User blog:Willbachbakal/Singleplayer Enemies: Rumbler



The Rumbler is the newest addition to the Big Daddy roster, and has a completely unique combat style. However, even in Elite form he doesn't change one bit over the course of the game. To change this, one could borrow from his old model, the Slow Pro...

Changes
Nothing much at the start. Instead of just standing on the spot and shooting you, though, Rumblers should try to get some distance between it and you, throwing Mini Turrets behind him as he runs away. He could also crouch behind cover while firing rockets at you. If you're the one running away, he could throw a Mini Turret from around the corner before breaking your cover.

Evolution
Elite Rumblers should have their advantages boosted, while maintaining the same general strategy. To suit this, they could both: A\ Call in one or two Security Bots before or during combat to back up his Mini Turrets and B\ Wield the Slow Pro's giant hook thing to buff his melee attack. It wouldn't deal nearly as much damage as a Bouncer's, but it could be able to send you flying backwards, allowing it to shoot you from a comfortable range.

And that was the Rumbler. After this, I'm doing the Alpha Series, and then... you'll see.
