Giant radscorpion

Giants are simply a much larger Radscorpion with a highly poisonous stinger.



Giant Radscorpions

 * These creatures deal 40 damage every 5 seconds. They have no known weak spots, however using a weapon such as the Victory Rifle or even the Sniper Rifle will often result in a critical hit, sometimes even knocking the Giant Radscorpion on it's back briefly.


 * 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 together often, only preferring to attack alone when their partner is dead.


 * They also seem to be less susceptible to the effects crippled legs. They are very fast for their size, and even with their legs crippled, they can catch up to the player very quickly.

Strategy

 * One effective strategy against Giant Radscorpions is to find a boulder or tree to run around while dispensing mines.


 * Another strategy is to use a Missile Launcher at a distance to soften them up (one or two missiles should do) and then finish them off with an energy or plasma based weapon.


 * It has been reported that Giant Radscorpions do appear more often at higher levels.

Loot

 * 4 Radscorpion Poison Glands are found upon death, as opposed to the usual one.

Appearances in Fallout games

 * Radscorpions can be encountered in all Fallout games.
