Fallout 4: Far Harbor's new enemies make this Legendary NPC battle even better

Fallout 4: Far Harbor introduces several new enemy types, many of which present a formidable challenge. (Hooray!)

Conquering them as a player is satisfying indeed, but battle master Cosmic Contrarian has, of course, found a better use for baddies. Building on a previous battle gathering together Legendary variants, Cosmo plonks every super tough baddie in Fallout 4 down in one arena and waits to see which faction will be victorious.

The results are spectacular. Things kick off in truly explosive fashion and never stop. Automatron's robot enemies are probably responsible for most of those; though the robots are perhaps more fragile than some of the bullet sponge enemies like Crawlers and Deathclaws, their explosions tear through their opponents, which is pretty good vengeance.

Cosmo runs the battle multiple times with varying results, and it's hard to draw any solid conclusions. Certainly the Crawlers are very powerful, but Super Mutants are tough as nails (especially with that Nightkin - found in this mod) and the Brotherhood of Steel is still a concern. Automatron's robots can hold their own, and Deathclaws remain a serious problem. The poor old Trappers are a definite non-entity in this arena.
