First off grab those strength upgrades until you hit 13+, essential for handling tough enemies like headman. Keep a shotgun and tranq gun ready, and maybe a bat or sledge as backup. When dealing with headman stay low under tables, they're surprisingly bad at spotting crouched players.

For robe and hidden encounters, stick with teammates and break line of sight when spotted. Trudge might seem intimidating but its slow movement is exploitable, just keep distance and use tranq or environmental stuns. Huntsman responds well to distraction tactics, throw items around to create openings, and with clown you'll want to duck behind cover during laser charges.

Good to know that medium objects like chairs or propane tanks work great for stunning bigger threats, and remember to coordinate with teammates especially when someone's grabbed. If you're going for a strength build you'll naturally become the designated heavy lifter which is crucial for late-game encounters. When resources run low focus on objectives instead of picking unnecessary fights, and always keep healing items handy for those really tough situations.
