Marauders are the WORST enemy type

[OneHellofaDragon]

I hate them they are stupid and annoying to play against with almost no counter play as you'll run out of ammo on your good weapons to counter his swings and theres never enough easy mobs to get health back when fighting these guys ♥♥♥♥ them

I use the super shotgun, that seems to work best. If you hit them as they're about to hit (eyes glow green, but you might have to time it before they start glowing. At least on Nightmare) you can get in 2 hits. You can also chain them when they have the shield up to burn them, but I think that's just a visual bug as they don't seem to drop any armour when that happens.

Overall they are indeed one of the most difficult opponents.

i never had any problem with him. his attacks are predicable and the fact that the game gives a fat indication when he attacks makes it really easy. just my opinion tho, i know that the experience differs from person to person. :)

They're also the worst in MP. Just spam dogs and axes in your face while taking half damage.

When he does the green ones yeah but this guy dashes around constantly and his stupid wolf is so annoying. Even timing with the super shotgun i run out of shells and life constantly. If you think he's easy you must be playing on i'm too young to die tbh XD. He does stupid damage for such a mobile and anoying enemy

[Flytrap]

Agreed. Whoever came up with them should be castrated

In all fairness i just had to let out the frustrations of fighting these ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. When they stay in axe swing mode and dont dance around using shotgun and axe throw even when they are in the correct range they are super annoying.

They're not fun to fight at all. I enjoyed everything about this Campaign except for the marauders. Even after pinning down the best way to take them out, they still broke the flow of the game everytime I met one. There's only a couple weapons that are effective against them, and you absolutely have to stand at a certain range and just wait for his eyes to flash, shoot, repeat. In a game with such a huge sandbox that grants the player a wide variety of ways to solve every encounter however they like, running into a "between the lines" type enemy like that feels too weird.

the attacks are predictable my ass, the most I can predict is that he's going to have is shield up and send is trash dog 90% of the time and knocks me out of getting a shot on him when he's vulnerable, sure, then its predictable

Shoot sticky bombs at his feet or in front of him not at him he won't block because you didn't shoot him but he's still damaged by the explosion

Why do people say they hate something just because it's difficult? Isn't that what it's all about? I get the feeling most people hate games just because they die a lot.

his shotgun is bs tho, as its not really clear when he will actually use it. i had it happen when i was not even close to him. i find his movement kinda weird as well. and the fact that you cant get him off guard or have the chance to get him from behind and only fight him by his rules kinda breaks the flow for me. i just keep them for last and deal with them then

[Mr. No_Effs_Given]

The ♥♥♥♥ took me two lifes (playing on UV). Hes hard, and that hound is annoying. I lost the count of how many ss blasts took to take him down. For a second i thought the game was bugged, lol.

Ooooh, that's a great way to damage him. Could you do the same thing with the rocket launcher?

you can but your more likely to kill yourself and its harder because if you aim at him he blocks and if you shoot at his feet he moves if you use the sticky bombs aim in the direction hes going but not at him

For me, they're pretty unpredictable. Fights against marauders are either hit or miss; you could have a blast and do some nice weapon combos and finish the fight in 30 seconds or less, or it'll take forever, and leave you open to other demons and get you killed. Either way, they're pretty hard to deal with, but not impossible. At least that's how i see it.
