Gladiator  (37/51)

 

 

Gladiators don’t appear in the game as often as above-mentioned enemies, but they can cause a lot of pain. Regardless of slow movement, they attack Kane with ease, using machine gun or Railgun. Gladiators are very tough (550 health points). Additionally, they posses energetic shield, protecting them against bullets from machine weapons.

The most important thing it not to leave Gladiators without bother. If you don’t attack them, they will easily deprive Kane of health points with Railgun. Try to make use of their slow movement and run as much as you can. Machine weapons are no use, when the enemy enables energetic shield. The best way to defeat them, is to attack with Grenade Launcher (hard to miss), Rocket Launcher or Railgun. Accurate shot in the Gladiator’s head will double hit damage – it’s worth trying after activating Railgun’s sight.

Even with their energy shield up you can still blast off thier railgun, leaving them pretty much helpless.

the rocket launcher is the best, specially after the upgrade, just wait till his shield is down then pump three rockets out on him

hey, crazy person, i'm willing to bet you can't take 5 of these things at once with a pistol. make a roman coliseum with the level editor, and then make pistols(or blasters, or whatever they're called)the only weapons, with 5 gladiators in there with you. hope you like getting your @22 kicked!

I find the grenade launcher effective for confined spaces and the nailgun to shoot at his feet and quickly change to the rocket launcher to finish him off. Machine guns are useless when he as that big old shield protecting him.

I find it much easier to defeat them by using the nail gun. It seems to me that they have weak protection against their own weaponry.

If you wanna have some good times with him, why not play around by hurting him bit by bit? HINT: his railgun can be destroyed. :P

Playing on Lieutenant now and I still find circling around him (within CQB-range) emptying my shotgun in him easy. Just don`t try it in confined spaces.
