The bosses, who are denoted as such via a large health bar in the upper-central corner of the screen, have a much larger damage resistance than the standard enemies and cannot be defeated with just a few headshots.
Somewhat unique for a realistic shooter game, the game uses a system of boss fights the bosses in the game are humans themselves, though a tank and a helicopter are both faced. One ability, called Chain Shot, has been mentioned in previews and allows Thorton to scan a group of enemies in slow-motion before popping out of cover and shooting each of them more rapidly than he would be capable of normally, similar to the "Mark and Execute" mechanic of Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction or the "Focus Aim" of James Bond 007: Blood Stone. These abilities are free to use, but require a "cooldown" period before they can be used again. These skills will increase Thorton's ability to use certain weapons and grant different abilities to him. In addition to the action elements, players also earn Advancement Points, which can be placed into any of the ten different skills in the game. As Thorton is a trained covert operative, the tools at the player's disposal include numerous firearms, hand to hand combat using Kenpo, and spy gadgets. Alpha Protocol is played from a third-person perspective, allowing the player to see Thorton and his surroundings at all times.
