What weapons do you recall using? If you don't remember what weapons you used, did you go a more stealthy route, or did you go a more... Explosive route?

I put on a stealth boy and then set mines all around the place, then I got out the old Anti Material Rifle then used incineration rounds things.

I'm just curious how everyone else did it! Haha!

Hunting rifle with Criticals, frag mines, stealth boy, minigun with 3k ammo. It was more like massacre than just normal deathclaw hunting

Sniped with the Anti-Material Rifle on most play-throughs. I've also used a fully modded Sniper Rifle, A Gauss Rifle, The Gobi Campaign Rifle, and a fully modded Hunting Rifle.

On my melee/unarmed builds I've killed them with a Ballistic Fist and with Oh, Baby!

Well, that's Quarry Junction And Mercy with 40mm Nuclear Fission greandes i made myself with the GECK

A file which i lost long ago, but that's okay, main idea of it was the 40mm EMP grenades, but then GRA added them

Alien blaster can help greatly, or AMR explosive rounds for non WW playthroughs

Medicine Stick with JSP's at range, switching to Riot Shotty w/flechettes as they closed in. Ronnie in power armor tanked with the Q35 while I hid behind her skirt, ED-E provided theme music. Took me about three tries.

Turbo's and O'baby

Which nest? Deadwind Cavern or Deathclaw Promontory? With Promontory, I just picked a few off with the Gobi Campaign and snuck through the rest of it just to get the Enclave armor. In Deadwind Cavern, I just used the 12.7mm SMG. the Legendary Deathclaw wasn't so legendary when I killed him in a single VATS.

I am guessing the quarry......Annabell handle it well.

Anti Material rifle with explosive rounds, Riot Shotgun, and Veronica with 2 step goodbye

Light machine gun with 800 rounds of ammo and 1200 surplus rounds.

Adding rushing water, pycho and you will make those big lizards becomes your home kitty

Still, watching 3 deathclaws running towards is one of the most exciting moment, especially when you least expect. When I though I clear the road to North, just wander around whitley farm (I think) and suddenly see few red dot on my compass, over the hill. Curious enough, I ran to see what it is and find out 3 blind but perceptive deathclaws, well, nice surprise

For Quarry, take sniper, hunting, laser rifle to lure those deathclaw out one by one. After that, it is quite easy to handle.

For deadwind cavern, melee/unarmed with chems is my best bet. Other than that, combo shotgun with 2 shotgun perk.

For deathclaw promontory, explosives is the champion. Annabelle with splash damage and HE missiles will cripple all of them, and Mercy will finish the job like magic. Expensive, I know.

OR, ratslayer if you like using trick stay on high rock (which is useless in deadwind cavern, though)

The simplest way to handle a deathclaw is any melee weapons with mauler or knock down, good VATS timing will helps you win every time. I often know them down and stomp to death. Still, not good when you got more to come. Never try them with a shovel, seem like shovel got knock down move, too.

The most flashy, loudest to handle it: Annabelle. Aim to the feet, then aim to their face. Simple and expensive Pumping some steady is nice to have.

The stupidest thing I did is trying Scribe's counter on a deathclaw, thinking that is baby deathclaw. One swipe and I will have headache tomorrow (if I live that long )

AMR, Boone, and a lot of quicksaves.

I dont

my Couriers are usually pretty wimpy so I always go around the quarry and I dont think ive ever, in two years of playtime, even gone inside the Deathclaw Promontory

I've made all sorts of character builds- rifles, pistols, energy weapons, explosives, melee/unarmed- and done Quarry Junction with all of them. You can take them out with any weapons if you build and spec right. But few builds will be able to take them out early in the game, before you've majorly strengthened up your char. The quickest viable build to take them out, of course, is rifles- once you get a sniper rifle, or even the hunting rifle, you can manage it with care and lots of distance. This is without using the 'safezone' cheats to kill them, like sniping at them from on top of the cheap places where they can't get at you.

I didn't know about the Enclave armor in Deadwind caverns.

I know where i'm going.

The armour is in promo motors with some other decent loot and helmet in the silver peak mine, with the legendary cazadore

Rawr counts as a deathclaw nest so... Red glare spam... And a lot of reloads

I used stealth, rifles (Not the AM Rifle), and some frag mines to protect my back.
