Ukala Workshop Mauler: Difference between revisions

When facing an enemy armed with a Mauler, the best tactic is to stay back and take him out from a distance. As with the [[Shotgun]], [[Energy Sword]], or [[Gravity Hammer]], the weapon is virtually useless at longer distances since both the Shotgun and Mauler's ammunition scatters at distances. The official [[Halo 3]] strategy guide states that, "Firing the Mauler at an enemy from anything other than extreme close range is akin to insulting his mother: it's all just hot air and noise and is only going to make him mad".<ref>Halo 3 Strategy Guide</ref> It is inadvisable to get too close unless you have a devastating close-range weapon of your own (however beware that on [[Legendary]], a Brute can kill you with one shot if you're close enough). You can snipe the user but it would be harder to tell if they have a Mauler holstered as it is kept on the thigh. Also, use weapons like the [[BR55HB SR Battle Rifle|Battle Rifle]] or the [[Type-51 Carbine|Carbine]] due to its range. Using the sword is sometimes dangerous because if the person with the Mauler fires twice when you are lunging at just the right time, you usually die and your would-be victim will get a [[Bulltrue]] medal.
