Fallout 4’s Toughest Enemies and How to Kill Them

Dealing With Ghouls

Ghouls are those shriveled up, highly aggressive enemies you tend to encounter in dark alleyways and lower levels of caves and other establishments. They are very fast and rely on quick, irradiated strikes. One may seem simple enough to take down, but Fallout 4 almost never throws only one at you. These guys can be vicious when facing a number of them, but luckily their limbs are easy to take out.

Using pretty much any weapon (including weak ones such as a pipe pistol), aim directly for the legs. If you can take out a Ghoul’s leg it is no longer a threat, even if it’s a strong one. It will lay helplessly on the floor until you walk up and put it out of its misery.
