User blog:Mister Nice Guy/Beating Phalanxes- They're not that hard to beat

I actually think of Phalanxes easy to beat.

The Phalanx in the photo to the right is beong tricked. It was shot with a powerful gun so it stuck out its arm, started firing, and hid behind it's sheild. This can be overcome simply by walking around the sheild and getting a few headshots.

You can also aim for the shoulder where it's visible and sometimes, without meaning to, get a headshot. Then (Unless Angry modifier is active,) the Phalanx will stagger and throw his arms up, revealing his head and chest, opening up for you to get off a few shots.Click here to veiw more information.

Phalanxes are incredibly easy to beat because they stagger much more than Legionaries. With practice I find them even easier to beat than Legionaries.
