The Maurader is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stupid and I hate him

[TinfoilDurag]

Completely breaks the flow of the game.
Immune to everything for no reason
Requires 2 specific weapons to beat ( hope you knew he was gonna show up and have ammo )
They don't even do you the courtesy of some type sound queue when he spawns in so most of the time you just get shotgunned in the back and die

Not sure what they were thinking with this guy

Have you ever once considered that someone can have an opinion outside of yours and they're not just trying to incite your rage?

The marauder is literally nothing. He's just a fly that does a bad job of avoiding you swatting him.

The marauder is just a lazy game design. Couldn't think of anything new so just put in another boring enemy you can only shoot at certain time.

Dance dance baby!

The guy is confusing for new players. As soon as you figure out how it works, he isn't a challenge unless accompanied by other heavies, that's what they do in the MLs.

Always keep your distance. Tutorial says medium range but ignore that. Just let him come until he attacks (green flashing eyes). Shoot him with a ballista, that stuns him and gives you time to switch to your ssg and then back to the ballista (you have set up keybinds that help you switch weapons quickly, right? You threw the weapon wheel off the keyboard, right? If not, do that). Throw a grenade in too after your first shot. This is not the only possible combo, but a good one to start with. Then immediately gain distance again and let him come again. Repeat until one of you is dead, ideally him, which will work out after some practice. Don't attack him when he is not attacking. It will bring up his shield and spawn his dog.

He's not immune to everything, you just have to know when to attack and with what. Never open with continously firing guns like micro missiles, plasma rifle, chain gun, assault rifle base fire. Always a one shot high impact weapon. After the stun it is possible to use things like lock on or full auto, if you time your grenade throw well. But for starters, stick with the combo mentioned above.

Don't let initial frustration fool you into false judgement. He isn't bad design, he doesn't break the flow of combat. You're just not good at kiling him yet.

You can also stun him with SSG, switch to a BFG and instantly kill him with a direct hit.

Just because you're bad at fighting him dosn't make him a bad enemy.

Just because I am very good at the game doesnt mean the game is good.

You don't even own the game & have clearly never played it so.

dont feed the troll please

I also think it is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ enemy.
It is the same problem with some of the new dlc enemies or new version of enemies. The game gives you a lot of cool different weapons but it forces you for certain enemy types to use exactly the weapons they intended you to use. And yes I think this is bad in a Doom game (ofc we can at this point discuss if it is a Doom game at all).

Those enemies are not hard once you figure out what to do. They are just boring because the game interrupts the free flow combat and tells you "please do exactly A, B and C, now. Thank you for your cooperation".
