Vault 101 (Fallout Thread)
Thrillho:
I'm playing on medium difficulty so I must be missing something, but I don't often have problems with Cazadores. I absolutely have more trouble with Deathclaws, even with power armour they kill me in a couple of swipes. But then I do have Rex and Boone.
Neko_Ali:
The problem you are having is letting Deathclaws get close. Armor means nothing to them, their claws completely ignore whatever you are wearing, from Sexy Sleepwear to Power Armor. You really want to take them out from a distance. Fortunately, they are large, generally easily noticed and come singly or in small groups typically. Cazadores on the other hand tend to swarm and are much, much faster and harder to hit, even in VATS. Then add on top the fact that they poison means even if you kill them, you can still die afterwards unless you keep antidote on you. Their poison is much nastier than radscorpion poison.
I'm at the 'invulnerable god' stage of the game right now. Cazadores are really the only thing that pose any threat to me. And even that is minimal if I see them in a distance and can start sniping. (Or nuking them) I guess if you dropped four deathclaws at my feet I would be dead. But really, nothing else. For I have become Death, destroyer of men and beasts. May all the wasteland tremble at my passing. Unless they strap a damn cheap explosive collar around my neck.
Thrillho:
Solo Deathclaws I can deal with cause I can hit and move, but I am so dependent on VATS that short of a minigun I have nothing ranged I can take them on with.
As for Cazadores... well, I always have shitloads of antidote, because I never use it unless I'm attacked by one of them and never sell it because it's weightless. I think I've not had any trouble with them at all since my level got into double figures. Although, again, I've still got Boone and Rex.
TheEvilDog:
General rule I've always found works best for VATS is don't use it for extremes. Even if you have full VATS and you're only getting one shot go for manual, and conversely if you're getting a lot of shots, eg the minigun, just fire at them. VATS is also pretty useless for blast weapons, just aim at their feet and let the splash down them.
As for multiple Deathclaws, Fallout 3 I'd tell you to use the dart-gun, doesn't damage them, but it does cripple the legs of the target and slows them to a snail's pace (It also prevents them from performing their leap attack, so always try to cripple them anyway).
(The rest of these tactics work better for New Vegas.)
Failing that, find a narrow passageway (that you can easily escape from) and drop mines or C4, get the Deathclaw's attention and watch it charge headlong into the mines (I drop about 5 into one spot, it'll take a big chunk of their health).
Or jump on a rock and cherry tap them one at a time.
The Flare Gun also makes Deathclaws flee for several seconds so that can give you a breather.
Find a high perch, like the digger at the quarry and just snipe them.
LeeC:
Who is tougher in FO3 the Deathclaws or the Royal Fire Ant guards? :psyduck: 'Cause I remember using a shit ton of mines to take them out in the tunnels.
