MAULER


A Boomer-sized Locus, the Mauler is as large, aggressive, and comparatively fast-moving Locust shock trooper.

Maulers are armed with the flail that explodes on impact and knocks you off your feet. They also carry a Boomshield that can soak up frontal fire. Maulers can be a serious pain to exterminate.

To down a Mauler, wait for it to lower its shield, and then hit it with a strong, single-shot weaponry. You can use Grenades, the Longshot, Boomshot, a Shotgun, or even a Boltok in a pinch. Rapid-fire weaponry tends to be somewhat effective, as the Mauler can keep its shield raised, blocking much of your damage output.

If you need to slow down a Mauler, but can't deal with it immediately, fire at it to force it to raise its shield. This slows it down for a few seconds while it guards itself.

Whatever you do, don't let a Mauler get close to you. Its flail is short range only, but it is lethal up close. Even if the explosion doesn't kill you, getting knocked down on your butt with other Locust nearby can certainly ruin your day.

On the bright side, killing a Mauler leaves a lovely reward in the form of the powerful Boomshield.

COVER

Maulers ignore cover, but they are serious threat to you behind cover. Once they're up close, cover will not help you.

Try to take them out before they can force you to break from cover and possibly expose yourself to other nearby Locust.
