Marauder



"'You are nothing but a usurper - a false idol.' - The Marauder addresses the Doom Slayer."

The Marauders are a group of resurrected renegade Night Sentinels who sided with the Khan Maykr and the Hell Priests against the realm of Argent D'Nur.

They are enemies of the Doom Slayer in Doom Eternal.

History
During the Civil War in Sentinel Prime, the several disillusioned Night Sentinels defected to the side of Khan Maykr against the Loyalist Sentinels. After some of them fell in battle, they were resurrected and augmented with the fusion of Hell and Urdak technology to be served as shock troopers for Hell Legion.

They are now on the hunt to destroy the Doom Slayer.

Combat Characteristics
He is a defensive powerhouse, as the stats say. When the Doom Slayer is close to the Marauder, he will use his super shotgun. If the Doom Slayer is farther from the Marauder, he can throw his axe at the player or rush in at melee range. Attack when his eyes turn green, otherwise his axe will turn into a shield and block attacks. The Marauder's shield can block and deflect all attacks, the player must get behind or freeze him to counter the shield. The Marauder is able to summon "Hellhounds" that he can send to surround and lunge at the player with biting attacks.

Equipment

 * Argent Axe
 * Super Shotgun

Battle Mode
It has also been confirmed that the Marauder will be a playable monster in Doom Eternal's BATTLEMODE game type. Only few abilties and attacks are seen in the "What is Doom" Trailer.

Strategies
Maurauders are extremely tough mini-bosses due to their speed and argent shield along with their super shotguns that they use to dispatch the Doom Slayer if he get too close. The best strategy is to keep the distance and attack as much as possible in the long range.

Trivia

 * The Marauder bears some resemblance to Death Knight from the Quake games.
 * If one were to peer at his chest in the second Doom Eternal trailer, a series of dark purplish veins seem to eminate from where the red light on his chestpiece rests. It may imply that some parts of the armor - or at least, that particular piece - is fused to his very body.
