Playing on hardcoe duno if that has anything to do with this or not.

I'm level 24. Got rex and boone.

I needed to get past that death claw canyon///gorge// whatever you want to call it, you know the place I'm talking about though.

So I got my ass kicked when I was low level and it was time for some payback. WRONG. :bolt: This was me still. Not even the mother, alpha. 1 regular deathclaw was kicking my ass.

Either going 100 into guns and going pure gun specialization was a dumb idea and their underpowered or these things aren't death claws, but death gods.

I can bring one down but after one of my mercs dies. Unacceptable I say. No one dies in my group!! :rock:

So...... Needless to say. These things seem a bit OP. They can still 3 shot me even with +6 DT perk, adamantium skeleton, and the new vegas doctors 8000caps armor increase body modification.

So either going guns really svcks or hardcoe is no joke for certain things. Either way being level 7 or 24-25 didn't seem to make much of a difference vs a death claw. Wondering if its some kind of bug or something.

you need to sneak up on these guys with a headshot + physco. that should kill one of them instantly. then shoot the other 2 in the legs now they can't do the leap attack or catch you. Anti-material rifle should 1 shot them with 100 guns + physco + sneak critical. Easy as.

Try fighting motor runner that guy insta kills you seriously.

I don't have a anti-material rifle =/ most of my gear still seems pretty crappy actually.

Sniper rifle + sneak + max range + head shots = 1 shot kills

at a low level i was able to kill 2 or 3 of them with the varmint rifle (scope+suppressor). there are areas you can go that doesnt allow the basic crap pathfinding of them to be able to get to you, as long as your far enough away and on a rock that required you to jump on to get to you can take out each one easily.

Though i didnt go back to kill the rest until i got a sniper rifle, took 2 stealth headshots to kill each one which wasnt a problem.

There is only one enemy in this game that i cant stand one bit, and its those flying things with orange wings (cant remember their names atm), a supermutant master would take around 20 shots to kill me(melee weapon) at the time, yet those lil [censored]s would always be able to kill me with at most 4 shots often times 2 and im dead...

Cazador, stupid fast and hell to hit when far, have to use VATS up close to even get a piece of them, yes, nasty things.
