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 was 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 was inadvisable to get too close unless you had 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 holsterd 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.
