Overpowered Survival Mode Mr. Handy Flamers?

So, I've been playing through my latest playthrough of F4 with a good chunk of mods (around 75), including Survival Options, and I've noticed that the flamers that Mr. Handy bots are equipped with are insanely overpowered. I used Survival Options to set incoming and outgoing damage to 1x (because 2x incoming damage is total BS, especially when the player only deals 1.25x and health and armor are nowhere near as effective as lower difficulties), and most bullet or energy weapons only deal maybe 1/8 of my health, 1/4 for some stronger enemies, which I feel is fair but realistic. However, I notice that any Mr. Handy NPC kills almost anything in one hit. I was at the General Atomics Galleria (a location inhabited solely by Mr. Handy robots) and when one engaged with me in combat, I basically instantly died as soon as I realized it was attacking me, and it was due to the flamer they all have.

Granted, my health was not at maximum, but it was nowhere near low enough that one SINGLE damage hit would kill me. I had easily 3/4 of my health left, and if I remember correctly I had used a Med-X because I knew, from a past playthrough, that the area was filled with robots that would attack me. This insane damage doesnt only apply to enemy Handy bots, I have Codsworth as a follower and his flamer kills literally any enemy in one hit. Any enemy. Raiders, Mirelurks, Hounds, and I wouldn't be surprised if he took a solid chunk of health from a Deathclaw. I have no idea exactly how much damage the flamer deals in Survival, but this is ridiculous. The second I died I closed the game and I haven't opened it since because I was so infuriated.

 

My energy resistance is decent, at least half of my physical resistance (which lands around 80 thanks to a mod that allows whole body armor to be equipped underneath of peices) so I have a very hard time believing I would have died in one hit. If it wasn't an immediate death, I would've been convinced I was underleveled, but with an instant death and the fact that Codsworth kills damn near anything, I'm sensing an issue.

 

TL;DR: Mr. Handy flamers are OP as hell in Survival mode.

 

If there is a mod to fix this, or if there's something like a compatibility issue or a glitch or something I should know about, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
