Red Bobbies are stronger passive enemies in We Happy Few.
"Bobby" is British slang for a policeman and thus, they are the law enforcement of Wellington Wells. Officially, they all work for the Executive Committee, acting as the government's primary armed force.
Bobbies use a special version of Joy known as Blackberry Joy, which allows them to take Joy while keeping a (mostly) clear head and without suffering any ill effects.
Appearance[]
Bobbies wear an Edwardian British policeman's uniform; consisting of a red Custodian Helmet, a red overcoat and trousers along with black dress shoes and white gloves. The front of the overcoat is adorned with three rows of gilded buttons, a gold-rimmed collar, a gold police badge, and a black leather belt with a silver Brunswick Star on the buckle. The custodian helmet is adorned with a bright red floodlight mounted in the center of a silver Brunswick Star badge.
Bobbies have Happy Face Masks like other Wellies, only theirs are twisted into a grin/sneer. They can also be seen wearing gas masks during night time. They typically wield Bobby Truncheons as their sole weapon but sometimes, though they may also utilize Electric Truncheons in combat. They are much stronger compared to the Wellies.
Overview[]
Red Bobbies are much stronger and uncommon compared to the regular blue Bobbies. Unlike regular bobbies, Red Bobbies always wield either Electric Truncheons, The "Spitfire", or The "Pipe Down". Their behaviour is the same as the regular Bobbies.
The player cannot bribe Red Bobbies with Scotch.
Locations[]
In Hamlyn Village, they'll act as security guards inside shops (excluding the Shady Dealer and Corner Pub). Constable Rowlandson is the guard at the Reform Club.
