Not enough ammo to beat Comm. Officer?

[VeilStrider]

I already placed +20% pow into my Shotgun. I collected all ammo scattered the room (in the boss area) but still not enough even with my handgun combined.

So many BOWs lurking around. I wasted some of my ammo to kill them. Maybe I should ignore?

Not sure how you ran out of ammo, and not kill Comm. Officer. But when out of ammo, turn to your other buddy (sub-weapon). Learn to use your environment as well (windows, drop downs, tables) to your advantage.

Is that the 1st scagdead? I think i took him down with the sniper rifle (from a safe distance). Clear any oozes first and then you can toy around with him at ease. Hit him hard in that small head he has, you'll do more critical damage

If you dont have the sniper rifle go pick it up. Not sure if you can go back, load an older save if you cant

Thanks. The problem is the BOWs running around. Whenever I kill one they spawn another one.

Ragequit. >_>

Unfortunately I don't have Sniper Rifle. I only have Shotgun (around 25 bullets) and Handgun (around 50 bullets).

Use the Genesis device and scan the area before the bossfight. Even in Infernal i had more ammo i could carry. for the bossfight: Try to ignore minions, they keep spawning till the comm. officer is dead. Try to shoot the red barrels while he is standing next to them. I think there are 3 of them in the area. That should be enough for over the half of his HP. then try no hit the smaller head for criticals. But you just have to pump a lot of lead in him. It is a bit stupid you dont see a health bar, but he is beatable, you just need enough ammo (and you get it with Genesis)

In one of the guides I found on gamesfaq, it suggestts that when you blow up one of the gas canisters near him, he is stunned, at that point you need to run up to him, charge up your melee attack and hit him, then run away and do the same thing over and over until you run out of gas canisters.... Then use any and all remaining grenades on him... The other adds, I found it was just better to ignore them if possible and finish off the comms-officer (scagdead). I didn't melee him I just let loose on the gas canisters and grenades, although this did literally leave me with no ammo left aside my sniper rifle

Easiest way to beat the Comm Officer in the Promenade region without using ammo is: Use the window next to the door where he comes out of. Kill any adds until he is left. Then use the window to jump in and out. He will walk the long way around to get to you. But you can use melee attacks through the window and he doesn't. So when he comes after you, jump through the window just a few seconds before he reaches you, use melee attacks 3 to 5 times. Let him run the long way around to get back to you and jump out through to the other side. Rinse and repeat.

As Paladinwpn says above, for this fight, jumping back and forth through that window is your friend.

You'll have to kill off the minions every so often (they _can_ climb through the windows) but they keep coming until the Scagdead boss is killed, so try not to get too tied up fighting them.

Keep jumping through that window between the room where the Scagdead comms officer first appears, and the little balcony beyond. The Scagdead can't hurt you through the window, but you can hurt him.

Also, the Scagdead's human head, and the floppy flesh beneath the head's neck, are the Scagdead's weakest points -- try to target here whenever you can.

Good luck!

The knife can be used once you learn his attack moves.
Just watch out for the other oozes.

Though its safer to shoot him of course.

You´ll be in constant trouble if you stand still near those air vents, the ooze come out of them...the strategy I adopted for the Scagdead was:

Opened the lock with a handgun shot through the window (from outside of the house) and, when it came out, blasted as many shotgun shells as possible to the scag´s smaller head;

After that, I lured it through that upper corridor, then left, down those wooden stairs (from where I blew the gas cylinder and would eventually fire some handgun at the scag), then run back to that entrance corridor, beside the door to the room where Scagdead was locked, since there are no ooze coming from behind. From there, you can use the sniper rifle at will as it tries to come closer to you. When the scag is near you enter the room, jump off the window and repeat the process...took me 3 to 4 times doing this to kill it on normal mode...

Key to defeat the Scagdead nice and easy is 1: the M40A1 Snper Rifle and 2 the Stunlock.

i have a highlight on my channel that shows how to defeat him in a few shots, although these strats are not that easy to pull off even i f you hit him only 2 or 3 times you have done enough damage.

You can also watch the Scagdead Training Video if you need help to where to get the gun in the first place or the exact spots to stand and where to aim to kill him easy, it should provide some useful information for you. Or you watch one of my Speedruns, but ther are runs where i couldn't pull the strats off :D
