Greetings and salutations,

I've finally gotten around to playing AP. For my first run-through, I'm a Recruit and have specialized in Stealth, Pistols, and Sabotage. I'm doing Rome first and I decided to defuse the bombs at the museum. Now I'm fighting Conrad and he's kicking my butt. I can kill his goons easily, but this guy is ridiculously strong. Grenades, AK, clearshot – everything I have and I can barely even touch his health while his kung-f00 eats through my armor and health.

What to do?

PS: Please no spoilers.

What's your level in your main skills? You could try to wear him down first by planting a shock trap/flashbang near him while invisible thanks to Shadow Operative. Of course, use Overclock before setting the trap for maximum efficiency. Then, Chain Shot him, and run for your life. Trying to set traps near your location could be useful too.

Of course, the best advice I could give you is that Rome is perhaps not the best choice for starting the game, especially in Recruit. But it's obviously too late for that.

Best Advice: Go to another hub and level up. You can change them on the mission map by going back.

You can do that? I guess he won't be planting that bomb any time soon then!

Thank you. I tried this and managed to do much better though I still didn't win. I'm going to level up a bit more in Moscow, stock up on grenades, and try again.

One of my strategies worked for someone else! Huray ! And you're welcome .

After many tries he finally glitched out and was just standing with his back to me. I threw a couple of grenades and then chain shotted him as he attacked, that was the only way I managed to do it.

With sufficient stealth and some flash bangs he isn't too bad. Chain shot him (or whatever your wep of choice is) and either plant flash bangs were you *will* be going - he follows, gets blinded you stealth out to get away then hide out of sight and wait for chain to recharge. Rinse and repeat. It will take a while but that's how I beat him with the same build and I went to Rome first.

HtH with him is a bear - his dossier I don't think mentions it but he is pretty bad ass in a fistfight.

Max out Martial Arts and Conrad is a bad joke; beat up his men so he gets mad and rushes you, then turn on Fury and lay the smackdown. Deng is easy too, though I like to hide behind a pillar and screw with the sound generator to keep him at the opposite end of the hall while I'm listening to Sung's speech (there's a perk for listening to the whole thing).

Brayko is still a beast though... Melee Defense really helps when dealing with him (at the highest level of that his coke-fueled knife rampage barely did anything to my health), and you have to be careful when you rush in to put your boot in his face, but still.
