Hell's Armory: those darn arachnotrons

<< < (2/2)

GrimmC:
Arachnotrons have one of the worst melee attacks in the game. (Right on par with Imps.) So close to melee distance and fire away.

They also have -100% melee resistance (that is, they take double damage) so even a completely unskilled melee fighter can put on some major hurt with a knife or chainsaw.

This might not seem that handy, but the knife does comparable damage to a shotgun and the chainsaw does way more, with the added bonus of not knocking them back and letting them shoot you.

You forgot the worst part of it all - constant teleporting.

Even if you somehow manage to bring it down to low health, there's still a humongous chance that the bugga is going to teleport away.
And next time you'll see him, he'll hardly be scratched.
