Quake II/Enemies

Quake II Enemies (Strogg Types)
This page describes the Enemies (Strogg Types) that you will be fighting in Quake II, in order of appearance in the game.

Light Guard
(Blaster, red and gray armor, red shoulder plates, blue weapon)

Shotgun Guard
(Shotgun, pale green armor and shoulder plates, gray weapon)

Machinegun Guard
(Machine Gun, gold and gray armor, gray weapon)

Enforcer
The enforcer's right forearm has been replaced by a chain gun, which he uses for ranged attacks and also as a club in melee attacks.

Flyer
The Flyer has two wing-mounted blasters.

Medic
Fighting a Medic is no big deal. He has no melee attack, he's slow to bring up his weapon, his rate of fire is low and three blasts from the Super Shotgun will take him down. Shots from his blaster will only cost you two health points each but after he has fired two he rests the weapon on his left arm and fires a sustained stream of damage that will use up a score or more. Keep him under fire and don't let him do that. When he dies he may drop a pack of cells. Medics are a much bigger problem when they show up and you're not there to fight them. In that case, they'll wander around reviving Strogg that you've previously killed and you will have to fight them all over again. This is particularly troublesome when a Medic revives a tough opponent that cost you a powerup (if you stoop to use them) or significant health, armor and ammo to take down. You can prevent this by pulverizing (gibbing) the corpses of Strogg enemies before moving on, so Medics have nothing on which to work. You can use your Blaster to conserve ammunition, but this takes time. Another approach is to follow the walkthroughs which will tell you where the Medics turn up and kill them before they can unpack their little black bags.

Tank Commander
The Tank Commander is a dressed-up and slightly tougher version of the Tank that appears only in the City unit. Use the same tactics as for the ordinary Tank.
