Overgrown
How do I deal with the overgrown? My guns and armor at at my level, but they just tank all my rounds while near 2-tapping me. I obviously need to kill the flying testies otherwise everything else is otherwise invincible, but when you have 3 invincible guys with rpgs constantly shooting at you, the testies soak up more dps then a discord mod soaking up soda (I've dumped at least 1k .308 rounds into them using my lvl 40 lmg, as a lvl 44, only killed 2 of them), and there are 4 flying testies that run at the slightest amount of dmg its literally impossible to do anything when they are around, let alone that one mission where you need to kill their leader which is an invincible overgrown with a rpg that shoots faster than a german mg3.

It's awful game design, might as well face me up against 12 liberty primes with only a wooden bat.

Would have tried fire if it wasnt for the fact that I havent seen any fire weapon since I was lvl 10

They are just re-skinned super mutants and floaters. I use handmades and fixers on commando/rifleman perked toons, combat shotgun/gauss shotgun on shotgunner, Holy Fire with default legendary modifiers on heavy weapon perked toons etc. And I use vats most of the time.

What level are you, what equipment are you using, and are you on a team?
I think ideally you'd be running most of the harder game content in a group, which allows you to split the necessary damage to kill anything between all your teammates saving on ammunition and lowering time to kill, on top of all of the other benefits of grouping such as perk share and group effects like 'team medic' stimpack sharing, 'take one for the team' and 'follow through' for +10/20/30/40% damage taken by the enemy for each of those two legendary perks, etc.

It may be too early for you to be solo'ing expeditions in atlantic city with your build. Don't be disheartened, just give it a little more time or refine your build/approach. Let others have said fire works pretty well, as do plasma-flamers. Power armor will cut down on your damage taken and might make things a little easier if you aren't arleady wearing it.

iv been killing them on three different characters recently, one was lvl35 (now 41) using a single action revolver lol. My kill priority is usually the little guys first (sense headshotting them kills them faster than the floaters can heal them) then the floaty guys. The elders (ones with the guns) have too much health to dps through with out a good gun/crits while being healed but they RP walk around pretty slowly so lure them into losing line of sight on you or get them outside the floaties heal range. Floaties go right for the big easy to hit head and saving crits for them is a good plan just to get rid of them sooner.

Be aware the Floaters can fire off a spore could that amps up overgrown regen making them hard to kill. More so if more then one does it.

In rare run of bad luck you can get floaters buffing each other making it impossible to kill them. If this happens just back away and try and get them to separate

But yes Fire seems to work best.

I said game design, not the game itself, please read again ty

Better avoid that first Expedition, even with Holy Fire these Overgrown are annoying and you will lose tons of ammo. It's Bethesda design, enemies are either one shot ragdolls or Mega Bullet Sponges.
