Darkflow Software rebuilt Enlisted for its Steam launch, folding six separate campaigns into one army per nation and sorting every squad, weapon and vehicle into Battle Ratings I through V. It arrived on Steam as Enlisted: Reinforced on 16 July 2024, free to play, published by Gaijin Network. You command an AI squad rather than a lone soldier, so being shot drops you into the next man in the squad instead of ending the life.
Boss fights are where Enlisted: Reinforced tests everything you've learned. This guide covers strategies for bosses across all areas, organized by progression order. For general combat techniques, see our combat guide.
Boss Difficulty Overview
| Area | Difficulty | Recommended Role | Key Weapons |
|---|---|---|---|
| Normandy | Easy | Assaulter | PPSh-41 |
| Berlin | Moderate | Assaulter | PPSh-41 |
| Tunisia | Hard | Rifleman | M1 Garand |
| Stalingrad | Very Hard | Rifleman | M1 Garand |
| Pacific | Extreme | Rifleman | M1 Garand |
Normandy Bosses
Area difficulty: Easy Recommended level: Mostly BR III to IV Recommended role: Assaulter with PPSh-41
Strategy
The first bosses teach core combat mechanics. Focus on learning patterns rather than dealing damage. You control one soldier while the rest of the squad follows your orders, and a death hands you the next man in line rather than sending you to the deploy screen. This is your primary tool here.
Key tips:
- Don't rush. Learn the attack patterns first.
- Use Squad command with AI soldiers to create safe windows.
- PPSh-41 is enough to handle everything here.
Berlin Bosses
Area difficulty: Moderate Recommended level: Mostly BR IV to V Recommended role: Assaulter with PPSh-41
Strategy
Early game bosses test your understanding of Battle Rating I to V matchmaking. Players who skipped learning this mechanic will hit a wall here.
Key tips:
- Battle Rating I to V matchmaking is critical for these fights.
- Farm PPSh-41 upgrades if you're struggling.
- Consider switching to Assaulter if your current setup isn't working.
Tunisia Bosses
Area difficulty: Hard Recommended level: Mostly BR II to III Recommended role: Rifleman with M1 Garand
Strategy
Mid-game bosses are the major skill check. They combine multiple mechanics and punish players who rely on a single strategy.
Key tips:
- You need both Squad command with AI soldiers and Engineer rally points and fortifications mastery.
- M1 Garand makes a significant difference. Get it before attempting these.
- See our combat guide for advanced techniques.
Stalingrad Bosses
Area difficulty: Very Hard Recommended level: Mostly BR II to III Recommended role: Rifleman with M1 Garand
Strategy
Late-game bosses are serious challenges. Build optimization matters as much as mechanical skill.
Key tips:
- Make sure your build is fully optimized.
- M1 Garand at max upgrade is recommended.
- Study each boss's attack patterns. Most have 2-3 phases.
Pacific Bosses
Area difficulty: Extreme Recommended level: Mostly BR II to IV Recommended role: Rifleman with M1 Garand
Strategy
Endgame bosses are the ultimate test. They require mastery of all combat systems and an optimized build.
Key tips:
- Top-tier build with best-in-slot gear is mandatory.
- Master every mechanic. See our combat guide.
- These fights reward patience and pattern recognition above all else.
General Boss Tips
- Learn before you fight: Spend your first attempt observing attack patterns. Don't try to win on attempt one.
- Match your build: Some bosses favor certain builds over others. Don't be afraid to switch.
- Upgrade your weapons: A max-upgraded M1 Garand trivializes fights that seem impossible with weaker gear.
- Use Squad command with AI soldiers: The core combat mechanic is your best defensive tool in every boss fight.
- Check the walkthrough: Our walkthrough tells you when you're ready for each boss.
