Fallout fans have been trying new techniques to defeat the many enemies of the series' bestiary since the beginning, and that's no different with the Fallout 4 community. One Fallout 4 player has decided to see what would happen if they took on an Ancient Behemoth with a Paddle Ball toy.
Reddit user Shepard_90 recently posted a clip of their strange Fallout 4 build that includes a Quantum Paddle Ball weapon with unlimited ammo. Because of how they spent their perks, this Paddle Ball battle with an Ancient Behemoth is even more interesting than many fans anticipate as the player's attacks are not only effective, but they don't take much damage due to some of the best armor in Fallout 4. While the encounter is an arduous 30-seconds for the Fallout 4 player, Shepard_90 is able to destroy the Ancient Behemoth using only the aforementioned toy.
Shepard_90's Fallout 4 clip begins with the player running through a trench in the vast Boston commonwealth landscape that makes up most of the game's open world. The Fallout 4 player runs through two bushes before approaching the targeted Ancient Behemoth, which begins the fight by throwing a rock at the Vault 111 survivor. Right as Shepard_90 takes their first swing at the Ancient Behemoth, the enemy takes a couple of swipes at the player with its large pipe and staggers them in the process, starting the encounter on the wrong foot.
After recovering from being knocked over, Shepard_90 begins unleashing a bevy of attacks at the Ancient Behemoth with their Quantum Paddle Ball toy, aiming primarily at its head several meters above. The player is staggered a few more times during the battle while they get some critical strikes of their own that cause the Ancient Behemoth to stutter in its attacks. After about 30 seconds of rapid hits, Shepard_90 defeats the powerful Fallout 4 enemy, feeling an even greater sense of accomplishment given their weapon of choice.
Several Fallout 4 players have asked Shepard_90 where they acquired the Quantum Paddle Ball, and although some may have thought it was a mod, it's a legitimate item in the game from the Nuka World DLC. Shepard_90 has confirmed that they acquired the weapon through Project Cobalt in which they acquired a schematic to craft Paddle Balls and the Thirst Zapper in 3 Nuka-Cola Variants. Though Shepard_90 has confirmed that they are using mods in their Fallout 4 video, it only seems to have affected the weapon ammo in the clip.
Fallout 4 is available now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
