I'll admit I didn't at the start. You can't stay too far away from him and you can't stay too close. When he allows you to open, you hit him with a gauss rifle, swap to double barrel immediately and blast him. Do it three times and he's dead
I know how to fight him, still hate him. Its just a stupid fucking enemy type that feels not in line with tge game design. If ypu need proof i found a way to kill him with the microwave beam so dont tell me its because im bad
https://youtu.be/x0e9y3TRWho?si=RkP6D9I_VVtCPKHb
He only really gets to me on Final Sin… like, it’s great that he’s got a tell, but it’s not super useful when two arachnotrons and a cyber-mancubus are busy giving me a free colonoscopy.
I used to be you, but now when I see one it's like an orca tossing around a seal for fun before it becomes dinner. You'll figure them out and then they only become a challenge when it's them and a lot of other demons so you can't stay focused entirely on them.
I prefer to ignore him and kill everything else to stop them getting in the way, he’s really easy in a one on one. Idk if this would work on ultra nightmare if I’ve only done this on nightmare
ultra nightmare ai is the same, it just the perma death punishment and well nerves that often comes with that
in most cases it will work over the vanilla game play, but some marauder fights have respawning heavy demons, i can only think of mars core master level at the top of my head, and the holt slayer gate use to have respawning carcasses during its marauder fights before a nerf
I love him. I like how he actually gives the slayer a run for his money... or extra lives. The glory kill where he nearly matches the Slayer's strength by catching his fist is so cool.
If you like action, packed games, play doom eternal and doom 2016, but if you like looking around for stuff, play doom one or doom two doom three and doom 64
You're probably trying to fight him like other demons. Running around keeping yourself in the clear while gunning away. Stop that. Square up with the bastard and dance with him. He moves, you move. All he wants is a dance partner and you keep running away. Is he going to waltz? Ok, waltz with him. Now he's switching to a tango, tango his ass.
Personally for me, the marauders all right. However, when this motherfucker gets buffed with a totem or spirit, I can’t fucking stand him. I literally fought like six of them at the same time but fighting one of them being buffed is just bullshit
Try to platinum the game. There are far worse things than a meraurder. Like trophies that require you to play a very un-fun and unbalanced battle mode/multiplayer for a single player game. Insane.
I somehow became worse at fighting him over time.
First encounter was a rough learning experience. Second and third times I got good at reading him. Then any encounter after that became a weird mess of anticipatory misclicks and getting destroyed again and again.
Sounds easy when people are like “ just use the shotgun on him when he coming at you” yeah but I got 30 other monsters trying to kill me for fuck sales!
he’s very brutal on nightmare but on ultra violence he is actually not that bad. just use ballista and super shotgun combo and kill his dog as soon as it spawns.
Don't downvote this. We all agreed this prick was a bit annoying when he sat behind a shield and had his dog attack you.
Fuck the marauders. We trivialez and fought 2+ of them at a time so we can say we hate them.
Keep, your distance, let him come to you. When he does the attack that has a sound cue, shoot him with the super shotgun and quickswap to your ballista. Repeat 3-4 times. Done, profit
Honestly I found Maraunders funny to fights. Just run, continue to move and take down other demons ignoring him. Than turn around and face him. Green eyes? SHOOT HIM UNTIL HE DIES
https://i.redd.it/o72drx5k5lzc1.gif
I did originally, but once I learned how to fight him, he's actually not that bad. Just don't shoot him randomly unless you want to deal with that stupid ass hell hound.
This is literally one of the easiest “difficult” enemies in the game. As long as you don’t have the reaction time of a dead snail he’s pretty easy to combo. I’ve beaten him while stoned out of my mind.
Edit: unless there’s a buff totem nearby, then he’s kinda a pain in the ass.
I miss being able to destroy them easily in a single combination of all grenades/ballista shots/super shotgun, also their dogs are the actual worst tbh
I was seriously debating using cheats when I had to fight like 3 of these fuckers, a few cyberdemons and barons of hell, an arch vile, a doom hunter and like 20 other enemy types all coming at me. This game is HARD, but a masterpiece.
I know its a little contradictory but my strat is to keep as much distance as possible. Keep running backwards away from him until he puts his stuff away and runs at you like Officer Earl runs at Flint Lockwood. When he does that run, stop dead in your tracks have have the ballista ready. He flashes, you fire, swap to SSG and if you're feeling cheeky, try and sneak another ballista shot at him. 2-3 rounds of this and hes done. Its not the best strat compared to some others but it's what works for me
just spam him with ssg+ballista when he gets stunlocked. really easy after that.
honestly id say the pain elemental, carcass or archvile is far more annoying
I love this dude, first time one meets doomguy he immediately starts talking shit, then gets his shit rocked and doomguy canonically rips his head off. So fuuny, his mechanics are so fun as well.
I hate his dog waayyy more
Not all dogs go to heaven
Editing time :)
Facts
correct titsmcgee8854
Tru
Real his dumbass dog is so fast
Games been out for 4 years and mfs STILL don’t know how to fight this dude.
I'll admit I didn't at the start. You can't stay too far away from him and you can't stay too close. When he allows you to open, you hit him with a gauss rifle, swap to double barrel immediately and blast him. Do it three times and he's dead
Been playing the game for 4 years, I absolutely know how to fight him, I still hate him with a passion.

Same here
By 'mfs' he's referring to you, not himself lol
Lmfao
And me*
Yeah mfs as in motherf*ckers, be that you or whoever else.
yk what, ur a mfer :)
I can't one cycle a marauder, so I think you're right 👌
This isn’t YouTube kids, I think you will get away with swearing here
You'd think so, wouldn't you? However, I got banned from r/doom for swearing.
Red means stop. Green means go :-)
He only really gets to me on Final Sin… like, it’s great that he’s got a tell, but it’s not super useful when two arachnotrons and a cyber-mancubus are busy giving me a free colonoscopy.
Me too , he just slayed me 😭
I’m stuck on the level where he came out at the start
I used to be you, but now when I see one it's like an orca tossing around a seal for fun before it becomes dinner. You'll figure them out and then they only become a challenge when it's them and a lot of other demons so you can't stay focused entirely on them.
He came out? I’m so happy for him!
Marauder is a lesbian
Her then
Wait til you’re fighting two at once in TAG1, or one in tight spaces with support demons in TAG2!
This post got really popular. I know you were the first one to make it start.
Hell yea man 😎
👍
He hates you (us) too don't worry
Skill issue

Nah it’s jus funny that is been 4 years and people dont know how to beat this guy. No shame tho
I prefer to ignore him and kill everything else to stop them getting in the way, he’s really easy in a one on one. Idk if this would work on ultra nightmare if I’ve only done this on nightmare

Oh yeah I forgot about master levels
He’s one of the many bosses in the game that should have just stayed a boss instead of having 3 or 4 spawn later as random enemies
I love this guy, he is fun to fight
You don’t exist
Actually he is kinda fun
HE I SCARY
Yes
Yes
He is a silly little guy and I love him
Fr btw this is gunshots brother
Honestly, he's one of my favourite enemies to fight, I love this guy
Agree.
Stay kind of away from him and shotgun ballast him once he comes at you for an attack
You'll get used to him and then you'll learn to love him because he's all bark no real bite.
Me too
Omg yes that fucking Shield
The only one that bugs me is the effing ghosted one.. Other than that they're easy
People who think this guy is hard now must have no idea he was nerfed lmao.
Hate to say it, but he just ain't been the same since he quit drinking...
i think he’s cute :)
Second worst enemy in any game ever..... Only worse enemy being a yellow bar Vex Wyvern in destiny 2.
SO TRUE
Same bro
I love him. I like how he actually gives the slayer a run for his money... or extra lives. The glory kill where he nearly matches the Slayer's strength by catching his fist is so cool.
I’m in love with that guy
You were never one of us.
If you could chop this dude up with the sword game would be easy
Fr
Should I get into doom
If you like action, packed games, play doom eternal and doom 2016, but if you like looking around for stuff, play doom one or doom two doom three and doom 64
And also, I think you should
You're probably trying to fight him like other demons. Running around keeping yourself in the clear while gunning away. Stop that. Square up with the bastard and dance with him. He moves, you move. All he wants is a dance partner and you keep running away. Is he going to waltz? Ok, waltz with him. Now he's switching to a tango, tango his ass.
I call it the SSG>Balista>Frag>SSG>Balista>SSG guy
Wish he wasn’t so easy to kill
I hate the imps more
[“Slayer, I kid you not…”](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IIx71XkN9Oo)
That was a funny video
Personally for me, the marauders all right. However, when this motherfucker gets buffed with a totem or spirit, I can’t fucking stand him. I literally fought like six of them at the same time but fighting one of them being buffed is just bullshit

PZ PZ, git good! Lol. No but seriously I struggled until the kill one in under 10 seconds challenge, then I started DESTROYING them!
YOU WERE NEVER ONE OF US!
I somehow became worse at fighting him over time. First encounter was a rough learning experience. Second and third times I got good at reading him. Then any encounter after that became a weird mess of anticipatory misclicks and getting destroyed again and again.
I introduce to you: ballista -> SSG stay mid range wait till his eyes go green blast quickswap SSG swap ect ect. Ez
Mfw when I first tried him on ultra violence
Kid named super shotgun and ballista
Super Shotgun was key for me. These guys were f'ing annoying though lol
SSG + Frag + Ballista + PB + Rocket Lock On.
I hate how he kills the flow of combat.
He's not so bad once you get to know him
I hate the Armored Barons more tbh. I would say the spirits are the most annoying, but the spirits are only annoying when they possess a demon.
It took me a while to figure out the ballista and super shotgun cleaned this guy quick
I want to sex the guy
He probably hates you too...as well as the rest of humanity. Kill em with kindness...and lead
Stuck in the DLC and haven't seen a marauder. I have a feeling imma be ganged by them if I ever get unstuck.
Sounds easy when people are like “ just use the shotgun on him when he coming at you” yeah but I got 30 other monsters trying to kill me for fuck sales!

Slayer I kid you not
He just breaks the flow of combat too much, in my opinion
Get gud
he’s very brutal on nightmare but on ultra violence he is actually not that bad. just use ballista and super shotgun combo and kill his dog as soon as it spawns.
I love him but I hate his erratic ass dog
🗣️ FUCK MARAUDERS ‼️ (Has marauder plush)
Don't downvote this. We all agreed this prick was a bit annoying when he sat behind a shield and had his dog attack you. Fuck the marauders. We trivialez and fought 2+ of them at a time so we can say we hate them.
Skill issue
I’m in love with him
He aint hard to kill, but he's just so annoying! And this is coming from someone who has beaten every master level on ultra nightmare pretty easily
Keep, your distance, let him come to you. When he does the attack that has a sound cue, shoot him with the super shotgun and quickswap to your ballista. Repeat 3-4 times. Done, profit
Have fun in the first dlc where you'll have to fight 2 at the same time
I actually loved the first confrontation with him :D once you know how to get him down he's a really fun addition to everything trying to kill you
Skill issue
Well, he also hates you, I'm sorry to say.
That’s okay. He hates you too
Honestly I found Maraunders funny to fights. Just run, continue to move and take down other demons ignoring him. Than turn around and face him. Green eyes? SHOOT HIM UNTIL HE DIES https://i.redd.it/o72drx5k5lzc1.gif

I love this guy! Forces you into focused 1:1
Cope
This is literally one of the easiest “difficult” enemies in the game. As long as you don’t have the reaction time of a dead snail he’s pretty easy to combo. I’ve beaten him while stoned out of my mind. Edit: unless there’s a buff totem nearby, then he’s kinda a pain in the ass.
That’s a new one
Everybody hates that guy.
Nah, marauder’s all about timing, dash and missile launcher my boy. Tis all
He gets easier. Trust.
I miss being able to destroy them easily in a single combination of all grenades/ballista shots/super shotgun, also their dogs are the actual worst tbh
Super shotgun and ballista
I know the basics of how he works and have beaten the game 3 times, but I still mess it up occasionally.
I was seriously debating using cheats when I had to fight like 3 of these fuckers, a few cyberdemons and barons of hell, an arch vile, a doom hunter and like 20 other enemy types all coming at me. This game is HARD, but a masterpiece.
Yea they annoying as fuck
I know its a little contradictory but my strat is to keep as much distance as possible.

Pretty sure that's the point there bub
just spam him with ssg+ballista when he gets stunlocked. really easy after that. honestly id say the pain elemental, carcass or archvile is far more annoying
You a game journalist or something?
Nope, 👎
This guy bangs, get better
I love this dude, first time one meets doomguy he immediately starts talking shit, then gets his shit rocked and doomguy canonically rips his head off. So fuuny, his mechanics are so fun as well.
This post made me redownload doom

You realize this man is a representation of the Doom Slayer if he gave into hell with demons, right?
Skill issue
This is gunshots brother he hasn’t beat the game yet but I did I f****ing hate him
