Super mutant master



Super Mutant Masters are a form of Super Mutant found on the East Coast in Fallout 3. These are the hardest generated super mutants in the game - Super Mutant Behemoths will be found but these will never spawn except in scripted encounters. Super Mutant Masters are rarely alone and generally have brutes or regular super mutants nearby. They tend to hand around old Slaver Camps or Abandoned Towns, they are rarely out in the open, (I have found one in what appeared to be a small abandoned Enclave camp before as well.

Masters usually carry one of the following weapons:

A Chinese Assault Rifle,a Minigun,a Missile Launcher and a Super Sledge, note if they carry a super sledge they may also carry a couple of Frag Grenades.

Masters, apart from having the strongest weapons of the Super Mutants, are also the strongest and hardest to kill. At lower levels, it is difficult to take out a Master without explosives such as the Missile Launcher or Frag Grenades.

Tactics that work with the Super Mutant Master is to try and get them alone (this can be done by luring them out of the area they occupy or taking out any surrounding enemies) and try to pick them off at a distance using rocks or trees as possible cover, because most of the time they use Minigun's. Good weapons for taking these beasts out are Missile Launcher's, Fat Man's, Chinese Assault Rifle's, Sniper Rifle's, Combat Shotgun's, or even a Minigun as a taste of their own medicine, having a follower with you like Jericho or Charon is useful as well, most masters have a captive nearby them as well.

Super Mutant Masters should not be confused with The Master.
