Getting instantly killed in the Mariposa Military Base

[Hendicap]

When I enter the Base for the final quest there are three super mutants near the entrance. They instantly attack me with a mini gun and two rocket launchers. I die everytime before my first round. Maybe the problem is that i dont own a power amor but I never had any issues while fighting. I tried to figure out how others solved this problem but there were no guards in the first room in any playthrough i watched. Any tips to solve this fight? Getting a better amor would help my character but companions like dog meat would still die.

If you have robes then you can sneak into the base. You have to leave your companions behind and your weapon must remain holstered. You also have to get by the guard outside. I did this and used a stealthboy to get to the control panel and blow up the base. Base never went on alert.

You can also use a radio on one of the guards outside (if you've already killed him) to try and fool the guards into going to a different location in the base. That way they won't be right at the entrance.

Also, if you have any psycho and buffout, you can use those to increase your stats and damage resistance. With combat armor and one dose of psycho, you will have 90% damage resistance. Enough to stop the damage effects from any miniguns. Not enough to stop the rockets, but rockets don't tend to do much damage against combat armor anyway.

Just keep reloading it until they don't die. Kill one and leave. You can the reheal.
