Create a Fallout force to kill an Astartes

Create a team or group of characters from Fallout to kill an Ultra Marine equipped with a Bolter and Chain Sword.


Rules) No main characters/protagonists, can be side characters and nameless NPC's/named NPC's but can't be a protagonist.

Scenario 1) Pre War FO Factions/Individuals only
Scenario 2) Post War FO Factions/Individuals only
Scenario 3) Anything goes.




Personally I would go with three Sentry Bots with Laser Miniguns and Grenade Clusters, and a team of Turbo Implant enhanced commando's in MK II Stealth Armor using Plasma Weapons and Grenades and Stealth boys.

Archimedes seems kinda slow with the charge up, they're gonna have to out stealth a Spacemarine which might prove difficult with out a distraction.
While slow if you can get them in the right place at the right time it is possible, buy yes it will need a distraction and even a mini-nuke barrage might not be enough.

Hmm idk, mini nukes are pretty powerful in the lore. And by scaling they're supposed to be more powerful than this
Davy Crockett (nuclear device) - Wikipedia

Which is why they use a spring system irc. It's payload was too heavy for a traditional rocket.

Edit: I don't see even Terminator Armor surviving a direct hit lol

Terminator can survive thanks to it's Shielding. Especially if it has a Storm Shield.

The very weakest I can think of is 1-10 people with the sniper perk, greater criticals perk, and a BB gun.
0 hit criticals can still cause instant death.

Multi Gigawatt laser vs Astartes Armor anyone?

I don't know how trustworthy a broken robot with faulty AI is!
I see no reason why it would lie about it's yield

🤷

Face mounted las cannons pretty impressive nonetheless, starting to think Fall Out is not too far behind 40k in ground combat tech.

It's a bout consistency, a single gigawatt is basically 230 kilograms of TNT, and that robot is suggesting multiple gigawatts.

That's far in excess of ANY fallout weapon with the exception of behemoths like the giant robo scorpion and liberty prime, which make sense because they're huge.

If Assaultrons had multi-gigawatt lasers, everyone in fallout would be ripping them apart to turn them into laser fatmans.

It's already a weapon in the game tho lol

Somehow I knew this one was going to be brought up.
The weapon is pretty ineffective ingame, with standard guns and lasers doing more DPS.
Does this indicate that the humble 10mm auto pistol is secretly a howitzer?

Nope but it does counter your argument people would be using it as a weapon if it was multi-gigawatt

Well...they are soooo multi gigawatt confirmed?

There's only one in the game, added by a DLC, and it's not even a proper functioning weapon because it poisons its user because whoever made it just ripped a head off and added a pistol grip. It shouldn't even be able to function because the damned power source cannot possibly fit in the head.

Show me people ripping out the laser parts, adding it to a gatling laser chassis with fusion core, and laser beaming the commonwealth into ash.

1. It uses fusion cores for ammo, apparently it fits somehow. Poisoning the user doesn't contradict multi gigawatt claim tho.

2. I don't have to because it has no bearing on the Assaultron's laser being multi gigawatts lol

It uses fusion CELLS for ammo, big difference.

Its severe weakness only suggests assaultron lasers are weaker than depicted ingame, not stronger.

Ah yeh Fusion Cell.

Not really, Assaultron Head is used in 76 for a quest as well almost over a hundred years before the events of 4.
Polly's Assaultron head

Doesn't suggest it's weaker tho if anything it supports the notion considering it can while severely damaged still vaporize people into ash.

None of that remotely has any canonical information, Fallout 76 has got to be one of the least canon games in the franchise, outside of, what? BoS?
