Master Fallout 2 melee combat by crippling legs with a sledgehammer and aiming for the head. Learn weapon tactics.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Equip a sledgehammer or Ripper when facing unarmed critters.
  2. 2
    Aim for the enemy's legs to cripple them.
  3. 3
    Once crippled, you can easily score aimed shots to their head and eyes.
Tips
  • Rippers function similarly to sledgehammers for this tactic.
  • A Super Sledgehammer combined with Power Armor is extremely effective against most enemies before encountering the Enclave.
  • Aimed shots with a Super Sledgehammer and Power Armor typically deal around 60 hit points of damage to humans and super mutants.
  • Against armored aliens, the same combination deals approximately 35 hit points of damage.
