A Cloaker is a special unit that spawns on Hard difficulty or above, and has a map
wide limit of
2. And Cloakers can also spawn in a phase during an assault known as "Hide Cloakers" These Cloakers
will be less aggressive than the ones spawned during the assault with fellow
SWAT operators and F.
B.I. Agents. "Hide Cloakers" Cloakers will not count to the map wide spawn limit like snipers, and other units scripted to spawn.
When a heister is downed, during the assault, Cloakers
will drop a smoke
bomb to make reviving the downed more difficult.
When a Cloaker charges, before or during the assault, the Cloaker
will emit a loud high pitched wailing
sound when doing a dropkick, and/or a charge.
Cloakers can do one of three things listed below:
Charge,
Dropkick,
or shoot,
When the Cloaker is charging, the heister must be within 10 feet of the player without visual contact, When doing a dropkick, the Cloaker and the heister must have eye to eye contact, and be within 5 feet near the Cloaker.
When the Cloaker shoots you, that means that the Cloaker is unable to dropkick you or charge at you.
And only in Payday The Heist, Cloakers can wallrun.
