Fallout Cartography | Commonwealth Super Mutants

Episode 2 of the cartography series has us looking at the Super Mutants of the Commonwealth! What does their distribution, population, and named bosses tell us about them? How will their distribution change over time, depending on which faction controls the commonwealth? Let's see!

    The Synths in CIT are likely there because, according to Virgil, CIT is the primary insertion point for field operatives via teleportation. So keeping it clear ensures that Institute surface teams aren't spawn killed

    "What is it with supermutants and toys?" part of their theme seems to be innocence, like Strong not understanding the phase 'milk of human kindness' being the source of humanities strength, they often react to violence like it is a game, and the suiciders might mean they don't understand their own mortality.

    it's really interesitng how every instance of inter-mutant conflict we've seen on the east coast(Fawkes and Strong) didnt involve killing but instead involved imprisonment, with the mutants keeping the traitor in a holding cell instead of just killing them. It really adds to the theory of intense loyalty to the species and understanding that they cant create more and refusal to ever kill one another.

    The Fallout 4 mutants are capable of easily killing each other if they act out of line by agreeing with humans or showing higher intelligence than the standard mutant. The Super Mutants led by Fist were planning on killing Strong and were making bets on how many times his body would bounce off the ground once they pushed him off Trinity Tower just because he took the readings of MacBeth too literally after agreeing with Rex. Erickson from Far Harbor used to be in a group led by Grun, a Behemoth leading the Vim! Pop Factory. He had to go into hiding because Grun almost squashed him to death after trying to give some intelligent suggestions to them.

    You really made me realise how much of a missed opportunity the whole "Institute teleporting mutants" things was, having NPCs comment on how super mutant just randomly appear in a specific area would have really built up the mystique of the area. Plus it could have been a chance to delve into Super Mutant society and what they think was going on, do they believe it is the act of some Super Mutant god? If so it would explain why the boston super mutants have a superiority complex a bit. There's a lot of story tell potential there.

There is no infighting because Super Mutants share everything, they like it when they help each other for no ulterior motives, and are a lot more unified than the Raiders. It’s actually really interesting to see Strong’s likes and dislikes and they give great insight into Super Mutant culture.

The gunners having heavy fire power and a disposition for the high ground, making them a good counter to super mutants. What could be occurring is that in being the largest populations in those areas, super mutants realize they are too much of an effort to fight making them leave to less defended zones.

    I've recently become a bit curious about Natick Bank's importance to the supermutants and deathclaws alike. I recently visited there and counted no fewer than 7 deathclaws in the area surrounding the town. directly east of there, right on the border of the map, there is a behemoth that spawns at a electrical transformer station that will start duking it out with nearby deathclaws. I've never found a deathclaw nest in the area to suggest it's a nesting ground like the Lynn Woods area, but despite it's low mutey population, the nearby behemoth might suggest that taking this area is a higher priority, than we might initially assume.

    Just to advise, on Survival mode, if you trigger the encounter between Diamond City Security and the Super Mutants at mid-level, the Super Mutants overpower Diamond City Security. I've witnessed it several times, once on at level 25, there was a legendary Super Mutant variant that decimated Diamond City Security. When that happens they effectively held the encampment and skirmished with Diamond City Security Guards everytime one did it's rounds. It certainly made Diamond City an interesting place to visit!

    Regarding the Supermutant behemoths in the low-level-areas at 4:00 ~ish: My impression was that because of the Behemoths there where no other higher lvl enemies. Gameplaywise it hightens the contrast, (after slaying a few gouls and molerats suddenly you get jumped by a behemoths... ) and lorewise it could mean that they as an Apexpredator would simply not allow any other predators beside him.

    As far as the fate of the Commonwealth mutants. I think that as time goes on and their numbers dwindle I can see two things possibly happening. 1: The mutants consolidate their power and instead of many warlords and raiding parties they instead fall under one banner. They would likely hold up in a secure location. Which I think the Glowing Sea would be the perfect location. Yes it's FAR away from their normal raiding paths, but the natural protection that the highly irradiated and dangerous area means that any human faction looking to wipe them out will have a tough time doing so. 2: With their numbers dwindling the mutants could simply migrate to a new area, either in search of more mutant groups to join or find a way to make more mutants themselves. Or to simply find a easier target to raid. We already see this happening with the Far Harbor mutants who migrated there from Boston.

Personally, I'd like to think they built a bunch of wood and scrap boats, similar to the ones used by the Orks in Lord of the Rings (Return of The King or The Two Towers, cant remember which), and then sailed to Spectacle Island to setup shop.

    Really hope you're doing either gunners or triggermen in the next one, great concept for a series BTW! You kinda got me into Fallout 4 again. Also, it makes sense that Super mutants would have other goals than the ones in FO3 since they don't actually have acces to the FEV. They don't really strike me as raiders necessarily, more like Barbarians or Vikings, they care alot about strength, they look down on humans and want to kill and bask in the gore and violence, they have suicidebombers, they don't care about dying, that's the reason they don't stay in the glowing sea, they want to be close to people they can kill and don't care about the risks. Lastly i just wanna pitch an idea for a future fallout game, i would love it some day if we got a semi-intelligent behemoth boss of supermutants that has this giant throne and a couple of pet deathclaws, as well as cages of baby deathclaws, i think it could be a promising concept.

Before then, about 50-60 years ago, I know that the Institute was trying to use FEV for the “perfect machines/synths” project so they discarded the rejects from that. But my theory is that after the creation of the Gen3 Synth the FEV abductions continued partially to deal with the replacement captives, but partially to keep the Commonwealth weak and divided.

    The cut content for sailor hat wearing mutants would have been fun to find in game. As it would imply that the Mutants are taking up seat fairing, maybe even fishing, and would have been good foreshadowing for those Super Mutants we’d later meet in Far Harbor.

    I think some vault 87 super mutants made it to the Commonwealth and integrated themselves with the Institute mutants. The main reason why I think this is because Strong will occasionally say "No green stuff here". If the Commonwealth mutants only gain new members from the institute,then why would they look for FEV? As far as they should know,the only way to get new mutants is to wait for the institute to create new ones. Then again,I don't know what the process is for them to be turned and released,so maybe they know what FEV is.

    That's very interesting. The vault 87 mutants are nearly limitless in recruits as it is unlikely that they will ever be fully removed due to the lethal radiation so having some migrate north and speaking of "green stuff" that can make more supermutants. This obviously something mutant leaders would want so they probably have all raiding party's report back on any green stuff

    So I didn't bring this up the first time I watched the video because I thought it might be a tad pedantic, but if you do not bring the cure to Virgil in time, he devolves and starts acting much like a super mutant does, and tries to attack you. Would be interesting if there had been something there, maybe he says something specific that can be analyzed, or maybe there is a terminal entry after he turns, etc. anyways, great video! I love this series so far. Can't wait for the gunners, I really think there was a missed opportunity to make that a faction you can side with.

    Complete conjecture about the placement of the Super Mutants in the commonwealth: The Institute began disposing of Super Mutants by teleporting them several stories into the air at random places in the commonwealth. Randomness would avoid creating a pattern for the surface dwellers to notice. Due to the randomness of the teleportation, occasionally a Super Mutant would survive the process inside a high rise building. From these elevated positions, they set up raiding bases and began to scavenge the surrounding areas for food, weapons, and rope to make gorebags. The Institute became aware of the surviving Super Mutants, however they didn't stop because the Super Mutants destabilized the largest communities in the commonwealth, and actively reduced the raider population. This could also provide the reason that the Institute never stopped producing Super Mutants, even while Virgil notes that their experiments seem fruitless.

    Hammer and Fist… Hammerfist! Those are some very interesting observations. And it makes a lot of sense, given the general situation, origin and background.

    With CIT being the main point of insertion for operatives, it's possible that the Institute has chosen Boston as their designated place to discard super mutants instead of Cambridge. This would at least keep the Charles River between them, all with little extra energy used on teleportation. This could also help explain why super mutants are far more concentrated in Boston than Cambridge, where they technically originate.

    I'm curious about the groups that found themselves in Far Harbor, they could give insight to potential numbers of mutants in areas outside the Commonwealth. It's possible that the biggest reason for the lack of mutants in the early game can also be attributed to the blocked railway north of Beantown, which restricted mutant flow. Lastly, it's perfectly plausible that the distribution of the mutants is simply down to being teleported aboveground to CIT to save power and then being driven out by the synths.

    About the mutants in the Vim! Pop factory: the terminal entries in the factory seem to suggest that Grun, the behemoth, led the group because of his strength. He was apparently losing cognitive abilities, becoming more and more aggressive and less and less intelligent as he grew in size and strength. This is consistent with what we know about behemoths. Super mutants who live long enough don't die from old age. They just keep growing bigger and dumber, seemingly infinitely or until they can no longer find enough food to support their massive bodies. If you look at a behemoth up close, you can see that it is deformed, seemingly by its muscle mass growing too fast for the bone structure to keep up. That seems like another likely cause of death for behemoths who don't get killed by an army of heavily armed assailants. I don't know if there is any certain information telling if _all_ super mutants are potential behemoths, or if only some of them will grow to that extreme.

But a fortified supermutant Town out in the glowing sea would be kind of cool they picked that spot because they want to stay out of where humans come across them so they don't have problems. And they're willing to trade with people who show up peacefully

    Malden's an interesting location. Super Mutants control the hospital, and raiders hold the metro, but are under attack by synths. Nearby, there's Vault 75, where the Gunners hold the Vault as a base, and nearby is a horde of Ghouls. I'd say in terms of fighting, Malden could very well be the biggest hotzone for gunfights, after downtown Boston.
