Forum:Deathclaws do not ignore your DR.

With my T-51b Power Armor, I had 83 DR. I took 11-12 hits from a Deathclaw on Very Hard before I died.

I took off all my armor and put on the Vault 101-Jump Suit. I died in 4 hits.

I tried to make a change in the wiki, but it was reverted back to it's old line stating that Deathclaws do ignore the players DR. Lorddrago888 18:50, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

what the...............How can only wearing T-5lb givbe you 83 DR? Werewolfhell 16:19, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

Yeah. This sounds a little... fixed. Please explain more. AngryNorwegianDude 17:12, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

Well with the perks I've got (I think took the one that gives more damage resistance twice, plus those from quests and such) I've got 33 DR without any armor at all, and the T51b has 50 DR doesn't it? So his number checks out in theory, but I think DR maxes out at 72 or so. Anyway, his numbers may not check out, but I think his general point is worth investigating.Cavesloth 17:21, 19 April 2009 (UTC)Cavesloth

The DR cap is 85%. My numbers should check out as I have the Pitt Fighter Perk (3%), Toughness, Cyborg and Barkskin. Also, I forgot to specify that I was wearing Winterized T-51b Power Armor, though that should be the point. If you are unsure you can always go test it against the deathclaws.

Maybe the Deathclaw only ignore DR to a certain level? However, as a rule of thumb, Deathclaws damage your armor so much that it is best to take it off and pop a Med-X syringe instead... AngryNorwegianDude 20:19, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

If they ignore it to a certain level, I'm not sure if or how much. What I do know if that it is still a good idea to have DR armor/perks/drugs as it will stil reduce their damage. Lorddrago888 04:23, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
