Choosing a higher difficulty level will make enemies have more damage and health. Looking for the best options to kill an enemy will become necessary to survive.
You will see less ammo, health drops, and injectors throughout your playthrough when you start playing on more difficult game modes, specifically on Maximum Security and Contagion. You will need to search every room and corpse to get resources and manage them better to increase your chances of survival.
Minimum Security difficulty is for players who only have a few or no experience with FPS horror games and only want to play the game casually and enjoy the story. More items will spawn on this difficulty, and enemies are easy to deal with as well.
Medium Security difficulty is best for players who want to play the game with just the right amount of combat difficulty. It offers an average amount of items and items that drop from enemies. Enemies also have regular health and damage, but still enough to take you out if you're careless.
For players who want to experience a more hellish, unforgiving difficulty, Maximum Security is the right one for you. Enemies can easily take you out when they get a chance, and they will have more health on this difficulty. You will also have to manage your resources carefully, as there will only be limited items in your playthrough on this difficulty.
Contagion is the most difficult out of all the game difficulties in the game. Players who want to experience a realistic playthrough should go with this difficulty. It offers reduced item drops, including ammo and health drops, and a permanent death feature that won't allow you to continue where you left off when you die. It means you'll have to start all over again if you die.
Note that Contagion is a game difficulty only available for players who purchase the Season Pass. You can buy it to try the hardest game mode of The Callisto Protocol!

Since Minimum Security Difficulty is not that hard, you can turn off most of the combat assistance settings and still be able to get far from the game without dying. But if it still proves hard for you to progress, you can always set them back on through the Options menu.

Maximum Security is currently the hardest difficulty available in the game. Combat will become more problematic on this difficulty, so you should set all the combat assistance settings to help you get by in the game!
Although if you want some more challenges, you can always turn them off and feel the realism better in the game.
