Welcome to the pit, wastelander. Don’t forget your earplugs. And for the love of Atom, watch out for the stage diver.

If the lead roach raises its abdomen and emits a bright yellow aerosol, do not run. That is the “crowd-killing” pheromone. To survive, you must hold your breath and grab the nearest radroach by its antennae. This establishes mutual assured destruction. The aerosol will clear. You will taste batteries for a week.

You don't hunt Radroachhc. You feel it first, as a subsonic pressure in your molars. It is the sound of a trash can lid being dragged down a flight of metal stairs, slowed to 33 RPM, then sped back up to 45.
