  • Frank Horrigan, Man, Mutant, Monster, a walking nuke with unyielding loyalty to both the Presidency and the Enclave. Standing at 12 feet tall, with the strength to rip a Deathclaw in half, Frank is for lack of a better word, terrifying, but what about the man that came before, how did he end up like this, and ultimately, what happened to him?

    He has 10 in every special category. His big guns, energy weapons, melee weapons, and unarmed are all at 185% out of 200. He has an armor class of 50. He can reduce between 20% to 90% of incoming damage. He has 50% poison resistance. 100% rad resistance. He takes 70% of incoming damage from fire, laser, plasma, explosions, and electricity. But it takes 500% increased damage from EMP. Damage threshold of 20 with an HP of 999 and 20 action points. Due to his resistances the absolute maximum damage you can do in one turn is 192 points of damage. Fun fact. If your intelligence is below 4 he won't even bother trying to talk to you.

      -Tall as a Behemoth
      -Probably has some terrifying music that goes with him
      -Small arms fire (9mm and 5 Cal bullets) would probably ricochet off his Power Armor
      -Laser weapons would reflect off him
      -His plasma caster would have some cool ass sound effects
      -Probably would chuck Enclave Soldiers at you (like those big zombies in PVZ)

      I was thinking if there were a mod.
      In the Aid The Outcasts dlc, after defeating Jingwei in the simulation the simulation glitches. Teleporting back in the hallway, seeing the enclave infiltrate the outcast base. Slowly un-disintegrating in front of you is Frank with an energy weapon in his hand.
      You fight Frank with the weapons you chose from the Holo Requisition from earlier, perhaps all of them. You can phase through the outcasts and enclave members since it still takes place in the simulation, and reminding that Frank is still dead in the future series. (In short a round two of a General Jingwei boss. I can imagine my version wasn’t that good.)

      He has the armor to make him close to invincible, just like any power armor would've for a seasoned soldier. If he didn't have the armor, he would've been just be another super mutant behemoth, which is also pretty close to invincible. Plus the armor gave him enhanced abilities due to the Chems it injects into him. The only draw back was grafting the armor to his skin, making it an unlikely weakness that led to his downfall.

    This video came together really quickly, likely due to the limited footage of Frank so the majority of the video is Frank's talking head...hope that's okay, mutie.
    "Corps" is pronounced core, language is hard sometimes 😪
    Also, a few people seem to be confusing the term "low level intelligence" for "moronic" and that is not my intention. Frank is no moron but he's not highly intelligent either. He does not think for himself, he is blinded by loyalty and follows orders without questioning them no matter how inhumane. He is unwilling to listen to reason, nor displays any signs of understanding the actions of the Chosen One. It takes intelligence to see from another persons perspective and then act upon it accordingly. Frank simply regurgitates something he's been told since birth while ignoring anything that doesn't support his beliefs - that the Enclave are the future, the purest and most worthy of inhabiting the world, which does not include him - but he is too blind/brainwashed to see that. And while Frank is the best at what he does, it is learned behaviour refined over decades worth of experience, supported by technology and mutations, with cybernetic enhancements increasing his intelligence, which is still average. I'm sorry if this rubs you the wrong way, I do not hate Frank he's one of my favourite characters, but I will not let my feelings persuade me into believing he's some kind of genius either.
    Frank Horrigan Titbits:
    Frank Horrigan is one of 4 characters to have 10 in all SPECIAL skills.
    He's named after Clint Eastwood’s character from “In the line of fire” who’s also a secret agent.
