Strategy:Former captain
From DoomRL Wiki
Game Data | Strategy |
(version 0.9.9.4) Former captains are physically identical to their pistol- and shotgun-toting brethren, so they will go down quite quickly to any reasonable offense. However, they can do a fair bit of damage to you as well. They gain a very strong benefit from the accuracy bonuses of higher difficulties and Max Carnage mode, so use caution.
The easiest way to deal with early captains is a close-range shotgun blast around a corner. You can also use repeated blasts out of visual range. Gift-dropping armour or medpacks can lure them into a better position. Note that they will not use the chaingun at melee range, but you are welcome to do so yourself.
