You know when you hear that Beep beep beep sound coming at you full throttle that it's about to get real lol I find them annoying but it's a change from just plain ole super mutants . I'm glad bethesda stepped it up with the NPC's New ghouls, Deathclaws and vamped up mutated characters I love it !

try having 3 come at you from 3 different directions...

I find that they are a good source to get mini-nukes.

suicider mutants really make my day go from good to bad fast

Well the silver lining is when it goes bad, your day wont last much longer.

(I agree I like the new looks and abilities of the mutants, mmm maybe they went a tad over board with the molerats stripped a lot of cute and added a lot of dam it went underground frustration)

Three suiciders were coming at me from one of the hospitals. Shot the nuke on one and it took the other two down.

Suicider explosion does not hurt you if you are in vats. definitely a bug.

I like them. You can easily shoot them down and they gift you with mininukes. If you hear the beep, sprint away some distance and watch. My only problem is that I'm unfortunately good in hitting the nuke accidentally.

Jet is your friend. They have a giant beeping bullseye in front of them. With jet it makes them very easy to kill. I myself like Physco jet+super sledge +vats with melee character, I will say it takes some... Fortitude though to get use to running up to them and smacking them. But soon they just become very easy to handle. And can help take out hordes of others .

I love throwing molotovs at them.

Even better when his friend are running together chasing me.

Mod your armor with anything that reduces explosive damage, such as the Dense mod, suiciders become a non issue at that point, even for meleers.

@acegoober i too had the same situation with 3 of them coming at you all at once or when they come at you inside a building and u have nowhere to go because it's just walls behind u ..worst than that you didnt recently save ... and u have to start from when you entered in the building most of the time it happens to me after i beat a legendary lol I'm not saying they are hard to beat strategic wise to me they are just a nuisance. I'd rather be kicking someone's a** ....

??

I love those suiciders. Its like free candy, and who doesn't like that? All you need to decide is if you want the bomb they are carrying, or to let atom smite those who would contain his glow.

or when one is above you

i LOVE those, just shoot their arm and they let you kill a lot of their friends

I let my companion be my meat shield...

I've never been killed by one, but as soon as I hear one while I'm engaged in combat I just start running. I'm like "Oh [censored] oh [censored] oh [censored]" until I hear them explode. They make things exciting.


Those molerats with the bombs strapped to them though. Those things are no joke.

They certainly do provide some (more) excitement.

Yes - I like them too, even if they are a bad joke...

Sometimes there are fights - Supermutants vs Creatures of the wild. I think the survival fitness of Supermutants cannot be very good, if they are willing to sacrifice one of their own, plus Supermutant bystanders and a valuable mini nuke to kill a Bloatfly

Clinically depressed Super Mutants are my favorites. I can kill half a dozen mutants with one shot

...Wait, i got it wrong, they aren't depressed, they hate super mutants and try to take as many with them as they can.

I love those. They remind me the AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGHHH Serious Sam suiciders lol

Recently stuck my head in a train carriage south of Gunner's Plaza.

Heard the SM voice, heard the annoying beep in my ears, seconds later, I was no where near them.

Between 7 END and 10 AGL, I got Action points for days to handle them. They are only scary if you start hearing them in a confined space.

Confined space or they jump you at a corner. Otherwise, you do tend to have all the time in the world to deal with them.

That still gives you one direction to run like hel..... I mean make a tactical retreat.
