Daxinghai Contractors
Daxinghai Contractors serve the Tashinhai Consu as bodyguards but at times they will be sent by Chan as fireteams to engage opposing forces which are usually hired guns.

Karen Low vs Max Payne
Explanations:
 * For Experience both these warriors have headed into combat before but while Karen's experience in the PLA is certainly useful but Max has been in more firefights and has has to deal with a gretaer versatility of enemies.
 * For training Max has been trained up as a cop and has managed to get himself to Homicidal detective during his years as a cop but Karen simpily has better training due to her training up in the PLA as a soldier which beats Max's training.
 * For killer instinct I gave the advantage to Karen as while Max may start off killing sprees he usually targets the people he belives are criminals while Karen is capable of not only shooting anyone that attacks her she will even shoot one of her own soldiers if they were to disobey orders.
 * Between Karen and Max my advantage for Psychological health went to Karen as the only thing that is wrong with her mentally is that she is slightly fanatical when serving under Chan. Max meanwhile suffers from drinking habits and has an addiction to painkillers plus the murder of his wife and daughter is very damaging to Max's mental health.
 * For tactics I easily gave my advantage to Karen as she is the head of security for the Tashinhai Consu while Max has no record of leading squads in combat.
 * For accuracy I had to go with Max for this X-Factor as he can pretty much pull of some incredible shooting skills when moving while Karen is a decent shot but she can miss shots when shooting unlike Max.

Daxinghai Contractors vs DEA Agents
Explanations:
 * For training I easliy gave my advantage to the DEA as they were trained to handle situations invloving taking down cartels and various other criminals in any situation while the Daxinghai Contractors are slightly above cartels they aren't that well trained in to adapt to new situations.
 * For experience again I had to go with the DEA considering they have to deal with criminals on a day to day basis compared to the Daxinghai who are usually guarding most of the time and are only sometimes sent out to combat other groups.
 * For obediance I placed the DEA and Daxinghai as evenly matched as they both follow orders from greater authority with next to no questions asked.
 * Between the Daxinghai and the DEA I easily give the advantage of Calm Under Fire to the DEA as the Daxinghai have proven capable of being broken menatlly during combat which was shown during their fight with Koko's bodyguards compared to the DEA having the traing to prepare them for keepng calm under fire.

Personal Opinion
This battle will be incredibly close in my opinion as while the DEA Agents are proven to be superior to the Daxinghai contractors in X-Factors, Karen Low has superior X-Factors to Max Payne and when it comes down to weapons the Vektor R5 has more rounds in it making it the superior assasult rifle to the LWRC M6A2 but the Sig Sauer GSR has less bullets to spare than the Taurus PT-92 but packs more of a punch. The Baseball Bat can cause a lot of trauma but the Bayonet easily packs more lethality. In the end I believe Karen will barely come out on top due to her military background and superior x-factors.

The Scenario
The Tashinhai Consu has recently set up an base of operations within New York and has sent Karen Low along with 4 Daxinghai Contractors to defend it until Chan arrives. Meanwhile Max has been assigned along with 4 DEA Agents to neutralise the Tashinghai Consu's base of operations and stop this criminal organisation.
