- Brain AllocationPreserves the customer body, detects movement, actions, animation and player links, then adds only Argus-owned brain parts.
- Game-first onboardingEditable Action, Stealth and Shooter envelopes compose the same brain while role, body and project integrations remain independent.
- Six brain recipesBasic Guard, Cautious Ranged, Aggressive Melee, Hunter Creature, Brain Only and Custom Actor Integration ship with safe defaults.
- Seven no-code Action CardsHitscan, projectile, melee hitbox, area effect, heal, spawn/summon and UnityEvent/custom mechanics share one exact-once lifecycle.
- First-ten-minutes UXArgus Home, Quick Start, Setup Doctor, readiness receipts, an isolated Test Bench and a 12-second live intelligence proof lead the workflow.
- Core-compatible foundationPro contains the current Core tree and preserves its GUIDs, Argus.* namespaces and public integration seams.

Every decision begins with a named source of truth and keeps uncertainty visible.
- Complete Core perceptionVision, hearing, smell, clues, lighting, crouch/cover visibility, threat priority, five suspicion tiers and alert propagation are included.
- Durable evidence memoryBeliefs reinforce, decay and expire while newer firsthand knowledge is protected from stale reports.
- Imperfect squad intelligenceReports preserve timestamps and provenance, lose confidence with range and age, deduplicate and stop relay loops.
- Canonical actors and factionsGeneration-safe identity, multi-collider aliases, directional relationships and rules of engagement keep target selection legal.
- Spatial query systemShared XZ and XY candidate, filter and scorer pipelines support cover, flank, retreat, melee, support, objectives and custom purposes.
- Honest navigationRich receipts distinguish moving, arrived, partial, unreachable, stuck, interrupted, traversing and cancelled across replaceable backends.

The brain keeps a purpose across frames but yields when verified survival or world facts demand it.
- Explainable Decision AdvisorScores confidence, freshness, provenance, uncertainty and travel distance before recommending monitor, investigate, search or pursue.
- Tactical utility and doctrinesGuard, Assault, Marksman, Support, Coward and Berserker minds score the same truthful options differently without bypassing hard rules.
- Persistent goals and planningA bounded authored planner can interrupt a multi-step purpose for urgent needs, verify exact-once effects and resume the first valid unfinished step.
- Fair adaptive counterplayRepeated firsthand behavior can produce one readable, temporary counter that decays when the player changes tactics—without ML or hidden inputs.
- Cognition continuityVersioned snapshots preserve beliefs, goals, claims, cooldowns, resources, operations, random continuation and wake state across pooling, streaming, saves and authority changes.

Make every squad member useful
Global assignment, ownership leases and stable commitments prevent six capable enemies from collapsing into one crowd.
- Consensus rolesConflicting opinions become one uncertainty-aware objective with stable lead, flank, perimeter and reserve work.
- Adaptive search coverageReachable, observable points are claimed, cleared, released and reassigned so agents stop duplicating the same search.
- Predictive pursuit and containmentTimestamped direct observations produce bounded motion estimates, ETA-valid cutoffs and honest yield when a lane cannot be sealed.
- Formations and crossfireA base of fire, opposing pincer wings, support lanes and reserve adapt to target movement and refill casualties without needless reshuffling.
- Cover combatEnemies validate or discover protection, reserve distinct slots, hide, peek, fire in bounded windows and leave compromised angles.
- Suppression and fire-and-maneuverReal fire creates decaying pressure, authorizes exactly one protected mover and requires fresh fire from fresh cover before handoff.
E / OPERATE Direct the encounter, not just each agent
Specialist systems share one evidence-bounded force plan instead of issuing contradictory orders.

- Combat Flow DirectorRanks melee, ranged, area and specialist jobs, meters threat, replaces stalled attackers and rechecks player/camera facts at the exact effect frame.
- Humanized fire controlReaction, aim settle, optional warning misses, degrading bursts, ally-lane safety, pressure caps and evidence-only reacquisition replace turret aim.
- Morale, leadership and surrenderDamage, suppression, casualties, isolation and living leaders produce steady, shaken, broken, routed and strictly gated surrendered states.
- Breach, stack and clearA global solver assigns private stack slots, one door owner, ordered entry/clear sectors, rear security and honest aborts.
- Ordnance and area denialFrag, flash and smoke use one selected thrower, a real safe ballistic arc, visible tell, final revalidation and exactly one inventory release.
- Tactical smart objectsAlarms, medical stations, resupply, mounted positions, door controls and custom resources are globally matched, reserved and used exactly once.

HONEST SCOPE / 01
Enemy cognition and a reference combat stack. Your game remains yours.
Bring your own production character art and animations. Your game remains authoritative for movement, animation, damage, camera, player control and presentation. Argus Pro is deterministic gameplay AI: no machine learning, no generative AI, no cloud service, no telemetry dependency, and no subscription.
Questions, answered
Before you choose the brain.
Is Argus Pro an add-on that requires Argus Core?
No. Argus Pro includes the complete Argus Core feature set. Install Core or Pro—never both—in the same project.
What does Pro add beyond Argus Core?
Core provides perception, awareness, suspicion, basic guard behavior, and alert propagation. Pro adds outcome-first onboarding, durable memory, imperfect reports, persistent goals, utility doctrines, coordinated search and operations, fair combat direction, specialist tactics, continuity, scale tooling, and the complete reasoning and certification toolchain shown on this page.
Does the AI read the hidden player Transform to make predictions?
No. Prediction and tactical decisions are built from genuine observations and reports. The design goal is enemies that reason from evidence rather than omniscient access to hidden player state.
Do I have to use NavMesh or the included combat stack?
No. The reference NavMesh path and combat stack provide a complete starting point, but the same brain supports genuine Physics2D and public interfaces for root motion, KCC, A*, ECS, grid movement, custom locomotion, animation, damage and abilities.
Does it include production characters and animations?
Bring your own production character art and animations. Argus Pro provides enemy cognition, tactical decisions, integration contracts, and a reference combat stack.
Is this machine learning or generative AI?
No. Argus Pro uses deterministic gameplay AI. It has no machine-learning model, generative AI service, cloud dependency, or subscription.
Can the brain survive pooling, saves and network authority changes?
Yes. Versioned cognition snapshots cover identity remapping, beliefs, goals, claims, cooldowns, resources, operations, deterministic continuation and wake state. Authority is transport-neutral, with an isolated Netcode for GameObjects reference bridge.
What does the published 250-enemy benchmark prove?
It is a reproducible Windows Player workload for the shipped scheduler, LOD, perception, memory, targeting, utility, spatial, action, movement and route-query stack at 10, 50, 100 and 250 enemies. It deliberately excludes your characters, animation and rendering, so profile your final game before choosing a production budget.
What stage is Argus Pro at?
Argus Pro is at 1.0.0-rc.1. The complete automated release certification passes; the final 1.0 label remains reserved for the documented first-time-user observation of the Argus Home path in under ten minutes.
