Best: Just aim at the head. The entire rat family has a skull related weakness. One shotting the rat god is common with this strategy. | |||

If you have Power Armor, you can just go in and poke them with your spear, or better yet, the Super Sledgehammer. The bad thing about the Power Armor is that the geckos will run away from you when they see you wearing it. | If you have Power Armor, you can just go in and poke them with your spear, or better yet, the Super Sledgehammer.

Best: Nearly all early content can be traversed in the following manner. Use a small AP attack (punch is good) then run away. Many monsters can only move 5 or 6 spaces early in the game. Geckos and Deathclaws specifically. You can fight either of these without taking any damage. With both monster types you must attack their weak points for greatest effect. Geckos are weak in the skull and deathclaws, the eyes. | |||

Make sure that you have Power Armor when you're here; also, make sure that you've got the .44 Magnum and Super Sledgehammer when you're here. Use the .44 Magnum at the eyes on the white Wanamingo. After she has been killed, use the Super Sledgehammer to knock out the other Wanamingos, and then go for targeted shots to the eyes. A Combat Shotgun will deal more damage to the Wanamingos if you aren't able to score that many criticals; however, the .44 Magnum's criticals are a bit stronger. This fight is a lot like the deathclaw fight in Fallout 1, but a bit easier. | Make sure that you have Power Armor when you're here; also, make sure that you've got the .44 Magnum and Super Sledgehammer when you're here.

Best: Again as with prior best suggestions, aiming is key. These monsters are weak in the eyes. They run after being hit there a couple of times. If you have no party members it is actually an easier encounter as you can strike and flee. Fleeing is best when you have a high number of AP/move perk. | |||

Just go up to the crime boss after you've finished his quests and then attack him. His guards will attack you; finish the guards off, and then attack the crime boss. After you've wiped out the guards, you can end combat mode and get SMG's and ammo from the Guards' corpses. You can use the SMG's in burst mode (up close and personal) when you encounter the next wave of guards.

Don't use the laser pistols against Salvatore's guards metal armors - the armor will absorb almost all laser damage. | ||
