Talking to Solace will unlock Eclipse's 2nd and 3rd challenge and once the BRC beat all Eclipse's challenges, the gate to the next area opened (Freeing Solace at the same time). As the BRC walk to the next area a sniper shot Red's cyberhead (Which strangely enough, didn't even fazed him enough to make him aware of those shots). "Snipers!" Tryce shouted and at this point, the gang finally scatter to avoid their shots. Those snipers were lead by a white cyberhead named Escher, he was given the order to hunt Red for what he thought was armed with weapons even though Red only carry spray can all this time (That long beat from Escher speak something about the awkward situation and misinformation he had from his forces). Still...that doesn't stop the BRC especially Red from searching the lad's missing memory. With determination, Red confront Escher.
Unlike the ground police units, snipers only need one hit to make them flee and for Escher's case, he needs three consecutive hits but the problem, one hit and he will teleport to different location up to three times at each hit, making him an annoying boss than anything. As for their shots, well...the game shows you their crosshair whenever they take aim on you, so you know where they are and how to avoid their shots before the shot land.
