Super Mutant Overlords are some of the toughest enemies in Fallout 3, wielding powerful weapons and possessing 2.5 times as much health as a Deathclaw or Sentry Bot.
Weapons
Overlords carry Gatling Lasers, Missile Launchers, Tri-Beam Laser Rifles, and Super Sledges as standard weapons. In a rare case, you may find an Overlord with a Minigun, Assault Rifle, AER9 Laser Rifle, or Chinese Assault Rifle.
If an Overlord picks up a rifle normally used by other Mutants, like a Chinese Assault Rifle, they will use only one hand to fire it.
It appears that they are most commonly equipped with Tri-Beam Laser Rifles as ranged weapons, this can be problematic (especially on higher difficulty levels) since they inflict an extra 40 damage per shot even if you have 85% damage resistance they can still knock off roughly 25% of your health (assuming you have nearly 600 hp) making Overlords exceptionally deadly with this weapon.
Appearances
Super Mutant Overlords appear in the Fallout 3 add-ons Broken Steel and Mothership Zeta.
Notes
- They have a different facial design from Fawkes, Uncle Leo and the default Super Mutant, who all have the same face. They're also a bit more muscular than "normal" Super Mutants.
- The Overlords occasionally may have a Mini Nuke on them. This is just as well considering that Overlords may have in excess of 1000 HP.
- Overlords seem to grant the same XP award as Super Mutant Masters, even though Overlords are much stronger.
- Reverse pick-pocketing does not work on Overlords carrying Tri-Beam Laser Rifles; it is completely possible to reverse pickpocket grenades/mines onto Overlords carrying Gatling Lasers or Super Sledges, however.
- Overlords seem to be more comparable in strength to a Super Mutant Behemoth than to a Master.
Locations
Super Mutant Overlords can appear anywhere where regular Super Mutants appear.
