Giant radscorpion

s are much larger versions of the Radscorpion with an even more highly effective stinger.

Giant radscorpions often travel and fight in pairs. It's not uncommon to see one turn from the player and back off, only to be joined by another and charge in again. In fact, they seem to operate in pairs most often, only preferring to attack alone when their partner is dead.

Statistics

 * Level: 9
 * Health: 350
 * SPECIAL: 7ST, 6PE, 5EN, 5CH, 5IN, 5AG, 7LK
 * Combat skill: 60
 * Attack damage: 60

Their health is on par with that of a Mr. Gutsy robot or Super Mutant Master. Additionally, giant radscorpions lack a "weak point" that can be targeted for extra damage (they have no "head" to headshot), which makes V.A.T.S. combat and firearms somewhat less effective against them.

Loot

 * Four Radscorpion Poison Glands will be found on a dead giant radscorpion.

Appearances in Fallout games

 * Radscorpions are encountered in all Fallout games.

Bugs
