Ant (Fallout 4)

Ants are creatures that appear in the Fallout 4 add-on Nuka-World.

Biology
Unlike their West Coast counterparts, the species of ants found around Nuka-World are relatively small, with larger specimens being around the same size as a medium-large sized radroach. Large and small forager ants make up the bulk of their colonies, while soldier ants guard them to apply defense. Small, flight-enabled swarms also exist and act together as if by a hive mind in the group.

All in all, ants are not a serious threat, only being dangerous when swarming the player character due to encroachment of their territories.

Gameplay attributes
Ants can be found around ant nests, some walking outside while others may be sitting on the nest.

Ants are almost always found in groups consisting of both flying and normal ants. They do not pose a very big threat, as they do little damage.

Flying ant swarm
The flying ant swarm consists of a tight cluster of many small flying ants. Though each individual ant in the swarm has a relatively small amount of health (often being killed in a single hit), all ants in the swarm contribute to the total health bar. This necessitates killing all ants present in the swarm to completely neutralize it. While the flying ant swarm is a nuisance at best when encountered alone, it can prove to be problematic when encountered together with other ant varieties.

Appearances
Ants appear only in the Fallout 4 add-on Nuka-World.

Bugs
Every individual of a flying ant swarm can be killed, and yet the swarm still exist as a threat and in VATS, despite actually no longer having the ability to harm the player. If this is the case, the buzzing audio will still play, and fight music, and benches can't be used. If targeted in VATS, the gun points at nothing, and it is impossible to fire at anything. If this happens, the only solution besides reloading from a previous save is to leave the immediate area, as the swarm will not follow far.
