Like Gunners and Berserkers, Iron Maidens are mid-level Strogg units that are noticeably tougher than the basic cannon fodder Guards or Tactical Strogg, but not nearly as heavy as a Gladiator or Light Tank. They also can occasionally teleport to a different position in the room, which they often do immediately after being shot. They're quite agile, and can abruptly strafe sideways several feet in mid-air to dodge rockets and other projectiles. At point-blank range they can slash with their claw, but they seem to prefer using their scream attack instead. She is a dangerous teammate killer due to her rockets.Īt close range, they can scream and emit a short range supersonic energy wave from their mouth, which does modest damage and disorients your vision for a few seconds. Their rockets can be dodged at medium or long range, but have a decent-sized splash damage radius, which can be annoying when fighting them in very close quarters.

They typically fire a series of 3 rockets in sequence, although they occasionally only fire a single rocket. Iron Maidens float through the air while firing rockets at the player, with a brief pause between each rocket volley. Iron Maidens are first encountered in Data Storage Security, and make regular appearances in the later levels, although they are generally fairly uncommon after they are first encountered (with only a few appearing per level after the first couple of levels in which they are seen). Iron Maidens are usually kept in special storage containers and released when a security breach occurs. She is equipped with a Rocket Launcher mounted on her left arm, and a claw mounted on her right hand, and she can fire a short-range energy wave from her mouth that disorients any target hit by it. Her agility allows her to avoid most projectiles, such as unguided Rockets.

And then jump in-game with us to play Quake Champions! If you'd rather not actually play a Quake game, we've got this massive article you might want to check out instead.In Quake 4, an Iron Maiden is a female Strogg consisting of a female human-like upper body with no legs, instead having a dress-like series of energy ribbons that trail under them as they float through the air, unlike her Quake 2 counterpart. She can teleport short distances (which causes her to disappear for a few seconds before reappearing elsewhere in the room). If you log in any time from now until May 11, you can claim them, but hurry up and do so before they go away.
QUAKE 4 STROGG FREE
If those goodies aren't enough, you can hop into Quake Champions now and also pick up an Infantry armor set for Ranger and attachments, as well as three free chests with cool items inside. Just turn people into goo! It's whatever you want, man.

You can start ripping into enemies with the new Plasma Gun as well, which was pulled straight from Quake III Arena. While you're at it, delve into the new map Awoken, which offers an arena covered in vines that's perfect for Team Deathmatch, Duel, 2v2, regular Deathmatch, and the kickass Instagib mode. You've probably already seen Strogg & Peeker if you played Quake II and Quake 4, and you'll be able to enter the Arena as Strogg and his drone sidekick, who has a somewhat unfortunate name.
QUAKE 4 STROGG UPDATE
If you're still fragging the weak and hurdling the dead, you'll appreciate the new April update that went live recently, bringing a new playable Champion (is that technically two Champions?) in the form of Strogg & Peeker (not "pecker," guys, grow up) and a new map as well as a weapon to make things explode with. Quake Champions is still very much a thing, and you should be playing it.
