Minigun guy impossible

[Rücklicht]

Hi,

so I´m in front of this minigun brute and don´t know how to counter. Cape attack doesn´t work and there is no counter button. HELP!

[mhenry_101381]

stun with cape, start beatdown, counter as usual right before he swings his gun, repeat beatdown and counter x3. He will fold faster than Superman on laundry day.

As soon as you get into close quarters with him usually he starts swinging his gun at me and there are prompts to press counter 3-4 times and then Batman will finish him.

Yep, the key thing is to make sure you engage him in close quarters. If he has some range from you, he'll just cut you pieces with that chaingun.

You don't even need to engage the Brute Minigunners.

If this is at Pannesa Studios B, you can perform Dual Takedowns with Robin from behind them. Also, in Panessa Studio C you can use the Voice Synthesizer to lure the lone minigunner to an explodable wall.

On a Watchtower on Bleake Island (Kord Industries rooftop) you can compromise the drone and incapacitate the Minigunner and others. Same thing as at the patio of Oracle's Clock Tower.

On a Miagani Island Watchtower (Harold's Auto Repair rooftop) you can perform a Fear Takedown on both the Jammer guy and gumnan on roof opposite, allow a Mine Layer to deploy a mine, lure the minigunner to the mine with the Voice Synthesizer and detonate the mine with the Disruptor.

On a Founder's Island Watchtower (Arkham Knight HQ-CityVision, mid-level exterior) there are 2 Medics, 2 Optic Camo Guys, and 4 Brute Minigunners. You can take out one or more Brutes with Exploding walls or by blowing the generator with the Remote Hacking Device and Voice Synthesizer lure, and use an Environment Takedown on the last.

Remember, these are predator scenarios, requiring stealth. Don't allow yourself to be seen.

Only if you get careless, or don't adequately plan ahead.

I fired the disruptor at the guy and started beating him without the cape stun, archieved about 70X until he got his gatling gun back to work LOL

So many answers about counter but no one mentions how you counter or what the button is. I found it out myself: you have to hold left mouse button instead of just clicking it right when the brute wants to attack you (blue signs above him).

You must have changed your button configuration or something.

You beat him up by repeatedly pressing the LMB and when you see the prompt for counter, press RMB once. You have to repeat this 4 times and the 4th time Batman knocks him out.

no, there are a couple of misisons you have to clear EVERYONE, like the Wayne tower outside

and that includes 2 minis

[acecrisp]

counter move shows on screen

How did you get that far without using counter before now?

Acecrisp, there are 2 Brutes at the Wayne Plaza skirmish, not 2 minigunners. However, and I'm being sarcastic here, it is entirely possible that those "mysterious" minigunners haven't spawned for me in all the hours I've played thus far. When you get time, could you post a wide external screenshot of the area you referenced outside Wayne Tower? I ask because with the exceptions of those locations I listed above with strategy suggestions, I honestly can't place the area you're talking about with the 2 minigunners that absolutely have to be physically engaged. Just wondering if there's an area in which some NPCs are not spawning reliably for me, possible mission bug or game bug.

You've got me curious. Is this on a Watchtower, a Militia Checkpoint, or a Fireman side mission? Also, outside Wayne Tower on Miagani Island or Wayne Plaza on Founder's Island? We're talking about brutes with miniguns, not unarmed brutes in combat scenarios.

Thanks in advance.
