Death Claws

IS there an easier way to defeat those f***in death claws near the Gunrunners? I only have Ian and Dogmeat as npc's. Please help me. I think I might also get the mod thinger do to get better weapons. HELP! :(
 
RE: Death Claws

A shot from a turbo plasma rifle to the eyes always works for me.

You can't kill Cyberdemon with a pistol, can you? I advise that you join the Brotherhood to get better equipment before you take this Hercules' quest of exterminating Deathclaws nest.

zero-x's bitter words after his encounter with roshambo:

"I agree with you but there comes a fuckin point i dont know who roquirbo thinks he is but I at least you didnt really criticize me and i appreciate that i hate people who fuck with my ideas when i didnt say shit to em and yes he is the kind of guy i would take a scalpel tear his head open the take an hammer use the end to samsh through the medulla and use the nail pull as a pry to pull back the top of the skull revealing a brain (small but brain nontheless)and take desert eagle magnum and blow it through his fucking spine as he still breath and then rip out his heart and show him how black it is before he dies but as you said thats illegal well cya"

Do the 'I've had my home taken over by raiders' quest from the bloke down in the hub and you'll get the FMJ Pistol which is just great for getting criticals and doing some good damage.
Also you can get an NPC in the building the opposite side of town to the gun runners.
 
RE: Death Claws

Targetting the eyes is the best way to try to kill a Deathclaw. A good weapon helps a lot, but unless you target the eyes, you'll have a really hard time taking one down.

RE: Death Claws

The .223 pistol is Great(notice the capital "G"), but it nearly makes you deaf. I always turn my speakers down before firing a shot with it.
 
RE: Death Claws

Personally, I usually wait until I have Power Armor (normal or hardened) and a Plasma Rifle...both of which can be upgraded in Adytum (Miles the Chemist and Smitty the Blacksmith).

If you're unable to procure either of these items, I suggest at the very least Combat Armor and a Sniper Rifle and/or .233 Pistol.

I would agree with previous advice that the only way to make a Deathclaw take an extended dirtnap (if you understood this reference and know where it is in fallout 2, you've played TOO much fallout) is by taking Targeted Shots to the eyes.

For perks that help, I'd recommend Bonus Rate of Fire (no one laugh...I don't know how new this guy is, so he mightn't know about it...) and More Criticals and Better Criticals.

Well...that's all from me folks.

I always did this by getting one or two of them after me and then go to an exit grid. Then I pop out and in of the grid and shoot at them. Takes a helluva lot of thime though...
 
RE: Death Claws

I have Tycho, Dogmaet and Ian as NPC's. Usually Ian aims Death Claw's legs or I shoot Death Claw to leg so it moves slower and now I just run and let my party members shoot Death Claw. If Death Claw has crippled leg it moves slower and can't hit you.
 
RE: Death Claws

I did this without the right gear too, and while I am not proud of how this was accomplished it did work (but then I had Tycho with me). Basically if you can outrun the deathclaws, you can avoid them and let the rest of your crew shoot 'em up.

There are plently of obstacles to run around and ideally the deathclaw will chase you. As long as Tycho or Ian can shoot, they should be able to do damage.

This will probably only work if you do one deathclaw at a time.

It might also be wise to buy a heavy weapon to get a first good shot.

Alternatively, get across the field very very quietly, and then buy what you need from the gun runners. Momma Deathclaw in the basement is the real trick- you can't outrun her.

You can if you hit her leg and cause crippled left/right leg. She then has couple AP to move and if you have enought AP's you can shoot and move and she can't hit you because she is so slow.

So it's good idea to aim legs when you are in unarmed combat.
 
RE: Death Claws

Try taking some psycho (drug) before the fight. If you have regular combat armor and psycho (+50% damage resistance) you'll survive a hell of a lot longer. Unless the DC critically hits me, I only suffer 1 or 2 from a normal hit. This along with the other suggestions should help you waste DCs pretty easily.
