Defeating Royal Guards : FPS / MMORPG / RTS Discussion

To easily take down Royal Guards (red Elites with strange helms), attack them with the energy sword. Do not be afraid -- keep slashing. They will fall after about three hits. Note: If it has a energy sword, you must get the first hit or it can kill you with one shot.


Do not let their armor fool you -- they are still Elites. Knock down the shields with a plasma weapon, then shoot them in the head with the pistol.


Have Plasma Grenades. When you see them, stick them with Plasma Grenades. It should kill them in one hit. The same can be done with Brutes, Grunts, Elites, and Jackals.
