UT 2004 Walkthrough

Are you wondering how I beat Malcolm in UT2004? Here is a strategy that will have you victorious in a matter of twenty minutes.

1. Never get into close range. If you do, Malcolm will pull out the Flak Cannon and kill you.

2. He is 100% accurate with the minigun. If he starts shooting and your health is dropping run away before it is too late.

3. Occasionally he will get stuck on the map, or fall off a ledge, or blow himself up. This is to your advantage, basically you can win by not letting him kill you.

4. The best weapons to use against Malcolm are the minigun, the Shock Rifle, the Rocket Launcher, and the Flak Cannon.

5. If you pick up the grenade launcher, drop it immediately. It is the most useless weapon in the game.

6. The Bio-Rifle: Only use in rare circumstances, it is too inaccurate and Malcolm can dodge instantly.

7. Hang around the top of the ship where the Shock Rifle is located. All I did was go around in a circle collecting the adrenaline and health until Malcolm came up and I (hopefully) killed him.

8. When your adrenaline is full use BOOSTER! (back, back, back, back). This is the best way to get your health to max (199) and your shield to max (150).

9. Get the Super Shield. Preferably before Malcolm does. However, get back up to the top of the ship immediately, because in close range combat Malcolm will generally win.

10. Use the Shock Rifle at long range. You may even be able to knock Malcolm off the edge of the ship (which counts as your kill).

11. Don't bother trying to lock rockets onto Malcolm. They will generally miss as he will dodge at the last second.

12. I won 1 kill, 4 vs. 5. Since I was up at the top of the ship I rarely saw Malcolm, thus I was able to win by not dying as often as him.

I was playing on Skilled.
