Is anyone baffled by the LR Death claw strength?

I enjoyed the challenge, I was dead if one got close due to my low endurance build but elijah's LEAR with max charge MF cells worked well enough especially if I got a crit, for the groups satchel charges between me and the and a little luck got the job done. It was nice facing tough enemies at the higher levels.

Worst one was when I went in a trailer looking for ammo, one spawned in by me :/ Nowhere to run. Especially since it somehow got in through a wall.
With me he spawned on top of the trailer. Scared the daylights out of me, I had a serious Jurassic Park moment :blink:

Also meeting Rawr was.. A special moment.

Manageable with an Assault Carbine or the SMMC as long as they don't swarm you.
I had to booby-trap the small cave where they spawn behind you, once you reach the dead end.

How did you survive the elevator ?

I found that worse than the boss fight.

I am definately carrying a shotgun next time.

Always carry a shotgun. A man is nothing without his boomstick.

You mean Rwar?

In any case, a riot shotgun with Stay back makes the Deathclaws a walk over, that is unless they manage to get to you and OHKO you...

Hasn't anyone discovered the flare pistol? This little beauty seems to be a nod to the dart gun of FO3. It is amazing what it does to deathclaws. I want to try it out on some deathclaws in the Mohave.

Tunnelers were easy for me with a SMMC+++ loaded with 10m JHP, chews them up in no time flat. I anticipate my EW characters will have an even easier time, as they always carry a Gatling Laser loaded with MC ECPs.

Rawr was pretty easy too; Slasher+Med-X+Blood Sausage (the last for healing in case I got hit, I always play in hardcoe and have to 'pre-load' my healing supplies), then full auto fire with a LMG loaded with 5.56mm AP rounds and he died in about 5 seconds without ever reaching me.

Note that these were on Normal, as I don't raise the slider since it doesn't actually make things harder. I do, however, run weapon and armor overhaul mods that increase the challenge.

My lvl 45 got completely owned by the jumper on the overpass. After trying to fight it straight up a couple of times I set three satchel charges around the entrance to the camper and once he dropped he got blasted in the gonads lol. I still had to pump a few .308s in him from my Garand to finish him off

It makes me glad I played LR with my sniper and not my melee/unarmed character. I have no idea how melee/unarmed would survive. But suddenly peopl4e ant complain about being overpowered :lol:Worst one was when I went in a trailer looking for ammo, one spawned in by me :/ Nowhere to run. Especially since it somehow got in through a wall.



That is what scares me, my last play through I'm going to do is a "Dead is Dead" run with an Unarmed character. I will have laser weapons to back me up but because of my story only laser, not all energy, so I have the weakest ranged backup lol.


they are not messing around. satchel charges will tear them up though. though i did find with Cristine's sniper and better criticals i was able to 2 shot them from stealth. but there are at least two battles were satchel charges were my only way of surviving. played it on hard/hardcoe.


Worked nice for me too, I also have JG armor +3, Baret +5, Light touch and 10 luck, so if I did get noticed iit was still usually 2 shots, like a :ninja:

I got noticed and swarmed by masked men and deathclaws on the Couriers Mile. I decided to use my Riot shotgun with Magnum ammo, Shotgun surgeon, And stay back. SWEET HOLY HELL. That was the most intense and fun battle ever. :mohawk:

Well, from what I'm hearing the deathclaws are like Legendary deathclaws, and that Rawr is practically a Legendary Legendary Deathclaw.

Guess I'm taking my Riot Shotgun and Tesla-Beaton prototype- Tesla for sneak-attack crits, and the Shotgun for everything else.

God I hope I'm not over encumbered by all the crap I'll be carrying...

Turn up your difficulty and watch him run at you with a slight scratch on his face.

Wait, people had trouble with tunnelers? i used a dress cane and beat the [censored] outta them.

Oh, and just blow up the bomb when you see them on your compass. You should kill at least one and cripple the rest.

Use the tags [.spoiler] and [./spoiler] (without the periods) when posting stuff like that. Just saying spoiler at the top of your post and then making it obnoxiously long doen't help much. :teehee:
