− | '''Shamblers''' are truly a force to be feared. They have an immense amount of health, and take only half damage from explosions. His pride and joy is his lightning attack, and for good reason: it never misses! Unless you can duck behind cover or retreat beyond the range of the attack, you'll be hit for considerable damage. However, the Shambler's weakness could be his proclivity to use his bare hands when he can. As long as you're within melee range, he will eschew his ranged attack for a good claw swipe or two. So if cover is not available or you're feeling particularly daring, you can run up and initiate his melee attack, then quickly step back to fire shots at him while he is swinging his arms through the air in which you stood a moment before. Then, run back forward before he begins another attack, or he will choose the lightning bolt. Repeat until one of you is dead. | + | '''Tips:''' Truly a force to be feared. Shamblers have an immense amount of health, and take only half damage from [[Grenade Launcher|Grenades]] and [[Rocket Launcher|Rockets]]. At close range, they use their monstrous claws. At a distance, they can launch an undodgable lightning bolt that you can't run away from. There are two main strategies to kill a Shambler. The easiest is to hide behind something when you see him about to cast a lightning bolt. The harder one, which you will have to use when you have no cover, is to run right up to it, so it tries to hit you with its claws, then back away and hit it while it is swinging its arms. Get close right away, or he'll use his lightning bolt. For weapons, you will want to use either the [[Super Nailgun]] or the [[Thunderbolt]]. If you have a [[Quad Damage]], you can use the [[Double-Barrelled Shotgun]] to gib the Shambler in three shots. |
