Giant ants are mutated insects found in the Mojave Wasteland in 2281.
Background
Giant ants are large mutated arthropod insects of the Formicidae family, genus Camponotus, most likely black carpenter ants.[1] Some scientists theorize this mutation comes from the effects of extended exposure to radiation.[2]
Characteristics
Biology
Giant ants are large insects protected by a yellow-brown carapace. They have large mandibles which they use to both hunt and protect themselves. The long antennae they have sprouting out of their head act like sensors, allowing them to take in more information about their immediate environment.
Gameplay attributes
These creatures can be a bit of a problem in early stages of the game. Hitting their antennae will count towards a critical hit and will also frenzy them. Like their east-coast brethren, they are not particularly swift, and can easily be out-walked if the player prefers to engage them at range. Since they have no Damage Threshold, it is a good choice to use a low-damage, high DPS weapon.
Variants
Giant soldier ant
The largest and strongest variant of the more common giant ant variants. This ant can be found accompanying smaller ants as they forage. Several can be found inside the Allied Technologies offices building.

Giant worker ant
What they lack in individual fortitude, they make up for with relentless attacks and swarm tactics. However, a worker ant's exoskeleton isn't particularly hard compared to radscorpions. Their mandibles can cut through most leather and plastic with ease, even snapping bone on a lucky shot.
Giant worker ants can usually be found in barren stretches of desert in the Mojave such as the Ivanpah race track or Ivanpah Dry Lake. They usually walk around in groups, presumably looking for food.

Giant ant queen
The giant ant queen (or fire ant queen) is the largest creature in the Mojave Wasteland. Only one giant ant queen appears in Fallout: New Vegas, located in the ant mound south of the Allied Technologies offices and Camp McCarran, or north-west of REPCONN headquarters.

Notes
- The ants at the Nellis array will explode when shot with energy weapons, due to their consumption of munitions.
- One can observe ants walking in lines, much like worker ants in reality.
- When near the Virgin Fork Campground, Follows-Chalk says giant ants are called "picnic-killers". He doesn't know why and says it's probably from "back when".
- The ant queen found in Fallout: New Vegas is much less durable than her Fallout 3 counterparts.
Appearances
Giant ants appear in Fallout 2, Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, the Nuka-World add-on for Fallout 4, Fallout 76, Fallout Shelter, and Fallout: Wasteland Warfare.
Bugs
Sometimes when using Explosives or Unarmed methods to attack the player won't damage the ant. [verified]- Giant ant queens are meant to carry both ant queen pheromones and a variable amount of ant eggs, but due to a missing property in their "death items" list, there is only a very small percentage chance of one or the other being found.
