Rise of the Triad: Dark War Hints
Lightning Guard
Lightning Guards have but a pistol, but they CAN take a lot of hits. One rule when fighting these guys is STAY AS FAR AWAY AS POSSIBLE. See, Lightning Guards can steal your missile weapons, and use them on you. For instance, if you have a Drunk Missile, and you wander close enough to one of these guys, you'll hear a "Gimme that!" and your weapon will be gone. Next thing you know, you have several missiles firing from that Lightning Guard, all aimed at you. Not good. The good news is that if you kill the Lightning Guard that stole your weapon, you get the weapon back (minus the ammo he shot). Also, these guys will plead for mercy when you've pumped them full of enough lead. Gun 'em down. If you let them live, they'll only stand back up in a couple seconds and try to kill you again.
