Notes

Fuming Acid and Acid Splash deal extra damage when used against this opponent, also preventing the Wounded Mutant encounter in the Dockside Sewers (because you kill instead of wound the mutant you fight).

You can learn about this opponent from the Familiar Face and Subway Dweller Conversation encounters, as well as the Vigilante recording.

When fighting the trio of them in Abandoned Subway, wearing a containment suit (or pieces of one?) and losing you get the following message:

The forms tear into your containment suit, rending through plastic and tubing. One lands a vicious blow, shattering the faceplate of your helmet.

They stop after destroying the suit and stare at you curiously, then wander off.

You found: unlined pants or unlined vest or metallic powder
