Talk:Radscorpion (Fallout: New Vegas)

Instead of listing e.g. 70↔80 HP for the regular radscorpion, the table should be split into separate rows for versions with different stats, like e.g. at centaur (Fallout: New Vegas). Ausir(talk) 00:53, April 29, 2011 (UTC)

Grand Scorpions
The listing for Grand Scorpions says the minimum hp for these are 130. Is that always correct? I have now twice attempted to get the New Vegas Samurai in The thorn by Fighting three time Grand Radscorpions 33 times. That would be the same as 33*3*130 = 12.870 points of damage. But it was not enough. My followers were outside, waiting, so they did not do any of the damage. And no, I have not cheated in my game so achievements are locked. The second time over I got so frustrated with this that I went to the White Glove society and killed just about the entire ground floor. And then these two things combined got me the achievement unlocked. So does Grand Scorpions have less HP in the Thorn? --Kilroy1975 10:06, June 18, 2011 (UTC)--122.106.24.69 10:05, June 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * Most creatures have quite different statistics in the Thorn than in the wild. The Thorn versions are listed on some creature pages (see Nightstalker) but not others yet. --Actreal 01:01, June 19, 2011 (UTC)

Glitched Corpses So Annoying (PC)
Man am I ever getting sick of seeing the corpses of radscorpions glitch out and follow me all over the place. They can pop up at any random time for no reason at all glitching out, their model stretching and spazzing out all over the place. I was doing Helios ONE yesterday and one somehow spawned below me in the rafters and started stretching from the ground as high as where I was standing on the platform. That was the worst case I've ever seen. Anyone else get this? Maybe it's just one of those bugs specific to my video card. --an0my(talk) 19:54, October 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * I do have the same problem (nvidia card). For instance they often stretch from the valley behind Goodspring Cemetery to the Goodspring fast travel point (that's like 200 meters or more). After some time the bodies transfer to Goodsprings entirely, and again after some time they start to appear alive (respawn) at the Goodsprings, because of the known bug/feature with enemies respawning near their body. They tend to multiplicate, after about 2 in-game years I had four giant radscorpions respawning every three days or so after fastravelling to Goodpsring (which is my base of operation usually). It's not only annoying, it is dangerous, because they can kill Goodspring dwellers, including Trudy (which is one of few characters who buy 1:1), or the player/followers. Radscorps are too heavy to move by hand, though it is sometimes possible to catapult them using even light weapons - but it's unreliable. I was getting nervous when travelling, and finally decided to use console. What you can do is click on the body when console is opened, and use "zap" command. The body will be gone. As with other console uses, to re-enable achievements the game needs to be restarted (after saving, of course).--Saiko Kila 10:48, October 4, 2011 (UTC)

Radscorpion "Head"
Despite what the article says about radscorps having no head, they do have a head equivalent, which is their stinger. Crippling it counts as crippling a head for challenge "A matter of Perception" for example. I'm not sure if the stinger allows for more damage, but I think so, because I always kill them fastest aiming for the stinger. Maybe because it's easiest to shoot. --Saiko Kila 10:34, October 4, 2011 (UTC)
