I don’t mess with chicken walkers if I can avoid it at all. I’ve definitely killed one with a nuclear warhead before just to be safe.

Be careful, chicken walkers have a unique anti-hacking system that sooner or later detects it and reboots them.

Good to know. Looks like it gets to be the test dummy for the EMP launcher I found next to its roadblock, then.

[Turtleoverlord]

Chicken walkers are actually over powered in my opinion,they should atleast be hackeable

[Walegrin]

Could someone please remind me how to get NPC’s to take mutagen?

[Invalid_Username]

“Use this item” command. For serums, they need a syringe in their inventory.

[Walegrin]

Many thanks! The NPC may not be as appreciative though.

So I just installed a turbolaser turret on my car and it absolutly vaporize zombies.

• Is there a way, aside from ear plug and such, to no be deafened by the gun ?
• How much damage does the explosion actually do ?

Is there a way, aside from ear plug and such, to no be deafened by the gun ?

A helmet with "PARTIAL_DEAF" flag resists DEAF status. Power armors has this flag.

How much damage does the explosion actually do ?

  }

It has no detailed explosion data, only "EXPLOSION" effect flag. But its ranged damage is very high, so any critters it hits is sure to vaporize

[crazykiddeath]

I don’t know the exact damage but from experience the only zombie that lasts more then one shot is a skeleton juggernaut, it lasts two…

[Fris0uman]

Thanks for your answers
But what about the explosions itself ? Do you have some idea about the damage the blast does to surrounding creatures ?

[Axema]

Do you have some idea about the damage the blast does to surrounding creatures ?

I think its explosion power is the same with grenades, but without the shrapnel damage

I found myself in a lab library with no obvious way to access the rest of the floor. Since alternate routes from other floors had turrets guarding them, I figured the only safe way to access the rest of the floor was to break down the library doors with a pickaxe. I did so and found a terminal on the other side to open the doors.

Can I safely assume breaking down computer-locked doors with a pickaxe won’t alert security?

[Invalid_Username]

You can, last I checked. At least, I break doors with a pickaxe all the time and don’t ever see secubots showing up because of it. Now, trying to access Melchior with 15 Int and 8 Computers, on the other hand…

[QuietCoyote]

What explosives do damage to strxutures? I’ve tried using 2 dynamites to blow down a metal door and it has done nothing to the surroundsing (in a lab of course)

[Axema]

Try a C-4, its power can break down non-metallic walls

[QuietCoyote]

Thanks bro, btw is there an easy way to get rocks in a lab? It’s not like I can’t go outside and smash some boulders, I’m just lazy…

[Invalid_Username]

Break the chain-link fences in some sections and you’ll occasionally get a roof collapse.

[QuietCoyote]

Are some tools not allowed to be converted to nuclear power? I’ve tried moding some LL Amp goggles and it still says I need batteries for them…

[monny]

Are NPCs opinion of you affected at all by stylish clothing?

[mlangsdorf]

No, but they probably should be.
