Surviving My First Raid: Tips Needed!

-

Hey everyone! I just wrapped up my very first raid, and while I was initially hesitant due to the terrifying lore about dark creatures dwelling inside the cave, I decided to dive in. Spoiler alert: it was intense! We took down a robot and faced off against some tough enclave warriors. But that ultra magnetic mole miner—wow, what a shocker! I heard he can one-shot you, and if anyone survives, they’re basically favored by the glitch gods of Bethesda. I was fortunate enough to survive it once, but not more than that! Then there was the snake creature. He hits pretty hard too, but at least he’s not a one-shot kill. I did learn the hard way that he can push you into this ultracite lava—turns out I’m not cut out for swimming in toxic goo! For those with more experience, is the mole miner really a one-hit kill? I’d love to test some armor options, but I’d rather avoid dying again. Also, what kind of slayers armor works best against the snake? Should I go with Hunters? Thanks!

Spoilers are a tough call! But yeah, you’re basically in the clear; there are tons of guides online that go deeper into this. I usually roll with a minigun shredder if I know I have to face a mole miner in a tight space—that’s the best chance of staying alive. Also, there’s a power armor perk that gives you a 40% survival chance if you’re in the right setup!

Haha, fair point! You never know who hasn’t ventured in there yet. Thankfully, I didn’t end up cornered, or I would’ve panicked. Is that the power armor reboot perk you’re talking about?

Yeah, the ultra magnetic mole miner is definitely a one-shot machine! The only way to get past him is to stagger him with a melee hit. I always make the mistake of trying to jump over him and it ends badly for me!

That tactic sounds risky! I just lured him toward some ultracite and jet-packed my way to safety after shooting it. I’ll have to try that melee strategy next time—thanks for the tip!
