Big Town You're Toast

[gamefever]

So I went over to Big Town and I have to say option 3 "Rule of the Wasteland" seems more like a reasonable response than previously in F03.  Super Mutant's are bad @@@ freaks of weirdness not to be triffled with.  They have DT now and come equipped more often than not with Heavy Weapons of Mass Destruction.  How on earth your going to hold off a wave of Mutants hitting Big Town let  alone how they are going to do that without the lone wanderer is beyond me. 

I did save Big Town with precise Rocket Launcher Strikes but hey when I leave these guys are equipped with pistols ><

I used to reverse pick pocket power armor and powerful weapons into them. Then I placed a minefield outside the town :0

Reverse pickpocketing NPC to buff them out!  Good idea!

 

Mines, shotguns, and a very high gun skill seems to have been working for me.

Tweaked Big Town characters to Essential and changed their gear. I didn't want to lose any of these guys so...

Yeah, I love those kids. I spend the first third of the game collecting loot to reverse pickpocket onto them. Then if you jump on the barrel near the gate guard, you can jump on the roof. Even if I give them power armor, rocket launchers and sniper rifles, the muties throw 1 grenade and some of the kids are crippled for life. Then I reload and kill the muties by myself.

Lore wise, sometimes a trader will say he's heading to Big Town, cause those kids are buying weapons.

Since Super Mutants are really stupid, I just mine the one entrance to Big Town, which happens to be a bottleneck with bottlecap mines.
