Tropedia

  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

  • Any time the Gauss Minigun is fired at something.

I was in the Junction City mission, the one where you have to assault a house defended by 25+ Reavers, and was confounded as to exactly *how* I was supposed to achieve the objective "Kill all the Reavers" without losing all my squad members in the process. That's when I decided to try something so insane that it HAD to work. I selected Chuck, my squad's Super Mutant, dosed him with drugs (two syringes of Psycho, one Afterburner Gum, and two Buffouts), gave him a dozen Super Stim Packs, and loaded him with a Browning M2 in either hand plus 300+ rounds of .50 cal ammunition. What happened next can best be described as resembling the theater massacre scene of the film "Inglorious Basterds" as well as the final shootout of "Scarface". Every. Reaver. Died. On at least one occasion, Chuck insta-killed five or six Reavers at a time with a single salvo of .50 cal fire. When the dust settled, the rest of my squad was huddled behind a piece of cover half a map away while Chuck was triumphantly standing alone and victorious amidst the corpses of dozens of Reavers. Needless to say, Super Mutants can be bona fide weapons of mass destruction if you know how to use them properly.
