Equipment
We need 2 weapons and a full armor set for this build and method. The underarmor is the same for human and ghoul, it's a shielded vault style unterarmor (+2 END, +5 INT, +3 LCK).
Armor (Human)
Since we're playing a Bloodied human in this build, Unyielding armor is an excellent choice. Our high Agility stats already give us such good stealth that no additional perk cards are needed. To further increase energy damage, we're using Intelligence as our second legendary mod.
- Unyielding
- Intelligence
- Any (e.g. Thru-Hiker)
- 4x Rangers, 1x Limitbreaking (5x Rangers is possible too)
Armor (Ghoul)
The Ghoul cannot play Bloodied, so we need to find a way to achieve good sneaking ability at full health. We achieve this through additional agility. Therefore, in this build, we use Chameleon and Agility as our second mod. Rangers is also used as the 4th star.
- Chameleon
- Agility
- Thru-Hikers (no travel pharmacy & thru hiker perk cards needed)
- Rangers
Weapons
Assaultron Head
We only use the Assaultron head at the beginning to cripple the shield with a single shot. For this, we need the following legendary mods:
- Quad
- +50% Limb Damage
- +3 Intelligence
- Polished
Tip: To compensate for the small amount of RADs emitted when firing the assaultron head, you can simply use Brahmin milk to absorb small amounts of radiation. Alternatively, you can use diluted Rad-Away and toxic goo.
Enclave Plasma Rifle
For torso damage, we use an enclave plasma rifle. You can obtain the Enclave Plasma Rifle as a reward from Enclave activities, where the mods also drop as loose rewards. There are no plans for the weapon or its mods. Scrapping the weapon will not yield the plans either.
- Flamer Barrel (any)
- Scope (any)
- Prime Capacitor
(You get this as a reward from the Scorchbeast Queen / Event: Scorched Earth, or from normal Scorchbeasts.) - Stock can be Standard
Furthermore we need these legendary Mods:
- Furious
- Rapid
- Intelligenz
- Pin-Pointers
Buffs
In this example, we'll use a buff to increase critical hit damage: Blight Soup. This is easily crafted with Blight from Ash Heap and lasts for 30 minutes. Other buffs like Overdrive or Bobbleheads are available, if you like to use them.
Method
Make sure you've set up your weapons on the quick-wheel for easier access. Also, ensure your weapons are repaired. Your HP needs to be 5% or lower e.g. by consuming toxic goo.
- The first time, it's best to charge your critical hit bar by landing a few hits on enemies outsite of the raid and outside of VATS. By the second round, the bar will already be fully charged.
- First, charge the Assaultron head to 20 by repeatedly reloading.
- Start the stage by pressing the button.
- Sit on a lamp at the bottom of the ramp, in front of the floor, so you're not touching the electrically charged ground, and crouch.
- Wait until the EN-06 is fully extended.
- Use the shield with the Aggressotron head in VATS and hold down the critical hit button (see the bottom of the VATS screen).
- Fire, and the shield will be crippled with a single shot.
- Now switch to the enclave plasma rifle, aim with the scope at the torso, and fire.
- After about 1 minute, you'll have defeated the EN-06 and will receive the rewards.
To replay the first part of the raid, go to Quests in your Pip-Boy and select "reject" for the raid (the button is described below). You will then be removed from the instance and can restart. Currently you might have to switch around between main and side quests to see the raid, if its not displayed.

Most common problems & mistakes
Based on your feedback, here's a short list of mistakes to avoid to ensure you can take down the Guardian's shield with a single shot:
- The Aggressotron head doesn't have the "Quad" and "Crippling" mods.
- Your VATS critical hit bar isn't fully charged. Make sure you fully charge the bar by hitting other enemies in VATS outside the raid.
- The Grounded mutation must not be active, as it reduces energy damage too much.
- The Eagle Eyes mutation, on the other hand, must be active to receive the corresponding critical hit bonus.
- It won't work if you're not "hidden".
