Forum:Killing deathclaws

I use A3-21's plasma rifle, usually A one hit kill in sneak mode. BLACK LENNY 17:46, June 18, 2010 (UTC)

The Dart Gun is really effective. Nitty Tok. 18:06, June 18, 2010 (UTC)

Yea, try to VATS their legs to cripple them, then keep shooting at their head. Even if you only cripple one leg, you will notice a huge difference. Redaueron 04:58, June 19, 2010 (UTC) Briareus the Sniper

The Dart Gun will prevent them from thier deadly jump attacks. Then switch to another weapon and fire. They will move like old tanks, but you and your compainions can shred them out in the open. VATS thier heads if you must fight in close range.Vault Master 21:32, June 20, 2010 (UTC) Vault Master

Alone and early in the game: Try to get one at a distance, then drop bottlecap mines between it and me, or frag mines ones I'm out. Once its health is at a sliver, finish it off with whatever gun I have handy (usu. a Chinese Assault Rifle). If I don't have mines, pop some Med-X and try to get to a cliff or some water.

A bit later in the game: Hopefully, I have the Dart Gun and a better main weapon. Cripple it with a dark, then blast it into oblivion while retreating. Hope I don't run into a rock or building, allowing it to get close.

Later on in the game: Me with the A3-21 Plasma Rifle. Fawkes with his Gatling Laser. Star Paladin Cross with a Burnmaster. Deathclaw goes down very fast. I try to shoot it last, so I can watch it dissolve into green goo.
