Easy difficulty is Ghost Babel with training wheels.

• More resources spawn
• Some bosses become easier
• Snake is built like a tank, needing a ration is fairly unlikely.
• Fewer guards and cameras
• One of the awkward aspects of Easy is that Alerts and Evasions clear faster than other difficulties.
• Guards without body armor die in 1 bullet, 2 bullets with body armor.
• Guards without body armor will die immediately if you triple punch them.
