.

Although their lack of a ranged attack might suggest that taking them out from a distance is preferable, their low attack speed makes them easy to kill even in close combat. Hybrids are generally slow-moving, and are limited to a melee attack, courtesy of the Lead Pipes they carry. They are fairly easy to dispatch, and are limited to melee attacks. They make up the majority of enemy resistance on MedSci Deck, and typically appear on every other level, albeit in significantly reduced numbers later into the game. Hybrids are humans who have been infected by the parasitic Annelids, and mutated into monsters in service of the Many. The Pipe Hybrid is the first enemy encountered in System Shock 2, and one of the least threatening.
