Forum:Best way to take out Overlords (your opinion).

I have noticed that the overlords in the new DLC Broken Steel are in fact stronger than the masters by a great margin. I was wondering what you believe or what your favorite method of disposing of them is (other than the MIRV of Fat Man).--Orionthefree 00:40, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Gauss rifle. You can usually reload before they can get up, and hitting them while they're on the ground seems to knock them back down again. And make sure you disarm them, especially if they're in a group.Imp of the Perverse 05:14, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Distract them with a sexual innuendo like stripping off all your armor. discard your weapon and advance towards them with your fist out -- insinuating you mean no harm. When approaching them they'll be utterly defenseless, totally succumbing to your arousing features.. then right about as you engage in erotic foreplay, PUNCH EM' IN THE FACE, and they'll die. that's how you do it.

 * Now THAT is a strategy... However, I prefer to give them a nicely wrapped Nuka-Grenade instead, while yelling: "Surprise!" AngryNorwegianDude 14:19, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

Immediately grow a clean cut, but mountainous mustache. Put on a bowler hat, clean suit, and a monocle. Stuff your face with cigarettes. DO IT FAGGOT. Their hearts will stop as soon as you utter the line...

I love slapping down a bottlecap mine, taking a few steps back and watching them run towards me. Same as with deathclaws. Makes you feel powerful. You can even pretend you did it with your mind powers. 90.201.91.94 01:33, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Metal Blaster+VATS+Their Tri-beam = win. Gabriel Cortez 16:42, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
 * You actually use the Metal Blaster IN VATS? Why? Why waste such a beautiful weapon on something as terrible as VATS? The Metal Blaster actually fires 9 beams per shot, and all nine of the beams check to see if you roll critical hit when you're free-firing... but when you're in VATS, the Blaster only checks once. The result? If you have a fully repaired Blaster and 100% Energy Weapons skill and you score a critical hit in VATS, you deal 82 damage. If you free-fire, you can score up to 9 critical hits, which would result in... 298 damage. Sneak Attacks automatically cause all 9 beams to critical, and Sneak Criticals deal double damage, which means 596 damage for a single shot (or over 350% the damage of a VATS sneak critical). And this is even before Better Criticals is factored into the equation. Even when you aren't getting ludicrous criticals, with a decent crit% (say, 10%), you're going to average 63 damage per shot in VATS and 91.5 damage per shot outside of VATS- and again, this is with an average critical chance and before Better Criticals. If you just like VATS, A3-21's Plasma Rifle is a much better choice than the Metal Blaster. Some Sort 06:38, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

Depending on my mood, if I encounter a lone Overlord I might unload an obscene amount of 5.56 ammo into him with the Perforator (if you stay a reasonable distance away and in sneak mode, the Overlord will enter Caution mode, but never Danger), or else I might sneak close for a non-VATS Metal Blaster/Terrible Shotgun sneak attack critical (which takes off 2/3s of their life or more). If the Overlord is with friends, I just lob a few Nuka Grenades in their direction. Some Sort 06:38, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

One mini nuke for you, and I get all your stuff.--Master of cheeZ 21:27, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

All you have to do is take out your weapon and then get close to them. Eventually when you are close enough run around in circles around them so they have to turn around to kill you but by they  turn around you are on the otherside of them and their dead. I usually do this with a shikebaeb so they lose health while i am getting around them. paladin Mike
