PSA: When you get the Power Armor, save your minigun ammo

You can whip out your normal weapons to deal with the regular baddies. Conserve your minigun ammo, especially if you are starting out on higher difficulties. Thank me later...

Ammo is VERY hard to find, except for the little stuff like 10mm. I have not found 5mm anywhere. But I'm about to hit the city, so hopefully I can buy some. BUT, if you hit the BS quest line you will get a kick-ass laser. And fuel cells are easier to find.

Should have done that myself, I ended up killing the deathclaw with 2 bullet left :)

And yes the minigun is serious overkill against the raiders.

I ended up using all of my ammo, and then playing hide and seek with the deathclaw. I eventually found an alley between two houses that he was too wide to enter, where I was able to shoot him without taking any damage. One hit and I'd be dead. The deathclaw would eventually change positions (I'd hesitate to say he ran away), so I'd have to get him to follow me back to the alley. I repeated that process for what seemed like an eternity until he was dead.

Yeah at higher difficulties it was brutal having to resort to small arms. It was like playing high stakes Tag, except instead of being "it", you just die a horribly painful death. I tried to circle around a car, but when he picked it up I nearly **** myself.

Too late... I was replaying the first hour or so, cause the first time I played it while drunk and couldn't remember a thing, and I used up all the minigun ammo before the deathclaw was even a quarter health down. Didn't have the patience to cherry tap it with a pistol, so I had to revert to the drunken save, in which I somehow already killed it with plenty of minigun ammo to spare, idek how.

Yeah learned that the hard way. Blew all my ammo on the raiders just having fun being a badass, then that damn deathclaw came out and I was like ohh [censored]! Ended up finishing him off with a sawed off shotgun. Damn near destroyed my power armor. I had the chest and one arm left after I was done lol. Love this game!

I actually left the as many raiders as as i could to deal the deathclaw (they did SFA damage to it) and kept playing hide ans seek. then when i ha only 200rds left i saw it near a car so i unloaded on the car and let the explosion take care of it ( had 10% of health left) and i finished it off with 36rnds to spare
