They may be blind but they can hear and scream very well

Irrational Games has presented a new type of Heavy Hitter enemies that will be encountered by players in the upcoming BioShock Infinite game, in the form of the Boys of Silence.

Besides regular opponents, the protagonist of Infinite, Booker, will have to fight against an array of Heavy Hitters, which are more powerful and pose a serious challenge.

We’ve already seen the Mechanized Patriot, as well as the Handyman, and now developer Irrational has presented the Boys of Silence.

Seeing as how these enemies are blind, they’ll use their unique helmets to listen and track down the player. You can choose either to sneak past them or to fight them head on, although the latter course of action means the enemies will call in for reinforcements by screaming.

Check out the video above to see the Boys of Silence in action.

BioShock Infinite is out this October for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.
