How to Beat 3: The Warden

The Warden is a formidable opponent encountered during Mission 5: Broken Chains. This boss is a heavily armored riot guard, equipped with a riot shield, a powerful shotgun, and tear gas grenades. The fight takes place in a confined prison block, limiting your movement options. His primary strategy is to push aggressively, using his shield to absorb damage and his shotgun to punish close-range engagements. He is slow but incredibly resilient.

Strategy

• Weak Point: His back is exposed when he turns or reloads. Also, his head is vulnerable if you can get an angle above or around his shield.
• Explosives: Frag Grenades and C4 are highly effective against his shield and armor. Throw them behind him or at his feet.
• Flanking: Use the prison cells and pillars to flank him. He is slow to turn, creating opportunities for side attacks.
• Tear Gas: When he throws tear gas, quickly move out of the affected area to avoid disorientation.
• Shotgun Counter: If he gets too close, a well-placed shotgun blast to his exposed areas can deal significant damage.
• Recommended Loadout: An LMG (e.g., RPD) for sustained damage against his armor, or a high-damage Assault Rifle. Bring Frag Grenades and a Stimshot.

He will occasionally charge, attempting to bash you with his shield. Dodge these charges and use the recovery time to land some shots.
