Guard: Difference between revisions

Line 16:

When a [[Guard]] is equipped with a shield, it is a matter of waiting for it to begin firing and exposing itself, or getting around. To do this, it's easy enough to simply run up to the [[Guard]] and jump over their heads, rolling so your gun points at the top of the head or their back. This shot is usually fatal, once again a weaker gun may not prove enough. Occasionally, aiming at a shielded [[Guard]] will let you fire into the top of their head poking out. It should be noted that the run, jump, roll strategy will work even when they don't have a shield, and may be handy to avoid fire.

Of course, shooting a [[Guard]] from the back is highly advised as this will do much more damage. [[Spawner|Spawners]] can sometimes be hidden behind, causing each [[Guard]] that spawns to be oriented correctly for a back shot. Some players may view this option as cheap, but the results are too good to ignore. Explosives of any type will destroy a [[Guard]] in one hit, even when fully armoured (minus a [[~~Sheild~~ Belt]]), and if a group is clustered together you can perform multiple kills with the one shot.

A '''Guard's''' shot can easily be redirected back at it with a roll, as they aren't particularly mobile nor are able to roll themselves. This is not advised when facing a [[Guard]] with a [[Slugger Shotgun]] or the Missile Launcher, though a rocket may be punched back. Always be wary when doing so.
