Tips and Tricks to defeat The Gunnar boss
- Land at the Covert Cavern and collect any weapons of your choice. Apart from guns, collect some healing items and save some building materials.
- Gunnar has a total of 650 health and 650 shields. So, before you start the combat, assess your resource pool.
- Once you start attacking him, he will retaliate by firing at you or throwing grenades. Also, he will instruct other IO Guards soldiers to eliminate you.
- Try to engage the entire fight in mid to long-range and don't go near him as he may charge towards you. Make use of any throwables like Firefly at your disposal.
- You can find a lot of ammo and healing items from the IO Guards. Eliminate them if you need any resources.
- Try to separate the IO guards from Gunnar by repositioning yourself quite often. This allows you to focus your battle on Gunnar rather than his bodyguards.
- Build and take advantage of the high ground when necessary. Also, hide inside any buildings or rooms when you need to heal or reload.
- Dodge, shoot, heal, reload and build. Repeat the process and you will take him down in 5-10 minutes.
Remember, it is far easier to take him down in Duo or Squad mode than in Solos.
