Ice bomb marauder kill

[monke]

The marauder does NOT face the ice bomb with his shield anymore. Why would you remove that from the game, iD software? I tried on multiple levels, on 2 save slots and it does not work for me anymore. That is after the update.

It was an exploit that got fixed. We had a heads up about it for a while now from Hugo.

The ice bomb exploit is being fixed in an upcoming patch. The combos u are using are completely valid and an awesome display of skill. Your dominance over the Marauder is well deserved. The ice bomb strat is an exploit that is being removed as it’s not fun and wasn’t planned for.

From a mechanical standpoint it made no sense. He is already immune to the icebomb, so having him focus his shield on something that is no threat to leave an opening is silly.

What a shame, really. It saw another way to deal with the marauder. Trust me, i love fighting him using the combos, but sometimes i just want to finish the fight fast. And exploit or not we can't deny that was a high level strat.

Pressing a button and then spamming rockets on him from behind was not a high level strat, it was pretty cheap. There are faster ways to kill him still anyway if you got your combos down.

He is still facing the BFG tho. And yes, i know how the bfg works.

Combos are even more wack though. You're literally just pressing M1 + Q + M1 + Q + M1 for every green flash.

Not really, cuz you need to aim at the f***er. You need to time your shots. It takes a bit more skill.

I mean, if you're going to waste a BFG cell on a marauder then I think it's fine.

Again though, there's no situation I can think of where that isn't a huge waste of ammo.

I never use the BFG for him. Its a waste. I can beat his ass in matter of seconds by the standard procedure (combos). All im trying to say is, i want the ice bomb exploit back.

[Angry Harold]

i'm bummed about the nerf, but it was cheesy for sure. he's just more tedious now.

[Grampire]

I personally never used it. Just seemed like more effort than it was worth

Just passing by to add fuel to the fire: Marauder-chan is also more aggressive, and random now.

Too aggressive i think you can kill him really fast if you lucky, but i maybe need waste BFG on him in Mars core slayer gate, but that will make the 3 or 4? Hell knight like really hell lol.

LMAO its single player. Who cares about the damn 'exploit'. Devs create the monster...community cries he's too hard....community figures out ways to wreck him...devs patch it out. Does'nt affect me one bit, he's not hard......, I just like watching 100% speed runner's.
