Does anyone have any tip's for defeating Hoxie's personal guards?

xGO GATORSx · 04-05-2009, 07:02 PM

Just wondering if anyone has a strategy that works well? Thanks.

EDIT: Nevermind, just beat them. In case anyone else is having a problem with them what I did was grab the minigun on the ground in front of the shotgun and run to the back of the room and kind of hide in the alcove there and when they appear just blast them with the minigun. Once I did that it was pretty easy.

Another tip for this is get the mini gun shoot out all the lights and sneak when the gaurds are invisable you can find them holding the left trigger zooms and as you pass by them the site gets the circle so you can see them even when they are invisable, do this from one of the alcoves where you have a little cover and killing them is pretty easy . . .

I used the Minigun for probably 50 tries for a good 30 minutes. Basically tried everything with the Minigun.

I picked up the Shotgun, and went all gung-ho on their asses. toke them out in less then 30 seconds. I did it on hard too :/

I am stuck on this BS, got saved with 2 health bars on hard and cannot beat these two. I smoke the first one with the minigun quickly, then I EMPTIED three entire miniguns into the second and he did not die.

Do they not take damage when they are concealed?

Yes they do, use my tip above, if you can sneak behind them it does more damage or aiming for the head . . .

If you got there with plenty of health (like six bars) on Hard (I had to redo the checkpoint to get that since I had two bars and that was INSANE), grab the minigun while ducking to the right pillar. They should graze you but keep your six bars. Shoot out the chandelier. Shoot out the light on the left. Then the one on the right quickly.

This takes a bit of luck, but limp (slowly, ugh the minigun is slow) to the alcove. Then start scanning the area while hugging the back wall. Your reticle getting bigger means there is a cloaked guard in front of it. Fire away (while trying to avoid being mown down).

You should get one of them down easy doing this, then it takes a bit of time to get the second one down.

A little luck, but it's the cautious (if you can keep your health up) route.

I have just beaten the game after playing it through the 1st time (on 360) and i was stuck fighting these 2 for about 10-15 mins on Normal. After trying to stay hidden and i cover which didn't work for me i just picked up the Shotgun and ran straight at them shooting like a nutter .... stupid, but it worked a treat. Some of the thing's they've done to this game from the original are really crap!

i did the same thing you did. i thought to myself, "surely using a minigun from a distance is WAY more effective than running in close with a shot gun!" but the first time i picked up the shotgun just for shits and giggles i raped them and kept half my health.

playing on normal with 4 bars, just in case anyone wonders. So yeah, i'm sure 2 bars on hard is absolutly disgusting, but i think the shotgun is definitely the way to go.

If you're playing on Normal, you don't even really need to use strategy. Just keep strafing the room with the minigun and constantly firing. When you hit one of them, they lose their cloaking, then lay into them. After you "catch" one about three times, it will go down. If you start to lose any health, duck behind a pillar for a second until the block regenerates.

I played on hard. Minigun sucks (slow you down), the shotgun is your gun. Shoot out the three lights then kill them one by one at very close range. They won't be able to shoot you at very close range and takes 3-4 shotgun shots to take out one guard. As I remeber they are going in a circle after just 1 left.
