What are super mutants weak against?

Since they’re weak to energy, this is a good time to use those Molotovs and pulse grenades. Super mutants have fairly high damage resistance compared to most enemy types, especially the more advanced ones like masters, so spike damage is good.

Who created the FEV virus?

Weston Lesko
FEV was synthesized and used by Weston Lesko in the Capital Wasteland around 2277, in an attempt to return giant ants to their normal size through genetic manipulation. His ambition was to reduce their size exponentially over the course of several generations.

Can super mutants reproduce?

Super Mutants are asexual and incapable of procreation, so their only way of reproducing is to kidnap other humans, drag them back to the Vault 87 chambers, and infect them with F.E.V. And so they have done, for nearly 200 years.

Why are there so many super mutants in Fallout?

The modified FEV is also completely undetectable by any kind of test meaning there’s no possible way to screen water that has been infected as it only comes back as clean, purified water.

Are super mutants sterile?

Super Mutants are sterile. The nature of the FEV virus rewrites their genetic code from scratch, from exposure to particular strains of the virus — mutants are NOT born, but rather they are recreated. The virus removes both primary and secondary sexual characteristics and leaves all the mutants sterile.

Are there female super mutants?

But yes, there are Super Mutants who are female or arguably used to be female(this is actually a good discussion for a whole other day). Some examples would be Lily and Tabitha in New Vegas.
