Hell Guards too tough...

[48 YEARS OLD VIRGIN]

Can't beat the 3 Hellguards even on Easy (I suck) and cheat codes no longer work. How do you get past them? I know how to shoot the orbs to stun them. I know how to dodge. I use homing rockets and the ray gun. They are simply too tough for me. Help? This game went from awesome to awful in 10 seconds. This fight is BS.

Hell guard? Take GC and Rich get richer!

Gauss cannon siege mode and Chaingun w/ mobile turret. Shoot at them when they're in the green orb phase, this will stun them, then switch to one of the two guns I've mentioned and hit them hard. It's mostly a dodging boss fight. When the two of them come, focus on one while avoiding the other and you should be good. Lots of jumping and air movement.

And like the user above me mentioned, use runes that will give you the edge, rich get richer, saving throw and the third one can be anything, maybe vacuum as you'll get ammo drops easier.

I recommend using Equipment Power + Siphon Grenades. This combination can help keep your health and armor at a good level, and on easy it's nearly impossible for them to kill you faster than you can heal.

The higher the difficulty, the higher their damage output. Make sure you use correct difficulty settings, shoot them until they die and rip and tear, until it is done ;)

It may work out to save ALL of your BFG shots for second phase. First phase is not so risky, just evade and counterattack.
Second phase is too chaotic for trying to evade all of their attacks, they WILL hit you with fire/melee/etc, so BFG the hell out of them, then follow up with Chaingun spam or Gauss/Rocket/SSG quickswitch. If you manage to concentrate your damage on one of them and land most of your shots, one of them will stagger after 2 (or 3) cycles. You are able to take down the last one without BFG if you are 1on1 with it.

Use revenant Runes (if you have), like: Vacuum for drops, Rich Get Richer for infinite ammo and Saving Throw if you want a chance to survive a death blow.
Worked on Nightmare, should work on Hurt Me Plenty (or Too Young To Die) also.

A tip I have is focus on the ranged one first. Try to keep away from the close ranged one and get up close to the ranged one and go ham with super shotty and gauss cannon. After that, just keep your distance from the close range one and you should come out on top.

Thanks everyone! With your help I managed to beat it. It was a very unpleasant boss fight.

Just wait until you encounter the Spider Mastermind... :)

If you had trouble with the Hell Guards on Easy, I hope for your sake you don't try DOOM Eternal.

Marauders and Archviles one-up the difficulty temporarily, so if you started on too young to die -> hurt me plenty
uv -> nightmare etc :)

After a few campaigns of both games on Nightmare, I think 2016 is harder as long as you aren't abusing insta-siege.

Use BFG and Super Shotgun

[1v4n94]

No runes, no BFG ammo, no maxed out super shotgun. Extremely hard for me, and no Rich gets richer either. Every time I try, they kill me. Don't know what to do. IMO this fight is broken. Nevermind, I just enabled finish move highlight and realised I had to perform a melee kill instead of just shooting the basterds.

SSG -> DKSMS during the phase 1 vulnerability
BFG -> Siege Mode Spam since you can hit both at once and ♥♥♥♥ on them

honestly pretty trivial boss.

just use Rich Get Richer and abuse DKSMS or holo swap; if you're not going to use tech Lock On Burst will ♥♥♥♥ on phase 1 and then just siege mode them simultaneously using BFG to set it up.

honestly probably the easiest boss to kill without taking a hit.

D16 was my first FPS and it took me weeks to finish campaign through the first time, on easy. I was also learning to play with keyboard and mouse
You must be crap like me, i am guessing you are standing still and unloading in general direction of enemy.
Sage(Rarity) is right, spider mastermind will stop you if you haven't learnt to watch and dodge.
hey, mabye i should try that 'watch and dodge' idea in MP.

lmao no
one squishy enemy does not have the same effect as the damage multiplier for NM.
