Killing Frank Horrigan(hard combat, hard difficulty, no companions, no turrents, no enclave help)

I spend over a hour doing this crap


There's two phases to my strategy. The first strategy is just to survive all the damage the turrents and frank horrigan can throw at you, until his ammo in his big boss plasma gun runs out. In the first turn, take your drugs, then break the turrent with the powerfist behind you until it breaks, and finally run into the corner. Inbetween turns heal/shoot the turrents until they are all dead, you can play hide and seek with the turrents so only one or two can shoot you at a time, don't stay in the open. Don't shoot frank until he runs out of ammo. Then the second phase happens when he's forced to use his knife, then you can sock his groin to get him down, then start crippling his limbs. At this point if you've killed his turrents and stay away from the door so the other enclave members can't shoot you through it, you've pretty much already won the fight, but he can always get a lucky crit and do half your health. His gun will one shot you with a crit, the max amout of damage its done to me in a single hit was 322, and that was double my max health.


I'm not a classic fallout build optimist, this was from my blind playthrough of 2, but using the turrents are for wimps who are afraid to fight.
