Learn how to defeat the Four Horsemen in Fallout Tactics. Discover strategies, recommended gear, and how to manage the Charisma-altering effects of this special encounter.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Encountering the Four Horsemen: This special encounter can alter your party's leadership. The character with the lowest Charisma will become the new leader. If your main character has a Charisma of 1, this is usually not an issue.
  2. 2
    Remedying Leadership Issues: If a different character becomes the leader due to low Charisma, you can fix this by using a Mutie (a type of consumable) on your former leader to boost their Charisma, then re-entering the special encounter.
  3. 3
    Combat Strategy: Bring a large supply of Doctor's Bags. Equip all party members with pistols and ensure they have plenty of ammunition. Do not use the burst fire mode. Instruct all party members to target the same enemy. Set the game to CTB mode and manage the combat.
  4. 4
    Limb Management: Periodically check if any party members have crippled limbs and heal them as needed.
  5. 5
    Healing for Experience: Healing the Four Horsemen can yield substantial experience points for your medic character. Each Horseman has approximately 100,000 hit points. A Doctor's Bag can fully heal a Horseman to 'Unhurt' status in a single use, granting around 75 experience points per 75 hit points healed.
Tips
  • Focus fire on one Horseman at a time to eliminate them quickly.
  • Avoid using burst fire to conserve ammunition and maintain accuracy.
  • Continuously monitor and heal crippled limbs to keep your party effective.
  • Consider using Doctor's Bags to heal the Horsemen for bonus experience, especially for your medic character.
