A Truxican Wrestler is a type of Loot Midget in The Secret Armory of General Knoxx. They are small melee attackers with a massive glove on their right hands.
Location
A Truxican Wrestler will emerge from the first few lockers in Lockdown Palace. A second Truxican Wrestler can be found in another locker on the way out of Lockdown Palace between the washroom and the encounter with Chaz.
Strategy
Truxican Wrestlers will launch out of lockers when freed and close to melee attack range. Their punches deliver a powerful knockback effect that will launch a character away when they connect. Truxican Wrestlers are also known to pause between attacks when they are some distance away, which can occur fairly regularly when they knock a target well clear.
Shooting the head of a Truxican Wrestler will yield critical hits, greatly accelerate their demise, and Elemental attacks are also very effective, especially those that do Incendiary damage. Keeping well clear of a Truxican Wrestler will reduce the effects of being knocked around and avoid their melee damage.
Notes
- Killing a Truxican Wrestler is one of the objectives needed to obtain the Sneaky Little Buggers achievement.
Trivia
- The name Truxican is originally the Mexican Wrestler until a developer pointed out that this took place on Pandora, not on Earth, so a name change was in order.
- Mordecai is thought to look like a Truxican wrestler as Marcus Kincaid kindly points out at the beginning while players select a new character. There is also a Truxican Wrestler class mod in The Secret Armory of General Knoxx that can boost Mordecai's effectiveness with melee combat.
- The Truxican Westler appears to be a scaled-down and brightly-colored version of Mordecai's original character model; an obvious hint to Marcus' comment made at the start of the game.
