Tactics and Strategy
The Beast is a heavily armored soldier carrying an explosive weapon. These heavy hitters are incredibly sturdy and can be very difficult to take down until you take out their armor.
You’ll be able to pick the Beast out in a crowd—his armor makes him almost twice as wide as other soldiers! If you see one, you should make it your priority to remove this threat before you deal with the other enemies.
The Beast’s armor causes him to take much less damage from your guns than normal soldiers. Before you can even start to deal damage, you’ll need to hit the Beast with a few headshots just to take off his helmet, which lets you start dealing normal damage to him.
This foe has the same vulnerability to Vigors as normal soldiers, so make use of your Vigor arsenal to take him out faster. Bucking Bronco and Shock Jockey are especially effective, since they keep the Beast from firing while making him more vulnerable to your weapons.
