Changes: Master McCloud

Revision as of 20:14, 18 December 2017

Master McCloud is a high-ranking officer in the Crimson Lance. He is encountered at the end of a hidden passage used to infiltrate the Crimson Fastness and is known to carry an Eridian Cannon.

Background

Master McCloud sees himself as a star-hopping, interplanetary hero. Given half a chance, he will regale anyone with tales of his many exploits. This probably explains why he has been stationed on a remote dustball like Pandora, as far from the Atlas HQ as humanly possible.^{[citation needed]}

Notes

Master McCloud can also deploy a Scorpio Turret.
Master McCloud will drop his Eridian Cannon when he is killed. On Playthrough 2, he will drop a level 48 Eridian Cannon.
The Crimson Fastness is unlocked along with The Backdoor upon opening Baron Flynt's chest in Playthrough 2, so it is possible to skip the fight with McCloud all together by simply teleporting to the Crimson Fastness instead of travelling through the Backdoor.

Trivia

In the Dead Haven zone of the first DLC, The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned, Master McCloud's body is propped against the northwestern door, from which the player would normally enter Old Haven.

-== Strategy ==
-Master McCloud is accompanied by two of the [[Lance Royal Guard]], a rare, heavily armoured Crimson Lance unit. Together, the three of them can present a formidable encounter, although the various crates in the room provide ample cover to avoid most of their attacks. Alternatively, moving quickly around the perimeter of the room can help with avoiding enemy fire. As with other Crimson Lance, Corrosive weapons are a very effective damage source in taking the trio down.

-It is sometimes possible to completely avoid combat with McCloud by keeping to the extreme back of the room just after entering. The two guards will react when fired upon, however McCloud himself may remain in position, oblivious to the incoming fire. Using this tactic, it is best to kill McCloud quickly before the other pair close to a more effective firing range.
+|Involvement        =
-Another effective strategy is to get a strong corrosive [[Grenade Mod]] before the battle (Rain grenades work well), preferably with a high [[SDU#Ammunition SDU|Grenade SDU]], then go towards the door and to one side. As soon as the door rises, begin tossing grenades into the room. The corrosive damage will grant a substantial head start on them.

-Be sure to dodge shots from his Eridian Cannon as much as possible. The powerful, but slow, blasts from the weapon can make short work of characters caught in them.
