"Weakest of the three processed humans, armed solely with a simple blaster."

— Quake II Manual

In Quake II, the Light Guards are one of the three stroggified humans who wear light gray armor with orange shoulder plates. Light Guards are equipped with a Blaster. They appear in almost every level in the game, mostly backing up the Gunner and Gladiator. Light Guards are the weakest enemy in the game.

WeaponEdit

Shoots a single beam from his right-arm mounted Blaster dealing 5 damage. The Light Guard will then move to a different position before launching another attack. Even though it is very easy to spot and dodge, getting hit by this weakest of attacks won't be much of a threat. The only way a Light Guard could ever kill a player is if he/she has 5 health and the Light Guard hasn't been spotted.

StrategiesEdit

• Alone, Light Guards are extremely easy to kill. Their only ability in the Strogg Army is to waste ammo, so if the player is low on ammo, switch to the Blaster or Shotgun. If there's a group of them, use the Machine Gun and open fire, strafe and it'll be over before it begins.
• With other enemies, the Light Guard is an insignificant spec and will most likely be killed in the crossfire as the bigger enemies are taken care of.
• Sometimes a downed Guard of any of the three classes (Light, Shotgun or Machine Gun) will perform a final attack before actually dying, which can be dangerous if your health is low and you're right in front of him. Either avoid the attack or take a few extra shots to gib the body.
