Bingo. :) It's one reason why Big Chase and the Showdown are two of
the most sought-after Challenges - they slam everybody equally. (Ever
seen an entire team of mages croak in one shot?)

Of course, you only take damage if the alarm is triggered. They're also
all Outdoor Challenges, meaning they get spoofed by Objectives like
Extraction and Assassination. Some are also Street (meaning they can
get hit with a Sleep).

Me, I really like the Yakuza Hit Squad from Underworld, which isn't
*quite* the same.
