What's Happening in YOUR Randomly-generated Apocalypse?

Thanks to some asshole that laid down a few landmines in the middle of an empty field, my shopping cart that was crammed full of random crap is now destroyed, with it’s contents littering a nice 10x10 tile area…

There’s a minefield NW to my Evac Shelter, next to the river, near the road to the Megastore. I learned the hard way what the constant explosions were the first three days and why little rodents had bruised corpses all over the place. Had to get a new pair of jeans. Stopped going that way in favor of the road which is right next to it. It was smart too as two more explosions were heard and it’s now Summer. Wouldn’t want to lose my wooden javelin wielding maniac.

I have turned into a bionic spider-freak who drives a souped-up humvee with a fusion gun mounted on it.
Also have a ton of MREs in it and ammo/guns.

I now have a school bus covered in wooden armor and blades. Inside, I have my insane collection of pickled food, which gets added to every time I run over a triffid/bear/moose/coyote.

At least you didn’t lose it altogether, which was the case in the past.

I needed to find a serum to cross a treshold, so i went into a lab. I found pretty much every single serum except the one i was looking for. Suddenly. “TEKELI-LI!”. “Oh well, i doubt even shoggoth’s can survive my mad combat skills.”. fires the whole m4a1 magazine due to “trigger happy”. Most of the bullets hit, but the shoggoth is shown as “uninjured”. I save scummed in order to survive .___.

FunsizeNinja123 · 2014-05-17T12:35:19.000Z

Yeah. I thought my bionic char with super weapons could take it on. After a few minutes of shooting it point-blank with a shotgun, emptying about 100 9mm rounds into it, boxing martial art with monomolecular blade, it was still uninjured. I locked it back in the little room it was in.

Whoever says that you can kill a Shoggoth with anything less than a mininuke is bullshitting you.

The answer lies in carrying two 870 shotguns. Be adjacent to it; shoot, wait a turn, repeat, switch to other shotgun, repeat. Takes like 9 shots.

Or you can use a Saiga if you reduce its recoil to 0 or less

Has anyone said anything to get Shogoths nerfed?

FunsizeNinja123 · 2014-05-17T19:25:35.000Z

Nope.

John_Candlebury · 2014-05-17T19:26:32.000Z

Nope that method has always worked.

Anyways if you meant a different thing, you will only fight shoggoths if you WANT to, because as far as I am concerned, they only spawn contained in (empty) lab rooms.

Can find 'em (rarely) in slime pits, too. But yeah, you’re still kinda off the beaten path.

Dec · 2014-05-17T19:28:29.000Z

Wait… why do people fight them then? I haven’t, I’ve just heard they’re OP.

I had a case of bad luck(or a bug or a stupid NPC releasing it) then - it was in the living quarters of the lab ;__;

John_Candlebury · 2014-05-17T19:30:25.000Z

Because prestige points of course :D. Also because some of us like doing that kill every spawning monster type challenge.

system · 2014-05-17T19:37:58.000Z

What I always do when it comes to shoggoths is either

A: Bugger off

B: Bugger off and come back with explosives

C: Tank that fucker and slice its many eyes out with flechettes at point blank.
