Special Attack (Pip-Boy games)

Special Attacks are a type of area attack performed by select opponents in the Grognak & the Ruby Ruins and Wastelad Pip-Boy games.

The attacks deal high damage to all party members (instead of focusing on one of them), and are almost exclusively reserved to Boss enemies. However, explosive wielding enemies like the Bandit suicider will only perform special attacks, making them quite the challenge to combat.

While the attacks all function in an identical way, some do more damage than others due to the base damage output of the enemy.
