"Intruders? Send in the G03LM Units. If they fail...well, then we deserve whatever comes next."
- Madness: Project Nexus 2 Kickstarter

The G03LM (Standing for Generation-03, Limited Model) is a special enemy type appearing in Madness: Project Nexus (Classic) and its sequel, MADNESS: Project Nexus. They have slightly pale skin, with a darker body compared to that of a grunt, and stitches all across their face and body, with some visible flesh. Their most notable features are their gaping mouth with yellowish teeth, and their slightly orange colored blood. G03LMs are completely armored and nearly immune to bullets. They are about the size of Mag Hank (or about 1.35 times the size of a normal person). They often carry heavy weaponry, including submachine guns and giant mallets. The term G03LM is a distortion of the word 'golem'. Their melee attacks penetrate the TAC-Bar and will directly deal damage to the player.

In order to kill the G03LM units, the player must first use melee or unarmed attacks in order to knock off their helmets, revealing a hideous, monster-like face. However, when doing this, the player is exposed to the G03LM's melee attacks, which can cause the player to fall over and drop any weapons being held. This can be temporarily avoided by the player hitting the G03LM with a dash attack, causing him to stumble for a few seconds. After the helmet is knocked off successfully, the G03LMs can then be killed by bullets to the exposed head. It is advised to use unarmed combat against their armor so that the dodge ability can still be intact while fighting them. Despite their immunity to firearms, G03LMs can be knocked down, disarmed, and even killed by M203 grenades.

In MADNESS: Project Nexus, they reappear in armor more akin to medieval knights and are well spoken and articulate. Project Nexus also shows that a few G03LMs are able to preform jobs in the medical field and one serves as the main gameshow host to Slaughter Time. In their concept art, they are shown to have a mutated and stitched-up body under their armor. The method in how they are killed has also changed; armored ones instead require their helmets to be removed via a takedown, and their exposed faces can now be damaged from methods other than firearms.

Personality[]

G03LMs are extremely polite, even to clear enemies that are attacking them. When in combat, they tell the players to stand down or submit to them, but do so in a way that doesn't showcase sadism. When getting attacked, they say that is pointless and to refrain from doing that. When they have a unique speaking part, they often say things regarding trespassing (Ex: โ€œOh. You have seemed to have wandered the wrong way.โ€). However, despite their soft-spoken and polite personalities, they can be as bloodthirsty as any other Nevadean, as showcased with Bandit Brutes.

G03LM Mk1[]

The G03LM Mk.1s are the most basic forms of the G03LM units with 180 health points. In Story Mode, they first appear in level [1-F], the Stronghold. In Arena Combat Mode, the first G03LM MK.1 makes his appearance in Wave 12.

As of the 1.6 update, the G03LM Mk.1's scrap armor can be bought in the store. They are the best equipment for headgear, face gear and body armor, on par with the Robocop and Cadet outfit.

G03LM Mk2[]

The G03LM Mk.2 units first appeared in the [1-G] stage of Madness: Project Nexus (Classic). They also appear in waves 37+ of Arena Combat Mode. They wear the same armor as the original G03LM Mk.1s, but colored black with a red trim and much more durable.

They can be killed the same way as G03LM Mk.1s, but are much harder to do so. G03LM Mk.2s are equipped with any weapon as a primary weapon (the one in Story Mode uses a mega hammer and minigun as a secondary weapon). Their helmet is much more sturdy and secure than the Mk.1 version, as it's about six times as strong (the Mk.1's helm taking 5 hits while the Mk.2's one taking 8 hits for each of the 3 times it cracks). However, any time the G03LM Mk.2s' mask is cracked, they will stumble for a moment. Additionally, their unarmored bodies are more resilient to those of their Mk.1 counterpart, requiring more damage to be taken down.

Strangely, any visible damage done to the G03LM Mk.2s' helmet disappears when it is knocked off.

Zombie G03LM[]

Zombie G03LMs are the zombified G03LMs. They are a part of the Zombie Arena Mode of Madness: Project Nexus (Classic), first appearing after Wave 9. These G03LMs wear dented-up armor and will sometimes spawn, lacking a protective bulletproof helmet.

Like the G03LMs, zombie G03LMs must have their helmets, if any, knocked off before taking any damage. However, similar to zombies, these G03LMs cannot use weapons and will usually drop them if held On the other hand, because of their size, zombie G03LMs cannot steal weapons or ammunition from their foes. Like regular G03LMs, they can only used unarmed attacks to knock over and disarm victims, inflicting direct health damage (although the damage inflicted by the zombie G03LM is notably higher compared to the regular G03LM). This also makes them different from other zombies, who drain the victims' Tac-Bars before killing them.

Notably, no G03LM Mk.2s have become zombies nor have never seen being zombies in the actual gameplay. However, they are in the game files.

MADNESS: Project Nexus[]

Most G03LMs can get angry when getting hit 5 times, and will either grab the attacker to take them down or rapidly punch.

Nexus Core[]

G03LM[]

No Armor

Five unarmored G03LMs can be found in a locker room in Base Jumping. One of them armed with a mace also appears in Arena Mode's Sleepwalker Training stage in Endless Mode.

G03LM Mk.1[]

G03LM Mk.1

In MADNESS: Project Nexus, G03LM Mk.1s' appearance drastically changed. Instead of having gray bulletproof armor, they have a giant mask with giant eye holes with wireframes in the back and a chestplate that only covers their front. They often appear in Nexus Core Facility's Endless Mode. A G03LM Mk.I wielding a Dragonslayer can be found in Climb!, where you have to ring the call ball in the first room 55 times to encounter him. You can damage them normally without ripping their mask off.

G03LM Mk.2[]

Gol3m

G03LM Mk.2

In MADNESS: Project Nexus, G03LM Mk.2s are now the standard G03LM units of the Nexus Core. Their armor is now white and grey and they wear a mask over a part of their helmet similar to a G03LM Mk.1 in Madness: Project Nexus (Classic). The only way to damage him is to use Dissonant weapons, or remove their mask and shoot their head or break their neck.

G03LM Mk.3[]

G03LM Mk.3s are G03LMs who only appear in the Sleepwalker Training stage in Arena Mode and The Playground. They have armor similar to that of G03LM Mk.2s, but in black, gray and red, similar to the Blackguard and the MPN (Classic) G03LM MK.2s. The strategies to defeat them are the same as that of G03LM Mk.2s, just with the difference that the Mk.3s have two Corpus blocks and comes with a halberd and a minigun.

Harmacist Jr.[]

Harmacist Jr.'s are the G03LM version of Harmacists. They appear to have the same outfit of a Harmacist, but they also have bandages in their slightly darker face. In the stages Harmacist Jr.'s appears in, they wield power saws.

G03LM Sleepwalker[]

G03LM Sleepwalkers are G03 clones who were put in the Sleepwalker Program. Much like their average size counterparts, G03LM Sleepwalkers wear bandages and a metal mask, although G03LMs wear a custom version with metal plates at the sides to properly encase the larger head.

G03LM Sleepwalkers behave almost the same as regular G03LMs with the additional ability to come back to life via an electric shock so long as they are still wearing their mask. Executing a takedown on a dizzy G03LM Sleepwalker allows the character to remove his mask and subsequent takedowns damage or kill him. G03LM Sleepwalkers can also be killed permanently by using shock weapons.

Tower Guard[]

The Tower Guards are a new set of G03LMs appearing in MADNESS: Project Nexus. They dress in a manner similar to a medieval knight, wearing elaborate suits of armor complete with capes and even wield medieval weapons. There are three different types of Tower Guards, and they each wield a different weapon.

Dissonant G03LM[]

Dissonant G03LMs (also called G03LM Mk.Ds) are G03LMs with Dissonance and cybernetic enhancements. They have two megachettes, two Corpus blocks, and an ability to teleport above the player to attack. They can be damaged without removing their armor, explode quickly when killed and only appear in The Playground and in the final Story Mode mission, The Rush.

Bandits[]

Bandit Brute[]

Bandit Brutes are G03LM-sized Bandits who wear trash bag shrouds, rags and car parts as improvised armor. As to be expected, they have more health and hit harder than normal Bandits. They are the alphas for the many splinter groups of Survivors, using their imposing statures to bully lesser Bandits into compliance. Much like other G03LM-type enemies, Brutes will begin to swing wildly with a flurry of punches if they are hit 5 times at close quarters. If this attack dodged, this will tire them out, leaving them open to a takedown attack from behind.

Cyber Bandit Brute[]

The strongest type of Bandits, Cyber Bandit Brutes show up as wave bosses in The Murder Room stage in Arena Mode and in the Legacy of the S-3LF Eater mission in Story Mode. they don't appear a lot, since there are not a lot of them. They often spawn with alphaware weapons like the Dissonance lancer or Dissonance cannon, but also come with a pair of electric defibrillator paddles for unarmed attacks. Additionally, they can initiate a lethal bull rush attack and charge at players to stun/ragdoll them. Cyber Brutes come with two Corpus blocks, and can perform a charge slam attack when recovering from being knocked down. This feature is shared by one of the two MERC G03LMs, Church. Also, unlike the Bandit Brutes, Cyber Brutes won't unleash a flurry of punches even when getting hit 5 times.

Fanatics[]

Graveseeker Bandit[]

Graveseeker Bandits are G03LMs who used to be part of the sector's mining force before becoming the main brute force of the Fanatics cult. They're usually armed with shovels and can charge up attacks or dig onto the ground in order to close the distance with opponent by popping from below.

Zeds[]

G03LM Mk.Z[]

Zombie G03LMs return in MADNESS: Project Nexus as the G03LM Mk.Zs, and can only be found in The Haunting of Nevada House Endless Mode in Arena Mode and The Playground. Unlike most Zeds, they can actually use weapons to attack enemies. Unlike most G03LMs, Mk.Zs don't stand still for a while after getting hit 5 times, so they can't be taken down from behind.

Gudgeons[]

Moosher[]

Mooshers are G03LM-sized clones that serve as bosses in the infinite wave sections of Slaughter Timeโ„ข. They wear the same armor as the G03LM Mk.1 except that it's yellow instead of grey. They wield a special shotgun similar to the Bully's shotgun, but it's larger and fires in 5-round burst instead of 3-round burst.

Others[]

Bouncer[]

Bouncers are G03LM dressed in suits and sunglasses stationed within the Slaughter Time studio and Club Advent. They only appear in Slaughter Time, working as receptionists, and Fickle Friends, standing guard and then later aiding the player to fight against the invading Toughs.

Trivia[]

  • G03LM appears to stand for Generation-03, Limited Model, given how Church and Jorge, two G03LMs described themselves with that term. This is later confirmed in a museum in the final level, The Rush.
    • According to the Science Tower museum, Generation-03 clones were first marketed as butlers to the civilian market, explaining their rather polite dialogue. There were also plans for Generation-04 clones, which would have been smaller in stature, and Generation-05 units, which resulted in a line of Robots.
  • In MPN, the G0L3Ms gain a full facial cross despite them not having one in MPN (Classic).
