	Individually, Lost are frail (sometimes having as little as 2 HP) and restricted to melee attacks. However, the Lost are '''never''' found alone- they respawn endlessly on the maps that they appear in, allowing them to overwhelm even hardened soldiers through sheer numbers. Lost swarms are attracted to loud noises; consequently, using explosives will cause then to spawn faster and in larger groups. They make no attempts to use cover and will blindly rush the nearest target available to them.		Individually, Lost are frail (sometimes having as little as 2 HP) and restricted to melee attacks.

	To compensate for their swarm tactics, a special mechanic called Headshots applies when fighting Lost. Any standard shot that kills a Lost is a free action, allowing a soldier to kill as many Lost as he has rounds available so long as he doesn't miss or fail to kill a Lost. They are also especially weak to fire; Burning does bonus damage to them and they cannot attack while burning. As a result, it is advised to take a flamethrower on any mission featuring the Lost. A Bladestorm Ranger can also be effective so long as the Ranger doesn't miss.		To compensate for their swarm tactics, a special mechanic called Headshots applies when fighting Lost.
