Albino radscorpion

The  is a new type of Radscorpion is added to Fallout 3 in the Broken Steel DLC pack. It is far more resistant to attacks than the Giant Radscorpion, and deals far greater damage. They are the same size as Giant Radscorpions and still drop 4 Radscorpion Glands, but are milky-white in appearance and have red eyes instead of green.

Tactics
Though the Albino Radscorpion appears similar to the Giant Radscorpion, it in fact has much more health and seems to do significantly more damage. When encountered, they use similar tactics as a Giant Radscorpion--i.e., rush their unfortunate victim--and they have a similar weakness: they must be in melee range in order to do any damage. Backpedaling is of some use, however, the Albino Radscorpion appears to be faster than the player.

That said, their huge health pools must be taken into account when attacking an Albino Radscorpion. Good tactics to use to mitigate damage done are to cripple limbs--either with a Dart Gun or Railway Rifle so as to decrease its damage potential. Because of its long melee range, however, care must be taken to insure that the defender is not charged. Sniping from afar, especially with a weapon with a knock-back effect like a Gauss Rifle or the Victory Rifle, is also effective.
