Precision Bolt or Sticky Bomb to destroy the turret on top. Removes ranged threat.

Overview

Spider-like demons with a plasma turret mounted on their back. Arachnotrons fire rapid bursts of plasma and can climb walls. Destroying the turret with a precision shot cripples them, leaving only weak melee attacks.

Strengths

  • +Rapid plasma fire deals heavy sustained damage.
  • +Wall-climbing ability provides unpredictable positioning.
  • +Turret has long range and high accuracy.

Weaknesses

  • -Turret is a destroyable weak point -- one precision shot removes it.
  • -Slow and clumsy in melee once turret is gone.
  • -Moderate health pool -- dies quickly to heavy weapons.

Combat Tips

  • 1One Precision Bolt shot to the top turret instantly removes their ranged attack.
  • 2After the turret is destroyed, they can only charge and melee -- much less dangerous.
  • 3They climb walls and ceilings -- check vertical surfaces when you hear plasma fire.
  • 4Sticky Bomb also destroys the turret if Precision Bolt is not available.
