Forum:Deathclaws FO3 Vs FONV

SergeantDornan: Are they toughter in NV or in FO3? What's your take? I think they are almost god-like in NV, and MUCH tougher..plus, you don't get the godsend dartgun to take them on with. Very deadly indeed.

Agree, their feet are more resistance, --Ladies and gentlemen, please die 03:23, February 15, 2011 (UTC)

I'd say FONV Deathclaws are tougher, BUT (except for that one cave with the legendary DC) it is easier to kill them in NV with sniping tactics than it was in FO3. If you are not a sniper then Deathclaws are much tougher in FONV than FO3.75.67.224.12 06:38, February 15, 2011 (UTC)

I've found that killing Deathclaws is about the same, save for the Abominable perk which makes killing even the mothers, alphas and even the legendary deathclaw much easier. At level 2 of said perk I killed the legendary deathclaw with Multiplas Rifle in two shots. Generally speaking though, I agree that stealth killing is much easier. I took out all the Quarry Junction ones without even getting within 100 meters of one. Portfan 15:17, February 15, 2011 (UTC)

I think it really depends on what location the Deathclaws are found in. I recently got the YCS/186 Gauss rifle. I was able to make several one Shot, non-critical kills on some Deathclaws over by the Gypsum Train yards, whereas the Deathclaws over in the Quarry area required three shots to take down. I don't think they were that tough in FO3. In that instance it just depended on your level and your weapons skill levels. If you were at lvl 5, had low weapons skills, and were facing off against a Deathclaw then you were SOL.--Ryker6120:26, March 24, 2011 (UTC)~01:23pm 3/24/2011
