Marauder ruins the game

[Larry the Cacodemon]

His high speed coupled with the fact you can only attack him during a highly specific moment in time (made extremely hard to keep an eye on since you are also under attack by other demons) makes him completely out of place among the rest of Eternal's monster roaster. He completely ♥♥♥♥♥ up the pacing and balance. Every single time I see him I groan and briefly lower the difficulty to the lowest mode just so that I can kill him faster and then move on with the damn game. The Doom hunter is ok to fight, but this marauder character is just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

If it helps, you can stagger the Marauder using grenades and the remote detonation mod for the rocket launcher, leaving him open for an attack.

But yeah, he's a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ terrible enemy that isn't fun to fight. He's not hard when you know what he does, he's just incredibly annoying.

Take the ballista, as soon as his eyes get green shoot at him and immediately switch to the super shotgun and hit him again. On ultra violence you need to do this 4-5 times more or less and you're done. Use the lower demons to refill health/ammo.

EDIT: Of course you need to unlock the perk to swap guns faster.

Just kite him to a ledge an wen he jumps up/down, use BFG bb Mar :D

High speed?
He's actually really slow. Just wait for him to come to you.

[kigraa]

ultra violence = 5 balista and hes dead.

[PycassoClaudiu]

I agree. But for different reasons. I figured out how to beat him with ease on nightmare. He has a very linear pattern of fighting and I don't like it.
When fighting him stay calm, kill other thread if there is one, stay away form the zombies and let wait for him to flash green. Than super shotgun in his face. If you have the dexterity or skill you can combo with even more weapons.

Come on man, that's not very nice.

Ignore the highly specific moment. Just launch rockets and grenades from range.

Does that even kill him?

Eventually, yes. Specifically people usually mean tickling their butt with splash damage for maximum safety though. A win is a win, baby!

Unless you're in the timed secret fight. Then you want to go back to quickswap spam and maybe even the "Stun into feeding them the BFG"

On that note, don't bother using the Unmaker on the Maurader at any time. I've watched the marauder die when I shotgun them then feed them the BFG... and then later, watched them pull out their shield in the middle of being shredded by the Unmaker.

So much for "But the Unmaker is better than the BFG against single targets!"

That's how I fight him now. It takes some time, but i feel like it goes along with my flow more by racing around the arena instead of waiting for specific windows to attack.

I learned a few things during the timed encounter. He can only block in one direction at a time. He can't block when he's staggering. And he can't block while he's attacking. And sometimes, if he's far away, he doesn't seem to remember to block sometimes. And even if he does block, splash damage around the shield works.

edit: this obviously won't work during the time encounter of course.

[Low-Key]

Just do a figure 8 evasive movement so he cant hit you and super shotgun him when he flashes green.

[Awesomesauce]

If he's far away from you, hit him with remote detonation rocket AOE. Once the flow of the fight allows you some one on one time with him, wait for the flash, then Supershotgun -> Ballista -> Supershotgun. Repeat until dead.

well because of limited ammo good luck, the gameplay mechanic sucks gj new doom team not buying the game next time, doom 2016 was great. i own the game on beth.

if you have problems with ammo, you didnt know how to play this game.
nightmare or ultra nightmare never ever had problems with ammo
you can make yourself infinit ammo btw..... everywhere...... anytime...... and armor aswell........

[MangoMan]

he tends to alternate between ranged slash attack and green-eyes vulnerable melee attempt. just dodge slash, wait for green eyes, hit with ballista, repeat. you can throw in some more attacks too to quicken it up.
