I need help on Fallout 3 vault 87

Post » Sun Jul 04, 2010 7:16 am

I am stuck on this part, there are 3 super mutant masters, 3 super mutant overlord, and 2 super mutant brutes. The brutes and masters I can handle, its the Overlords that are the problem. I shoot 2 rockets at the overlord and it barely niks him How the hell do I beat them all? The shotgun does [censored] to them, i'm really pissed at gamesas for putting all of them there. I mean i'm trying to cloak my way past going slow as possible but they still somehow notice me. What is the point of invisibility if they can still see you even in pitch black dark? Any help?

Uh. . .what are your character's strengths? What's in your inventory? Have tried sneak attacks?

Have you tried using mines and backtracking? Have you reached Fawkes? Use him as a bullet sponge.

I have Chinese stealth armor, the Brotherhood armor, the alien distinguisher, combat shotgun, mini-gun, missile launcher, and a whole bunch of other stuff, I took out all the brutes and 2 of the masters, now I only have 1 master and 2 overlords.

If you have stealth boys you can sneak attack, and then re-stealth after discovered, and then sneak attack again. If you have the silent running perk, you should be able to slip past them un-noticed regardless.

None of the weapons you have sound very powerful. Missle launcher included. If you have an earlier save, get a lincoln repeater, the terrible shotgun, or the god-like alien blaster if you still can't get through. Or just run all the way to Fawks and let him take them out.

I'd just fight them by attrition. Take a few shots, then run away and cloak. Then repeat, prehaps mining your path of retreat. Remeber that the sneak suit gives very little protection, so swap it out for the power armor if attacked.

Shoot the Overlords weapons out of their hands then attach them with your weapon of choice. If you can retrieve one of their Tri Beam Lasers, use it on them. With any Energy Weapons skill at all, you'll be able to down them with a couple of headshots.

IT worked, I killed both overlords and the master, you don't know how much I love you right now :)

Lay a path of Bottlecap mines, it puts a seriouse dent in them.

if you have the chinese stealth armor or several stealth boys, go into sneak mode and use silent weapons which includes grenades. i guess you underestimated the nasties. first couple of times playing, you might have trouble. but once you know what you are up against and what it takes to kill them all, it becomes a piece of cake taking out 50 pointer nasties.
