The Sarge at the armory.

[wilsonstone]

Whats the best level to open the armory at the castle. I'm a noob, I'll admit, but I dinged lvl 24 and the robot guard "sarge" tore me to shreds. I suppose I could put on some power armor and try it, I have plenty of fusion cores, but I don't see it making a difference. Not to mention I need to do some scavenging for more ammo.

pulse grenades, penetrator perk allows you to target the fusion cores even when not facing in your direction
a decent equipped companion can take him down for you
chems, use psycho jet for slow time + damage and med-x to reduce damage

I used a bottlecap mine and that brought him down hard.

Now that I think about it might have been since I had the explosives perk maxed out.

[SpunkyJones]

i used land mines

[SPEDwarf]

I used mines and a lure called a companion.

Potent mines are the easiest and safest way, especially for low levels.
But stacking food and chem buffs can achieve miracles. On my basic type pipe gun only character (level 25), I used psychobuff+bufftats for +6 strength, +6 endurance,+3 perception and +130 health and used jet for slowmotion letting my fully modded pipe rifle tear it apart. I did have decent armour though.

shouldn't the quard bot run hot after a while? waiting behind a pillar while Sarge fired at the pillar didn't let him overheat ...
And i how do i tell that stupid companion not to run in my mines?

Yes a 9 year narco thread.
I love narco threads.

Robot perk is the best just shut it down is all you got to do, no damage to you if your fast enough.

I could have write a new one, too :)
