How to Kill Assaultron
You need to strategize to be able to kill, or not to be killed by the formidable Assaultron in Fallout 76. Let's take a look at the best strategies:
Use Long-Range Weapons
Assaultrons are deadliest up close with their melee attacks. Use automatic rifles or other long-range guns to pick them off from a distance before they get near you.
Shoot the Legs
While heavily armored on top, their legs are a weak point. Cripple the legs to slow the robots down and keep them from closing distance.
Watch for Explosions
Even when blown apart, Assaultrons have one last trick - making their power core go critical for a huge explosion like a mini-nuke. Stay back and make sure they're disabled before moving in.
