Agreed...
the most hated enemy to fight.

Suiciders. Soon as i hear the beeping sound i start panicking, and i never seem to spot them till their too close.

the couple NPCs in the game who spawn with a fatman

This.
I hate those guys. The one at Libertalia, is bad because the entire ship graveyard is in range; but the one at Outpost Zimonja.... yeah. On survival, you can kill him first but another raider will pick up the dead leader's fat man and nuke you. Seen it happen with others with the fat man.
Suiciders are slow and good sniper bait.
After those two, stupid mosquitoes... they can dodge bullets and you waste more ammo on them than you do with suiciders.

I remember when i first started playing and that bastard on top of the advertising railing in Lexington nuked me when i was fighting ghouls.
Went back and was like, "ok snipey snipey time for you".
Killed him and came out of my hidey hole only to get nuked by one of his raider buddies.

That was when i learned enemies could pick up weapons too.

I usually get up on the highway, and position myself so I can only see one of the open areas that the sign covers. Then wait.
Surprise attack for multiple damage 2x and beyond usually deals with the power armor. Then the threat is to kill the other guy who picks up the fat man.

And they can snipe you with it from like a mile away.

Nuka World's Cave Crickets.

They are so ridiculously op.

Legendary assaultrons are the bane of my existence. I usually run away when I hear their footsteps or voice. My compainions can deal with them (they go down every time, haha).

at the beginning of my journey I was avoiding any large robots because I didn't have enough power to destroy them. Once it's my 20th hour of the playthru, seeing a tag "no ammo" scares me xd

Bloat flies.

I can't abide them and they're the one enemy I'll very often ignore rather than engage - unless I have no other choice.

Don't like them, don't like the erratic way they move, don't like the sound they make.


Not big on mole rats either, though that's more for the annoyance factor than being scared of them.

Rad Scorpions can be a problem at low or even mid levels when I don't have the proper tools to one-shot them and it's generally best to skirt around them when I only have a pipe rifle.

Everything else is fair game. Cave Crickets and Flying Ant Swarms have fearsome reputations, but a single VATS shot from stealth with the gauss gun annihilates them, as it does most enemies in this game.

I honestly don't think that most people realise just how ridiculously powerful VATS can be in this game with the right build and gear.

Suiciders are one of my favourite enemies, Wait until they're grouped with other mutants and then BOOM! You can take four, even five out at once with the explosion if you get the timing right.

I have no fear, O think im the only person crazy enough to tackle a SM suicideer, with a blade.

I also think, i'm the only 1 crazy enough to take on the legendary Queen Mirelurk in Far Harbour, after you finish the Dalton questline.

Killed her with a knife an 0HPm without leaving sneak, or caution.

trick with Suiciders is using a low AP weapon like a 10mm or a pipe pistol. As soon as you hear the beeping press tab, take a deep breath ;) select your lowest ap pistol, go vats, spam his arms..

statistically you gonna land at least one hit in 4 shots with 35%.. if it fails.. start running ;)

Suiciders are definitely one of the most instantaneously dangerous (along with anyone using a fat man round the normal way), except for that one night I ran into a legendary super mutant boss carrying a Nocturnal gauss rifle.
