The Enclave Commander at Navarro is a formidable opponent, often encountered when trying to steal the Vertibird plans or Power Armor. He is typically found in the main office or hangar, surrounded by well-armed Enclave soldiers.
Phases & Weaknesses:
- Initial Encounter: He will likely be hostile if you're caught trespassing or attempting to steal.
- Combat Phase: The Commander is usually equipped with advanced energy weapons and power armor. He has high HP and damage resistance. He will also have several Enclave soldiers as backup.
Strategy:
- Clear Minions First: Focus on eliminating the regular Enclave soldiers first. They can quickly overwhelm you with their numbers and firepower.
- Target Weak Points: Aim for the Commander's eyes or head for critical hits. Energy weapons are generally effective against power armor.
- Use Cover: Utilize the environment for cover to reduce incoming damage.
- Companions: Have your companions draw fire and deal damage. Equip them with your best gear.
- Explosives: Grenades or rockets can be effective against groups of soldiers or to soften up the Commander.
- Chems: Jet and Psycho can give you the edge needed to survive and deal enough damage.
This fight can be very challenging, especially if you're under-geared. Consider using stealth to thin out the numbers before a direct confrontation, or try to lure enemies into chokepoints. Retreat and heal if necessary.
