I never travel anywhere now without ED-E and Lily, and sometimes I even call on an NCR trooper to better my odds in a battle. Depending on your perks, plasma rifles, sniper rifles, and any kind of explosive always work best against them.Ģ) Use your companions. Problem is, only the most powerful weapons in the game can actually kill a Deathclaw in one shot, so you better be ready for a counterattack. But if you engage them from an unreachable perch, you can turn an otherwise very dangerous situation into a shooting gallery. Scoring criticals against these beasts is the best way to take them down without draining your ammo supplies, and the easiest way to do that is to catch them off-guard. But if you have to rock n’ roll, here a few pointers that I’ve learned the hard way:ġ) Sneak-attack from above. So if you’re not packing the firepower (and the XP to use it), your best bet is to avoid them altogether. Only a couple other creatures can boast having more hit points, and Deathclaws hang about in groups to make things even better.
good luck with that.Perhaps no other abominations in the game can be as difficult and as maddening as Deathclaws.
