Try out at the Mall, I here some slavers hang out there.

RadDidIt: (interjecting) Dude. It's the Rookery.
SG Mate: Yeah, but what IS it?

Eh. Just as long as I don't have to go to Maryland.

I already spent 4 hours today dodging swampfolk, swampghouls (Feral Ghoul Reavers = frightening; I thought Deathclaws were annoying as heck, man), and swamplurks.

Had enough swamp, methinks. Time to go get abducted by aliens or make monkies out of shadow governments!

Hi Petey! Yeah those reavers are tough as nails, but even they are nothing compared to the albino DEATH TANK rad-scorps. Those are ridiculous.

I've yet to meet one of those, but if they're about as annoying as Super Mutant Overlords/Feral Ghoul Reavers, then my humongous supply of stimpacks (441) should serve me well in this matter.

And the fact all of my good weapons will likely be decently repaired, so I don't have to rely on slow-firing/reloading pieces of junk and trying to line up good shots. Man, I hate that. :<

No sure Becky, I used the laser mini gun on them. And even that takes a bit to kill them. My advice Yuri, get a good firing platform on some rocks so they cannot get to you during the fight. It takes an obscene amount of damage to kill one. They have like 1500 more hitpoints than even a Super Mutant Overlord.

Looking at it... they're only gonna be slightly more annoying then a Behemoth for me, with my two main luxuries (weak points and terrain manipulation) being pulled from me (because the Radscorpion is significantly smaller then the Behemoth, really limiting my options). Other then that, though, they shouldn't be that bad.

If I can still manage to cripple it's legs (going to be hard without a Dart Gun - this is sort of my 'challenge' character), it'll be a time-consuming cakewalk. I've yet to really run into too many things that pose a serious threat, and so far some of the most deadly enemies in the game are more annoying in their durability then they are anything else.

(Statistically, it looks like they only have 75% of the health of a Behemoth, and 300% the health of a Deathclaw - the lack of a vital point [the head, in most cases] can make it seem like more, though.)

3 headshots with the lightning cannon works though

True I do tend to do a bit of spray and pray with Vengance rather than headshots with VATS.

I'm much more a sneaker. No power armors for me and my stealth suit. Plus the big shiny Gauss gun is slow, but it usually knock the giant radscorps and behemoths off their feet long enough to reload and get at least another couple shots off. Then they get up and I knock them over again!

I'm somewhat sneakier, though my current character is running around in the Leather Rebel outfit, a Pre-War Hat, and the Lucky Shades (+1 CHA, +1 LUK, +1 PER) to do my bidness. I save stealth for situations that I know are going to suck royally (Yao Guai Tunnels [Cursed ninja bears!], Deathclaw Sanctuary), and just sort of muscle my way through everything else (Agility/Luck 10, Finesse, Better Criticals, 28% DR before armor, and 100 Small Guns) with my current collection of surprises. Though, I think I'm currently sitting at... 90 Energy Weapons, and 98 Big Guns right now as well. Doesn't matter much what it is, I pack a whallop with it. Though most of my 'carrying around' guns tend to be Small Arms (Lincoln's Repeater, Terrible Shotgun, Perforater, Victory Rifle). Though if I'm going into a hot zone, I bring a little extra firepower (Miss Launcher, or a mostly fully repaired Gatling Laser).

Not sure yet how I'm going to do against an Albino Radscorpion. Though, last I was in the Capital Wastes (3 levels ago, sitting at 24 now), I was 2 or 3 shotting Giant Radscorpions if they saw me first. One-shot, if I saw them first (and doing the same to Deathclaws, whom I almost always saw first). We'll see how it goes - probably going to suck the first few times.

...may be incentive for me to start picking up some of the other custom weapons and lugging them around. Like the Shishkebab, or Railway Rifle.

Bouncing, apparently...

*scratches at the door to be let in*

Yes, bouncing, and I'm selling the security footage of the bouncing to buy supplies

Fed, you can man the camera if you come in, Tiger, you promise to keep your claws in, you can come too, no popping the bounce

I'd go with you Pogo, but ...

You got me forced to crack my lids in two
I'm still stuck inside this rubber room
I gotta punch the clock that leads the blind
I'm just another gear in the assembly line - oh no

The noose gets tighter around my throat
But I ain't at the end of my rope cuz
I won't be the one left behind
Can't be king of the world
If you're slave to the grind
Tear down the rat racial slime
Can't be king of the world
If you're slave to the grind


Sorry, had to get that outta my system ... my thanks to Skid Row for rocking so damn hard.

Never said you couldn't bounce Fed

And the rubber room pays for your post... whatever lifestyle Emmi
