Super Mutant Overlord - wtfh????

[mrmike_49]

talk about over powered bullet sponges!!!!!

Terrible Shotgun, point blank range, I can take out a Deathclaw with 3 or 4 shots (in VATS) to the head. Overlord, each shot knocks off maybe 2 or 3 bars of health. They seem to be totally immune to Vengence (Gatling laser). Using a Chinese Assault Rifle, takes a dozen CLIPS to wear one down.

And then, their Tri-Beam Laser just chews up my Tesla Armor.

Think I'm gonna look for a mod to weaken them a bit, right now they have 3 1/2 times the Health of the next Super Mutant

not that bad, they are a humanoid you can simply reverse pickpocket an explosive, which instantly kills who ever you put the explosive on. The harder ones are the bullet sponge ghouls which you cannot reverse pickpocket. A great reason to save up on those stealth boys and use them, or build your natural stealth skill up.

If not, cripple their arms first to slow down their shooting.

found a mod that nerfs the Overlords, Albino Radscorps, and Ghoul Reavers to ~ twice the lower level monsters instead of 3 1/2 to 4 X. Although I never had a real problem with Feral Ghoul Reavers: Terrible Shotgun would usually take off their head in 3 or 4 shots

Yeah, Overlords tend to be moving walls with tri-lasers sticking out of them.

I usually save my grenades for those as there are usually other mutants with them. Usually does a good job of crippling limbs.

Another option you have is to sight their weapons. Don't attack their body initially. Manually target their weapon and watch the weapon go flying - it's pretty hilarious. While they are trying to recover unload on them or try to cripple a leg.

good tactic - I'll try it, although I did d/l a mod to nerf them a bit

There's a mod that turns the fat man into an automatic weapon.

It's glorious.

Oh man... I remember the first time playing again after the dlc came out for this game. Seeing these two new enemy types made me poop a little. I knew for sure I had never seen them before in the base game lol good times.
