Seriously, is anyone even worried of the strength they wield? I have been 1 shot by them in very hard, and very easy. Holy crap, I haven't been this afraid since I was first swarmed by Cazador's. I mean damn, they are bloody tough to kill. I couldn't even properly stealth kill them as they took an Anti-Material Rifle AP Ammo shot to the face like it was a joke. Anyone else notice this???

It makes me glad I played LR with my sniper and not my melee/unarmed character. I have no idea how melee/unarmed would survive. But suddenly peopl4e ant complain about being overpowered

Worst one was when I went in a trailer looking for ammo, one spawned in by me :/ Nowhere to run. Especially since it somehow got in through a wall.

They were a fun challenge on very hard but mixing Turbo with a Holorifle always brought them down.

they are not messing around. satchel charges will tear them up though. though i did find with cristine's sniper and better criticals i was able to 2 shot them from stealth. but there are at least two battles were satchel charges were my only way of surviving. played it on hard/hardcoe.

And Stay Back and a riot shotgun makes deathclaws hilariously easy

I'm guessing they scale with level, unlike the normal death claws. I was around lvl 10 in my first playthrough of LR when I met the first ones, and I didn't have much of an issue with them.

Late levels for me. Definate issues with them.

How are tunnelers at lvl 10 ?

Yeah they are overpowered especially when you encounter a glitch where you go inside a trailer and one spawns on the roof 0.o

Manageable with an Assault Carbine or the SMMC as long as they don't swarm you.
I had to booby-trap the small cave where they spawn behind you, once you reach the dead end.

Level 45 for me. I needed concentric rings of satchel charges, lots of turbo, 10 luck, every critical perk, and stealth criticals with the holorifle.

They are the nastiest enemy in the game other than the legendary bloatfly, IMO. The giant roboscorpion was a cakewalk compared to these things.

XD me too, its scripted, basically prepare for [censored] [censored]z when you see Red flags and you can go home courier on a wall.

As for the Tunneler's at level 45 they aren't much of a problem for me since I have the auto healing stealth suit plus the auto healing stims so they swarm I kill, even easier with Blade of the West because of its knock down effect and when in the lift just hit them before they reach you for insta kills as they get flung off into a scripted death. Still the Death Claw's instilled a new fear in me they haven't gave me in a while. Guess they replaced cazador's as the number 1 enemy again XD. Seriously 1 hit with Remnan'ts Power Armor and Med-X I was completely crying in the beautiful death they gave me.

I think that on is meant to have jumped down from the overpass above...

Ok..seriously? Why is everyone having such an issue with ~700hp creatures. Its not like the Legendary...just a deathclaw. Knock it on its ass and shove the chainsaw through its faceticles violently.

~Why are you not half-courier/half-tankperson like you should be?

anyone other than me tried to kill Rawr on hard/hardcoe yet? he's worse than the legendary deathclaw, a mother and alpha male at the same time. I got 1 shotted 3 times at level 50 with T-51 PA.

Yeah, and I don't think the blood-filled trailer was a coincidence, etiher.

^This scared the ever loving f*cking [censored] out of me. All Jurassic park up in that biznatch.

Ye hes a bit much on hard, just pile up some satchel charges and watch him get shredded.

~ Another time proving the functionality of the GRX implant.

On Very Hard he just rushed and hit me once and I was dead.

Used a ton of Turbo and kept shooting him with a Holorifle and he went down.


I love turbo

So its scripted? That explains a lot

But you gotta admit its awesome. I saw this and said, finally a challenge, basically its a game of chicken and attempting not to getting hit at all.

Same thing happened to me. I'm on hardcoe/very hard, but not D-I-D. One spawned on top of the trailer. I started looking around, and found him (I thought) inside! Killed him, and swaggered outside all proud of myself. Dead. There's another one on top of the trailer!

Try again, dikeweed! Fortunately, I had just saved, so I knew to be 'vewwwy cawe-fuww....we'we hunting Deff-Claws!!!" (Elmer Fudd in the Wasteland!!!)

I'm with you, I love it. And its not even like their bullet sponges either, deathclaws should be that hard to kill. But I seriously don't know what I would have done without either Mercy or the Compliance Regulator, both of those weapons saved me more times than I even care to count.

I liked how the Deathclaws went from piss easy to difficult...Gave me a lot of challenges, especially clearing the highroad....man the one that jumps on the trailer scared the [censored] out of me! Luckily it didn't get inside before I'd pulled up my Light in Shining Darkness I 2 shott'ed Rawr with Christine's COS Rifle + Psycho, gonna try him on hardcoe later :L

When I first came across the guys I got pretty angry. So. Many. Deathclaws. I didn't think they would be as hard as they were. I was level 43 with 8 END at the time. Nowhere near enough.

I did find out that satchel charges are basically Deathclawbane, though. Plop a couple on the ground, let them explode, then shoot the collapsed deathclaw with the Riot Shotgun to finish it off.

I know, it finally gave me a reason to use a lot of my weapons collecting dust including those as well as my fave Automatic Rifle with 308. AP ammo and upgraded springs. Another enemy I would have wanted to see a much more powerful version of is the gecko's, why o why isn't Gorrija in LR XD

@Expresate they are also Courierbane if your not careful, damn I hate them on the receiving end. I have been nerfed by a few mid fight and damn do they hurt.
