(Picture: Behaviour Interactive)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"mcetoc_1gta1ngfd3\">Best Guards In Meet Your Maker<\/h2>\n<p>Choosing Guards for your Outpost in Meet Your Maker is really just about assessing the situation and understanding every type of Guard since no one Guard type is objectively better across the board. In fact,<strong> you should use all Guard types in your Outpost <\/strong>if possible but think critically about how to place them. This is true for almost all Outposts. <\/p>\n<p>To choose your Guards, think about the traps you&#8217;ve placed around your Outpost and how you can use the Guards to either encourage players to fall into them or kill them outright as they attempt to escape.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For example, if you want to protect the Genmat with melee guards that surround it, you&#8217;ll want to go with the Warmonger. On the other hand, if you want a ranged attacker, you might want to go with the Hornet or Enforcer instead. For a multi-pronged approach, maybe <strong>go with the brand-new Ravager,<\/strong> released in Sector 1: Dreadshore.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s all you need to know about how Guards work in Meet Your Maker to create your own Outpost. While all of the Guards are useful in some instances, it&#8217;s critical that you place the right guards in appropriate situations so they can efficiently protect your Genmat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Your two main lines of defense in your Meet Your Maker Outpost are traps and Guards; while traps are an incredibly efficient way to guard&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12834,"featured_media":45103,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"tags":[],"class_list":["post-45102","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-meet-your-maker","genre-action-adventure","content_type-guide-tutorial"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Meet Your Maker Best Guards To Use - GINX TV<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"What are the best guards in Meet Your Maker?
