"CHARGE!"

— Mauler when it is about to attack.

The Mauler was a Boomer variant, equipped with a Boomshield and a horned helmet that together give them considerable cover from small arms fire. The Boomshield they carry can be used by the player. All Maulers carry an explosive flail, which they run forward wielding and is deadly at close range. When shot, they will flinch and deploy their shield to absorb the bullets, making chest shots more difficult. Headshots are more advisable due to its large head but requires at least 2 shots from a longshot.

Operation Hollow StormEdit

Maulers were encountered by Marcus Fenix and Dom Santiago in the Locust Detention area near the entrance Nexus. As they infiltrated the area, a Mauler prepared to receive them with a pack of Wretches. After the Gears dealt with them, the Locust opened fire from the entrance to the Detention facility. They fought past them and managed to get in. Inside, a mauler was patrolling the cells with 4 Drones and a Theron. After following them into a staging area, Marcus and Dom killed the group, and the reinforcements that came after them.

The Sinking of JacintoEdit

Guarding the area around the Jacinto sink-hole, Maulers attacked the advancing Marcus Fenix and Dom. They eliminated one, but after turning a corner in the street, the found themselves confronted by 3 Maulers that were part of a Sizeable Locust unit. Marcus found a Hammer of Dawn targeting laser, and used the Hammer to great effect in dispatching the whole unit, Maulers included.

Lambent InvasionEdit

Maulers were first re-encountered in the Locust's siege of Anvil Gate. Escorted by Grinders they moved into the first enfilade point behind the front wall of the fort, 2 waves were fended off but the 4th managed to break through to the main courtyard area, but were met with devastating fire from two Chain Gun Turrets manned by Pvt.Dom Santiago and Col.Victor Hoffman.

They were later encountered at Endeavor Naval Shipyard, while searching for a Rotor so they could repair the CNV Adamant. One was in position guarding a Ship Hull in a dry dock, it was killed by Delta.

Later, on Azura. A Mauler was discovered guarding a Siegebeast position with a unit of Queen's Guards, and a Grinder. It was killed when Delta took over the position. When taking the last artillery position another appeared in a last attempt to fend off the Gears, but it failed. Delta cleared the catapults meaning they could get air-support.
