Unarmed supermutants are crap, (also they have 300 hp not 330) yeah they can use energy weapons doesn't mean they are good with them. I'd rather spend a little more for the extra 50 hp and the ability to shoot at a distance. Plus when you're at that point you're pvping against people with lsw and BA and even supermutants can be killed in a couple of shots, and the "cooldown" of replacing them is a hell of a lot longer than grabbing another set of guns and armour and coming back. Plus you can run out of range of mutants as they can only walk, lasers do nothing against metal and plasma has a really low range. Anyone who gives mutants miniguns or rockets are just crazy as the AI is so damn stupid. If bozar with in game there'd be a decent option but no dice.
certain preparations for certain cases. cons are everywhere.dunno why you continue talking about supermutants. you look to often in my avatar picture maybe.btw supermutants are so slow you dont have to open a tread because you start thinking they steal your xp.
