Duke Nukem 3D/Enemies
From StrategyWiki, the free strategy guide and walkthrough wiki
| Enemy | Appearance | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Assault Trooper | Brown lizard in green vest | Killed with one shotgun blast. Sometimes when shot, they will drop to the ground and shake their head; don't waste ammo- they won't get up in this instance. Some fly. |
| Assault Captain | Brown lizard in red vest | Like a trooper, but harder to kill and able to teleport. |
| Pig Cop | Warthog in blue police uniform | Use shotguns, which can inflict heavy damage at close range. Killed with two shotgun hits. |
| Pig Cop Patrol Vehicle | Pig Cop in flying machine | Will drop with one direct hit of an explosive weapon. When they crash, the pig cop will survive and must be killed. |
| Pig Cop Tank (Atomic Edition only) | Pig Cop in green tank | Can be killed through special trick: when it turns away, run up and press open on the nuke symbol on its back. It will make a sound like a tripbomb, and explode. The explosion can kill you, so keep back. Pig Cop will survive and must be killed. |
| Enforcer | Lizard with a long nose in black | Shots a chaingun and throws green slime. About as tough as a pig cop. |
| Octobrain | Octopus with a big head and three red eyes | Shoots purple brain waves, which deal very heavy damage. Also bite up close. Takes several shots to kill with most weapons. |
| Protozoid Slimer | Green blob; hatch from large eggs | Attack by attaching to your face. A kick will kill one that is on you. If you spot an unbroken egg, it is ready to hatch a slimer- destroy the egg before it does. |
| Sentry Drone | Flying black, metal blob | Kamikaze- flies into you and explodes. Hard to kill; deals heavy damage if it gets to you before you kill it. |
| Assault Commander | Fat blob on a flying disc | These shoot rockets capable of killing, and will attack up close by spinning. Hard to kill; be ready to dodge rockets. |
| Protector Drone (Atomic Edition only) | Brown lizard with visible ribs | Slashes, dealing heavy damage, and shoots shrink rays. Hard to kill. If shrunk, run away before you get stepped on. |
