This. Great against suiciders, grenades, and misiles.
Ah, my favorite fast-travel spot.
Made a note to never do that again.
They are useful if you're being hounded by ghouls or similar, just run past the Suicider to get his attention and keep going, he'll head straight for the nearest threat. ie: Whatever is pursuing you.
Especially useful against Charred or Gangrenous ghouls.
Dogmeat makes short work of them,.....good thing he is immune to nuclear blasts.
Poor little dogmeat.
If they start getting close I run and let my companion take the damage otherwise it's a free mini nuke
I love that sound. Took 3 off some ugly fools, in a row, the other day. My nuke arsenal is getting impressive, I'll have to go blow some off.
There are at least two locations where suiciders just sit outside a building, waiting to be sniped. I normally pick them off during my settlement round-robin trips. I must have about 30 mini-nukes by now; no idea what I'm going to do with them all....
I'd have to say that Super Mutants are my least-favorite/most-hated enemies of the entire game (I hate them more than Feral Ghoul mobs, so that's saying a lot for me). But the suiciders are incredibly annoying. It took me little while on my first character to find out how to effectively kill them, but even when I know how to do it now, it becomes frustrating when they get too close, or you run out of AP. At least...if you are lucky, you can blow them up and take several more Super Mutants out with him!
My character was taking on a small group of Super Mutants which included a Suicider. She was hiding behind a bridge stanchion waiting for one to come around the corner. When he did she got a dead-on head shot with her shotgun. The camera then switched around to show her getting the shot and also showed a Suicider standing right behind her at the same time. Filthy bounder!!
