How to defeat dude in power armor

[RippieFlippie]

I play for the Institute now in my second playthrough and the mass fusion mission starts. The one right after you have to make the BOS vs Institute decision. I am beamed on top of the sky scraper and there is a BOS Knight in power armor. I tried shooting the fusion core, sneaking up to him to steal the core..all unsuccessful. He is invinsible.

Pointless. I picked up my fat man and nuked him. Then the elevator goes down and the door opens and there is the next power armor knight. Is this some kind of f*cking bs where you get shafted as soon as you play for the bs institute. Is the institute story line like 100x f*ckinmg harder than the bs BOS line? What is this power armor knights bs in this frikkin game, man? (playing on very hard)

If you have the perk that allows using VATS through walls you can target the fusion core in VATS and enjoy the Kaboom.

Humm just open fire on him while wearing your own power armor .X-01.

Go in nuka workd first get the 7.62 mm gun and lite hime up hes dead in seconde

[showler]

Get your own Power Armour, get a big gun, shoot him a lot.

Unless you modded in invulnerable power armour he shouldn't be that difficult to kill.

radium riffle are good. but plasma are best use full auto plasma gun with all the improvement and get the automatic perk get you 100% more dam. bring 1000 rnd minimum.

What level are you? Because the BoS Knights are really, really bad.

If you have singleshot weapons and have the marksman perk up to 3/4 you can chew through them easily.

I play pure vanilla. Zero mods, zero add-ons.
I lowered the dificulty. This mass fusion mission is just terribly off balance if you play for the institute. Elvator hits ground floor, power armored dude falls from the sky right in front of you. Stupid scripted stuff...
Later when you steal the core, the assaultrons come and other heavy guys. All by yourself, no companions. Forget it.

And you completely avoided my question.

His level isn't as relevant as his skill level, which is apparently bad. Power Armor enemies are like a 6/10 difficulty level. Might as well quit before you run into chameleon deathclaws or a legendary cricket. Or, y'know.. use psychojet and just shoot them to death like everything else in the game.

Easy way: god mode and beat him to death with your fists.
(might take a while, but it'll get your frustrations out).

Level 24. Played through story on very hard with Brotherhood. It was good, because you had to watch what you are doing and be careful, otherwise you would bite the dust. Challenging, but doable. Now I repeat the story with institute and it is such a huge gap in difficulty, it is stupid. This mass fusion mission is a joke with the institute. When the elevator hits the floor, the power armored knight literally falls from the sky right in front of you. What kind if skills would you propose that I am lacking? I am simply outgunned here. Do you want me to mod the game? Or use like 10 different chems to make me invinsible, which is basically cheating. You know, cheating as in: " I swallow a few pills and suddenly my skin is made of titanium, I have super powers and time slows down". This is stupid kiddie BS. Never used cheat chems during my first playtrough. BS game. F that BS game. This is a story mission that has to be balance somehow. Those f*cking gaming idiots at Bethesda. You.Will.Be.Eradicated!!!

The game provides tools for you to use in difficult situations. If you're not willing to use them, that's your problem. Don't sit there whining about game design to us, we didn't make it. Do you want solutions or do you just want to ♥♥♥♥♥ at strangers?
