Easiest way to kill the Marauder

[Phoenix]

I've tried a lot of various ways, some more effective than others, but this is the easiest way so far.

1) Ready the BFG.
2) Wait for him to get reasonably close.
3) Lob an ice bomb in a high arc over his head so it doesn't hit anything. He will turn his back to you for as long as the ice bomb is in the air.
4) Immediately shoot him in the ass with the BFG at near point blank range
5) Profit.

This will one-shot the Marauder, and it's great for that secret encounter on Taras Nabad.

You also can kill him with 2 lock on bursts while he is holding a shiled

Does it actually work? I tried, but he didn't die even after 3 locks.

It works, it’s a bit tricky to pull off though. Check out byteme on YouTube, he’s pulled it off a bunch of times in his streams

Yeah it works, you just need to time it well. But two full lock on bursts, so 6 rockets, will gib the marauder. From my own experience, the timing is the toughest part.

My favorite is to shoot remote detonation rocket launcher from the distance to the other side of Marauder, not direct hit, and then the blast shakes him a little bit. Then immediately after remote detonation change Ballista and shoot with that a direct hit. You have to do that 4-5 times and then glory kill. Long distance is good since you can avoid projectiles easily that he is shooting. If he shoots the animal then kill it with supershotgun. Close distance is harder with supershotgun since the distance has to be accurate.

I find myself once too often angered to the point by summoned wolves that I just carelessly spam rockets and run out of them and the Marauder is still alive. Mostly when he spawns with effing Mecha Zombies and THEY friendly fire his shield then he summons wolves at me, not at the Mecha Zombies. It has driven me to a point that I sometimes, against better judgement, obliterate ALL fodder in the vicinity and then deal with Marauder on low ammo, waiting for only one fodder to spawn... :)

Kinda been wondering, can the marauder slash through the chaingun shield mod? Because if not, it would be nice for a fallback (IE you ran out of ammo for everything else).

Shield vs shield, feed him his own medicine... it may be a good idea. Though the Argent Axe may penetrate the Chaingun Shield.

No it won't but you can't do much too.

Slapping them with the SSG and switching to the Unmaykr makes short work of them. Also feel like it wastes less ammo than the BFG. Granted you get the Unmaykr fairly late in the game, so this may just be a moot strat. But it's a fun way to deal with them I feel.

[UNBREAKABLE]

BFG is a waste, just SSG and Ballsita combo him and he’ll die in 2 cycles.

UPDATE: After Update No. 2, this technique no longer works. The Marauder won't shield himself from the ice nade anymore.

[BloodShed]

Super Shotgun to stagger then follow up with the Unmaykr.

Has the potential to kill the Marauder in the first stagger if you're close enough with the Unmaykr (so all shots hit).
