Giant ant queen

There are only three s in Fallout 3. There is one in the Corvega Factory, one in Marigold Metro Station and one in Shalebridge.

Tactics

 * Laying down three or four Bottlecap Mines should deal a lot of damage.


 * s are relatively slow, a poison dart can slow them down even more.


 * Use a nice ranged weapon like the Victory Rifle or a Missile Launcher and aim for her head.


 * If you're an unarmed or melee character, just get behind her and run around her so she's never facing you while repeatedly hitting her abdomen.


 * If you shoot her abdomen it does the most damage.


 * One shot from the Fat Man in V.A.T.S. mode should kill her
 * If the player has the Chinese Stealth Armor and a stealthy weapon such as the Deathclaw Gauntlet, the queen can be killed while the armor's stealth field is up. As long as the weapon is silent, it won't be enough to fully alert the ants of your presence (i.e. your status will go to 'Caution' but not to 'Danger').
 * If antenna cripples (use V.A.T.S.), other giant ant will start to combat with her dealing A LOT of damage (verified on PC).
