Deathclaw hunting tips

BOS_Warlord

First time out of the vault
Currently at the High Road of the Divide and I have to deal with a few Deathclaws, I have an energy weapons skill of 100 and am armed with a Tri Beam Laser Rifle, HoloRifle, Plasma Caster and Plasma Defender. My guns skill is 60 and I have a brush gun, anti mat rifle with various rounds. My sneak skill is shit btw. I would go Melee with them as I have 95 in Melee with superslam but I feel they might just off me first. Any consultation on what I should do?
 
Only a few? No worries. Take the high ground and make sure to only attract one at a time. That tri-beam to the head'll wreck 'em awfully quick. I've taken out that whole quarry area with a cowboy repeater just for being in a position it took 'em too long to get to.

As long as you're saved you can just try it a few times till you make it.
 
the deathclaws in the divide are more dangerous as they level with you. I have EDE (clone) but he acts merely as a distraction.

but yeah, Tri Beam eh. Never used it alot. My YCS/187 or whatever worked charms too
 
Yea bonce shots an distance are the way to go, I haven't played a energy weapons guy in NV yet, but seeing at that tactic seems to work most of the time with the AMR it should work well with the Tri-Beam.
 
yeah, like I said tho deathclaws in the Mojave are easier to deal with than in the Divide. but the Holorifle has proven to be quite the formidable weapon thus far
 
Haven't played any of the add-on stuff, but it sounds like you've got to try an not get hit. *wink*
 
I find deathclaws a serious threat but not a annoying one, Cazadores on the other hand piss me right off 20 min into my first game I saw what looked at distance to be a bloat fly then it was right in front of my with its sodding rainbow wings and almost phallic stinger.

You know if I ever have the time to do a mod for NV I will make one called Bug Bomb to tone them down some, even after a nuclear war and genetic modifications no pissed off butterfly is going to get the better of me.
 
I mean OK I can get how they are created (see Old World Blues) and I can get that they are just over grown wasps with the temper of a bulldog with a rotten tooth but my god they are fucking irritating.

To be honest they are the most ill conceived enemy since talky toaster.
 
Yeah
Then again half of the time when I eat food items in my inventory the poison stops

But they always pissed me off when I first played this game and had NO companions
