An enemy with only a single way to be killed is bad design

True. Yet everyone has a different approach to big-scale combats. I like to use the microwave gadget to quickly kill the Barons or Tyrants for instance.
More on so OP stops seething. The Super Shotgun looks like the best option because it's a one hit/heavy damage weapon, seemingly appropriate for a small trigger timeframe, but using the regular shotgun to cheaply get rid of the wolves and stun-locking the Marauder to interrupt its fast moveset proves to be more efficient.

>only a single way to be killed
objectively wrong you brainlet

its a meme. The enemy has small vulnerability windows you have to take advantage of to stagger him to extend the vulnerability window to kill him in any decent amount of time

It's a meme, you can either wait for him to be vulnerable or hit him at any time with splash damage

>An enemy with only a single way to be killed is bad design
like 'shoot at it until it dies'?

Yes.

Wrong

>Marauder is tedious, though, not difficult.
Filtered, bet you haven't even beat the game

You retards complained so much that the peiople at id made the dlc hard just to spite you. Now next time they are making a marauder with the fucking blue spirits in them. Thanks.

He should’ve just fought like the player

I can't take anyone that goes on about "good/bad design" seriously. It sounds like a committee trying to figure out how to make the safest and most sterile product imaginable.

Nothing with an "lol I'm invincible 90% of the time" gimmick has ever been good in any game, prove me wrong

every enemy in the game has a 'shoot the weak spot' design

Holy fucking shit, how come most you guys are total fucknig shitters, how on earth can you find this enemy ''difficult''? His eyes literally glow green when he is about to attack you, this bitch is extra weak to shotgun and ballista combo and he dies in seconds if you use that strategy. keep complaining you fucknig low IQ shitter faggot

pinkys are basically that, if you shoot its face youre wasting your time, just just shoot it in the ass after it charges.
i guess retards arent complaining about that because they dont deal as much damage

Why do people keep thinking "this guy sucks and is a waste of time" means "this guy is too hard and i can't beat him"

giga-marauder was a fun fight

>prove me wrong
marauder exists

Impossible, there are too many fighting styles for an algorithm to sort them out. Shoutout to , there are a lot of ways to go through a battle.
Calm down, adults are speaking. We get the problem.
Please explain the ballista thing. I'd rather woosh around with my grenade launcher and take my time to kill it safely rather than one-shoot his ass.

>An enemy with only a single way to be killed is bad design
He has a few ways to take him down but that's not his issue. He's just incredibly overstated.
>back off and bait big red axe projectile
>always follows up with a "green lighting" charge attack
>do weapon switching if you want, not needed; just keeping baiting his axe>charge
If there's enemies around him, it's likely going to be fodder you can just heavy rifle/etc. for easy glory kill health.
That's all there is to it.

Enemies around are always zombies to use the chainsaw on. Don't kill them but keep them alive. The Marauder takes quite a lot of ammo to kill.

ballista/SS nearly grantee a stagger, weapon swap to hit him with both of them a few times. Throw in a grenade and you can hit him a few more times

>Don't kill them but keep them alive
They'll keep respawning, it's fine

God damn the DLC was intense. I wonder how far they'll push the gameplay in part 2

I don't hate him, but I'm not too thrilled with how they handled his AI. Aside from that the base game is amazing and probably the best fps of this console generation at least. Also I discovered you can instantly stagger a Pain Elemental by shooting a lost soul back into his mouth.

Okay I see it now: stagger then quick switch. Clever because I found the regular shotgun to be a bit weak and taking too much time. Thanks. It's actually far easier than using the Super Shotgun, this one just drains ammo like fuck, I only use this one in platform-heavy areas.
Sometimes a couple of seconds is enough to loose a life. Since you dash around so much with the Marauder it's better just not to aim at them.

>That slayer gate in the DLC where you have to fight a marauder while makyrs keep spawning around you
I ate shit a bunch until I realised that the makyrs basically let you have infinite ammo if you can reliably head shot them, and the ballista does both that and staggers the marauder. Felt good figuring it out
