His section is named "Big Bad Boss Kills" and within it, he is described as a "genetically engineered total homicidal maniac cyborg bodyguard." When killed, he appears as a new entry in the Pip-Boy 2000 kills section.If blinded, he switches from the plasma gun to his knife.Though he has placeholder graphics for both reactions, Horrigan is the only character with a talking head that cannot be impressed or made furious.device for destroying Frank Horrigan, but it is merely a myth. Some NPCs claim that the mutated toe is a one hit K.O.Once defeated, he will engage in dialogue, without legs and crawling on his arms, before dying.The mutagenic serum does not work on Horrigan, as he is not an average mutant.It is part of the skin of Frank Horrigan (like the super mutants' armor of Fallout and Fallout 2), and is therefore not an item. His armor is like a protective and defensive survival armor directly grafted to his body.Horrigan's personal weapons can be obtained either by killing him and positioning an NPC in the same hex he was standing in when he died, killing that follower, and then looting both.Horrigan still managed to get up on his hands and taunt the Chosen One for the last time, telling them he had activated the self-destruct program and that they will all die in a "big ol' mushroom cloud sendoff." After reciting his oath, he collapsed as the internal pressure blew his head clean off. However, this mortal wound didn't kill him instantly. Damage to his systems was too extensive and he was blown apart into two halves at the waist. In the ensuing fight, Horrigan was mortally wounded. When they invaded Control Station Enclave and destroyed its computer, triggering a meltdown, Horrigan personally secured the exit to the PMV Valdez, to prevent them from leaving the oil rig. However, he met his match in 2242, at the hands of the Chosen One. He also killed Matthew at the San Francisco Brotherhood bunker following his acquisition of Vertibird plans. On one ocassion, he was tasked with hunting down and recruiting an elderly farmer whose knowledge could prove dangerous, killing him without a second thought when the man refused. Horrigan was extensively deployed to the wasteland, tasked with resolving any situations that may affect the Enclave. To the Enclave scientists, he was an experiment and a freak, and few were willing to accompany him on missions. ĭespite his appearance, Horrigan didn't consider himself a mutant, referring to other wastelanders as "muties" instead. He was also fitted with several cybernetic enhancements, including arm control mechanisms, leg rotator mechanisms, and a bionic eye. His armor continually injects him with drugs and other stablizing agents, and is the only thing keeping him alive. Ĭontrolled injections with a modified version of FEV allowed him to become bigger, stronger and faster than any other super mutant. The Enclave took advantage of his low intelligence, further damaged by the FEV, to reinforce his pre-existing loyalty to the presidency and the armed forces by running various conditioning programs on him, ordered under a Presidential Directive. He was fitted with a custom-engineered set of power armor, and after a few successful field tests, he was assigned to his new role. When tests began to run dry in January 2239, the Enclave decided that it was time to redeploy him as a field operative. Viewed as a "genetically engineered freak" by his own men, he had been experimented upon and underwent so many changes to his DNA and physiology that he could be described as a one of a kind mutant, becoming more machine than man. He was kept under heavy sedation and only allowed to be conscious for short periods of time, during which several violent incidents ocurred. įor two years, Horrigan was operated upon, and studied by the Enclave forces while he gradually mutated into a super mutant, both physically and mentally. The Enclave decided to send him to the Oil Rig for study. It was on one of those wasteland expeditions that he came into contact with the Forced Evolutionary Virus at the Mariposa Military Base and started mutating into a super mutant. A huge brick of a man, he used to serve as the personal bodyguard of President Dick Richardson until an undocumented psychotic blunder caused him to be reassigned to wasteland patrol duty.
