| grumble, grumble... dumb mutants... |
|
Okay, so I got the water chip and returned it to base. Now that Overseer guy wants me to eliminate the mutants. Okay, my goose has almost been cooked by these guys several times. Anyone have some tips for kicking mutant butts? Their stupid rocket launchers and miniguns take out my people before we can take them down.

Rocket launcher them before they rocket launcher you. 
Or simply snipe them in the eyes. And then run behind cover. Line of sight is your friend... you know how easy it is to get the little red 'x' can't see target message for YOU. It's just as easy for them to get their shot blocked.
Or plant explosives. I loved doing that one in Fallout Tactics. Heh. Anti-tank mine in the guard's path.

Sounds like you're doing pretty well, though - you're a good way in. I've usually got my Small Guns pretty high by the time I have to deal with them (or Energy Weapons towards the end). Generally I don't have too much trouble using head-shots and hit and hide tactics - just don't take too many on at once.

Last time I played it with Taxen, minigun and rocket launchers was the simple solution to the mutie problem. With the Fast Shooter (not sure about the name, but the one that reduces the AP cost for shooting by 1, but you can't aim) trait and Agility 10.
Spoiler:
The yellow forcefields inside Military Base
Either you can blow these up with explosives, or you can use repair on them, it will shut them down for a little while, but doesn't succeed very often.

Fast Shot and Bonus Rate of Fire, should get the AP cost for a rocket launcher to 3, 4 for the minigun. Between those and the Power Armor, you should be okay.
I know there was a way to get another point of the ap costs.

Thanks for the advise guys. I haven't been upping my big guns and energy weapons skills much, so those are out. I've been focusing only on small guns. I guess I'll go explore the rest of the desert and level up some. I still have that quest from those brotherhood guys to do. I'll level some and dump some points into energy weapons or big guns.

Or go for a Sniper Rifle maybe? Having the Bonus Rate of Fire perk and aiming in the eyes should win you a lot of combats from distance.

Small guns are fine if you grab stuff like the Sniper perk, then get a sniper rifle.

I must not be high enough to get that perk yet. But I'll get there.

Hmm... are the magnetic accelerator 'rail' guns in Fallout like Fallout 2? You know... the beautiful coil looking small arms super death rifles? Been a while since I played.
Those are the best small arms in the game in Fallout 2. If anyone had them it would be the Brotherhood...

I don't think that one was in Fallout 1.

If you have a high luck skill you can get an alien-blaster and I think it can kill a mutant in 2 shots (no aiming!).
and if (then) you get the powered armour the mutants will make none-3 damage on you with the miniguns and laser weapons.

Guess it's time to run around the desert looking for this encounter.
