Also, if you set your faction to super mutant using console commands and listen to them speak they are irredeemable monsters that should be exterminated without mercy or you'll end up dead and eaten. Setting your faction to raider to listen to them speak they are fucked up people who live in a fucked up world with no other means of survival in an urban environment with no arable land to grow crops or raise livestock so I pity them because they're regular people with humanity, fears, pain and problems who have redeemable aspects. Given that knowledge I often spare them by sneaking past them to bypass them while travelling. Sometimes it's kill or be killed by them.
But yeah, near Diamond City in Fallout 4 and in other areas with super mutants show no mercy. You'll get no quarter, give none. I for one hunt them for sport with a rifle and Dogmeat. If/when there are suiciders shoot the mini-nuke in its hand in VATS, goes kaboom taking out other supermutants in the blast area. If you miss retreat and let the suicider blow up attacking Dogmeat, who is invincible and recovers then sneak/headshot snipe the remainder in rinse and repeat retreat skirmishes.
I usually use Rifleman for rifle/shotgun and Heavy Guns for nuke launchers in my Fallout 4 builds. Takes care of nuclear wasteland business.
Another reason for Rifleman/Heavy Guns is the synergy of headshots on suiciders for mini-nuke ammo. Why attack raiders for their pipe pistol pea shooters? In Fallout 4 there are bigger schools of fish to krispy kritter in blast areas.
Easiest way to collect mini-nuke ammo is sneak/snipe headshot suicider to start attack sequence, if it survives headshot with rifle close in and use all your action points in VATS for shotgun headshots as the coup de grace. In instances where there is more than one suicider launching one mini-nuke on multiple suiciders you get two or more as ammo to delete supermutant and raider bases with.
