From the Wiki page: There's a drifter on the first level who appears to be insane. She talks to the mole rats in the area, calling them "ratties," and apparently considers them to be her comrades. She is not initially hostile, but if she sees any of the mole rats attacking you, she will join them.

Can confirm. In fact if you can kill the mole rats without being detected, she will never turn hostile unless you attack her.

Neat!

Does she let you play Gambit?

“*Alright alright alright*! **I’m** on the field. Hope you brought me some motes”

Istg every other games subreddit has a destiny reference somewhere, gotta love it. EDIT: just now noticed we all have destiny characters as well lmao

Bank for a big blocker

Guess that explains it because there’s no way I could stealthily kill the mole rats on my power armour Gatling laser and Curie in X-01 with a plasma rifle Character LoL

It's funny how the NPC's yell out "evasive maneuver" for everyone to hear when they're trying to be 'stealthy'. Lol

The mole rats are her protection/pets/friends. I remember this location but I can’t remember if she turned hostile. I believe she did after fighting the mole rats

Lol. The exploding molerats, classic.

I HATE those little bastards. Almost always get killed by the one near where Ack-Ack is.

Near *what*?

Ack ack, named bandit with a mini gun in the USAF satellite station Olivia between sanctuary and ten pines bluff. ... I might have played this game too much

Oh that’s her name? I completely forgot about that dude, thanks. Edit: mistake

Not that it particularly matters, but I too know more than I should. And can say that Ack-Ack is always a girl

Wow I really don’t pay attention do I? My mistake lmao

Wow look at you! Like a walking Fallout wiki over there

r/ACK

They have explosives attached to them, it confused me when I first stumbled onto this

It's the gatlinglaser it's base game but it's not very strong and requires fusion cores.but you can download a mod or two to buff it.

Umm Gatling laser is quite possible the best non legendary gun except for the handmade rifle . With charging barrels it puts out a lot of punishment my bos character used a Gatling laser Party starter Big Boy and the Sentinels Plasma caster primary is Gatling laser he was unkillable by end game. Gatling laser is ridiculous

I've never really used one (weight, accuracy, etc) until the other day when I started using the Feral Nights mod. And then realized I had a Ghoul Slayer gatling.... oh man, good times

[удалено]

I’m pretty sure the quartermaster on the prydwen has some mods

He has. Visited him last week on my latest playthrough.

I’m using Aeternus from nuka world it’s very powerful

Aeternus from Nuka World

If you have Wasteland Whisperer she won’t turn hostile and have a unique like line where she’ll acknowledge the fact that, like her, the mole rats aren’t attacking you

Really? Never knew that

You broke into her house and killed her pets and expected her not to turn hostile?!? Who do you think you are, the police?

Fun fact: if you assassinate all the rats without her noticing, she will not turn hostile when she sees you.

I know the answer has already been posted, but my first thought was she started shooting because a couple of tanks just walked through her back door. I'd probably shoot at you too!

You shot mr. splodypants

You named those freaks??

I stumbled into this place last night for the first time. I have 700 hours in the game too. Scared the shit out of me when I heard the frag mines beeping.

I have 2300 hours 🤣

you shot the molerate, which, for lore reasons, share the same faction as the drifter, listen to what she says, or read the wiki

If you sneak up to her without the molerats spotting you then she won't attack but I dont think you get anything special

Well 3 considerations: 1 if someone barges into your hole there is a 9/10 chance it's some raider or other hostile creature, so it's self-preservation as much as anything else. 2 She may be caught off-guard and therefore unwilling to deal with explaining why exactly she's strapping explosives to mole rats, believing you are there to stop her. 3 Mole rats are her friends, and she will die fighting with her friends. (Though why is she suicide-vesting them...)

Where is this?

Next to Greenetech.

Pardon my ignorance but I have never stumbled upon this place in all of my time playing this game. Where is this at?

Near Greenetech

Why not? *I'd* shoot you on sight...coming into my home with that clunky armor...I mean just *who* do you think you are?! 😃

Gatling lasers really make me feel nostalgia for FO3 gatling lasers. I went right to the Deathclaw Sanctuary as soon as I was strong enough to survive a trek in and out to get that damn legendary. So good.

I don’t know, but I admire her courage considering her firepower vs yours.

True haha

I got super confused, I forgot Drifter is an actual word and not exclusively the dude from Destiny 2 lol

Looks like they took some damage from the explosions and turned hostile

Why is your gatling laser semi-auto ?

I believe OP has charging barrels on it.

?

It's a modification you can put on the Gatling Lazer that lowers the fire rate, but makes it do more damage. Edit: Without the charging barrels, the fire rate would be more like a standard minigun's fire rate.

It’s full auto

What weapon is that?

Aeternus

What gun are you using and how do you get it? My brains not functioning Edit: auto correct

Aternus, you can get it by killing the last challenger in the amoral combat quests in Nuka-World.

Ok thank you! I’ll have to complete that

The mole rat has been spreading rumors of you
