The Deathclaw thread.

Hello everyone :)

I was wondering, what are your favorite ways of getting rid of these wretched abominations? Have you got any particularly entertaining, cruel, or messy ways of disposing of Deathclaws?
I hate these creatures and I'm trying to think of new and exciting ways to destroy them, so please do share your favorite methods!

God I hate Deathclaws. Hate them !

I shoot them with my cannon and walk past the bloody mist.



You ever see what one of those Anti-Materiel Rifles can do to a Deathclaw?

Euclid's C Finder. Works best when doing Quarry Junction for the first time, and getting all the babies at once.

You want a fun way to deal with these jerks...

Well go no further. All you will need is the following:

50 or so fragmines
5 throwing spears (per deatclaw)
Incinerator

Step 1) Set up 5 piles of 10 fragmines between you and the aledged $%^-offs. Make sure that the piles are not close enough to set eachother off.
Step 2) Back up and pull out the incinerator. Select a target and shot hime. By this point, the deathclaw should be running at you, its body ablaze.
Step 3) Wait for it to step on one of the super fragmine piles. Here, one of two things will happen. One, it will be dead. Two, its legs will definitly be crippled. and unable to chase after you effectively. There is one other possible option, but this has only happend to me once; it results in a flaming deathclaw being propelled at top speed towards you.
Step 4) Lets assume that the deathclaw is now crippled, limping, and on fire. Now run at it and start chucking those spears. Scream as loud as you want.

The result is a pile of flaming bodies, some missing legs and arms, and several more with sticks pointing out of them littered across quarry junction. So much fun.

i take some drugs,put on some fiend armor, and swing a Rebar Club back & forth while screaming like Tarzan until there's nothing left but a Deathclaw torso. Then I drink a bunch of beer and absinthe if i have any. Entertaining? a bit. Cruel? not really. Messy and/or dangerous? yes :cool:

coleslawsk8 is so far winning in regards to imaginitive and excessively complex methods of killing them! :D

Has anyone else bumped into that big gang of them on the east side of the river down south?
I've found that deathclaws really do not like water, so disposing of a big gang of them like that was quite entertaining, it simply envolved throwing alot of grenades and then legging it back into the water and leaving them hissing and snarling on the beach.


Anyone succesfully attacked a Deathclaw with a shovel? Just wonderin..

Anti-Material rifle. I fell in love with that gun the first time I one-shot killed a Deathclaw.

Yes, at the back of the Khan camp by the Quarry (after digging for Chance's knife), although I must confess 'heroic doses' of Turbo, Scotch and Med-X were consumed when taking out every Deathclaw on the far side of the Colorado with a nine-iron. That one was a blur.

Boxing Gloves and the Super Slam perk can put anything at your mercy, even a Deathclaw. The fight's just you running in going "Hup! Hup! Hef!" before landing a big spla-dumph, followed by nine minutes of paf-paf-paf before the final kronch.

With the quarry claws, just sit up high on a crane, AM rifle, steady, psycho, rebound, then kneel down and pick them off. Easy.

The ones next to the road further north are harder, because there is nowhere to run (aside from the Gangers shack - but you'd never make it)

I hide and hit them with fatmen and missiles. Me likey boom-boom.

Yeah, http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Deathclaw_promontory is really fun. Was trying to get Remnants PA on this one EW character but I couldn't do For Auld Lang Syne...
Spoiler
So the only way to get it on consoles without the quest is to clear out Deathclaw Promontory. Awesome!

have you tried extreme fisty cuffs? What do you do might i ask? Have only bear hands on, put on very high armor(like power armor, just something over 20) though if your a real boxer you would do it in a vault suit. Only pick on one deathclaw (kil off the rest or something, boxing is a solo game here!) no vat just pure fists (best done in 1st person for the speical moves are more boxer like). Rules are you, a deathclaw, no helping meds (drugs are bad o.k?) last one standing wins.

This reminds me of NPC wars, I wish I was on PC so I could do that. The Pit's alright... but I'd rather have a group of chem addicts just settled around a campfire outside... when all of a sudden a Legendary Deathclaw appears and mutilates them all!

Why bother with little pea shooting guns?! Sneak Sniping is for wimps. Just charge straight in with the Grenade Machine Gun and HE Rounds.Pure Carnage. How else are you going to bag 5 Deathclaws in a straight up fight?

really long sniper head shot from a Gauss Rifle or an Anti-Mater Rifle which ever is your preference because you just have a feeling of accomplishment when you achieve this.
