Super mutant master

Super Mutant Masters are the top tier of the regular-sized Super Mutant enemy class in Fallout 3. They are discernible by their fighter pilot headgear and vest with tubes running the girth of their lower torso.

These are the second toughest super mutants in the game, Only the Super Mutant Overlord is tougher, (Excluding Super Mutant Behemoths, though they never spawn unless in a scripted event) Super Mutant Masters are rarely alone and generally have Super Mutant Brutes or regular Super Mutants nearby. They tend to hang around old Slaver Camps or Abandoned Towns, and they are rarely out in the open. Some reports suggest they may also be found at abandoned Enclave facilities.

Masters usually carry one of the following weapons:


 * Chinese Assault Rifle
 * Super Sledge and Frag Grenades
 * Minigun
 * Missile Launcher

Masters, apart from having some of the strongest weapons Super Mutants can wield, have 3.6 times as much health as a standard Super Mutant, or several times as much health as a normal human combatant. At lower levels, it is difficult to take out a Master without explosives such as the Missile Launcher or Frag Grenades.
