Assuming you took the "Wild Wasteland" perk, I've found the Holy Hand Grenades do an awesome job on Deathclaws. Too bad there are only three.

If you haven't gone to the Quarry with nothing but your bare fists and your skippies you haven't lived.

If you stick to high ground and pop them in the head, you should be fine. If they start to swarm aim for their legs, crippled Deathclaws can't do that whole flying leap of death thing.

I havent tried it in FNV yet (still on my first playthough :D), but maybe dropping a trail of mines (not too close to each other), getting on the otherside of the line and sniping :shrug:

I've said this once and I'll say it again:

If you stand on or in an object that keeps your feet from touching the ground, you are basically invisible to deathclaws. So standing on isolated rocks, cars, inside a garbage can, all of these keep you from tipping off your location, even if they are RIGHT in front of you. The best thing for you to do is pick them off with some sort of sniper and make your way up the conveyor belts in the middle and load it up with mines (as a precaution) and snipe away.

You're going to have a tough time getting past QJ at level 6 no matter what weapons and companions you have because unlike F3, enemies don't level with the character in the same way. Even if you do get past there are more DCs all the way down to the station at the end of the road.

Your best bet is to sneak down the east side of road, staying as high as possible, raising your skills with magazines/drugs and sniping from a distance. Set your companions to be passive or they'll start firing and give your position away.

At level 6 it might be better to find an alternative route to NV but it's always good to play your own way, not the way the game tries to push you, so good luck.

If your a novice Deathclaw killa you need to take it slow use a Anti Material rifle with AP rounds make sure your crouched and hidden make every shot count more times then not you'll One shot em. If the AM rifle isn't for sale at Gunrunners you can use a Sniper rifle or the Gobi Sniper rifle just as long as your hidden. Another weapon to use is the MultiPlas rifle hands down one of the best plasma guns around use Max charge ammo and go for head shots in or out of VATS course the best use of this weapon is up close and personal :gun: other then that use any weapon with solid specs in DAM and DPS

Sad, but true. Mercy with HE rounds also works wonders.

This Machine.

This Machine kills Fascists.

This Machine kills Commies.

This Machine kills Cazadores.

This Machine kills Deathclaws.

If it needs to die, This Machine is an outstanding choice. You can rely on it. It is your friend.

Indeed. It also seems to lend itself to WWII propaganda-esque posts.

Which is excellent.

I've had deathclaws run up those as well. The cranes work very well to sit on. Just jump from the rocks above them.

That anti-materi e l rifle is probably not cutting it because you're woefully under-skilled or under-strengthed to use it. It's a good big-game hunter, especially against deathclaws and loaded with AP rounds. The only big game gun that matches it per shot is the gauss rifle, which is a bit lower in skill and strength requirements (albeit in E-Weaps) to use, and is also a far lesser weight to lug around.

No, there is no "Make Deathclaws A Pathetic Joke" gun in FONV.

EDIT: Strike that... yes there is. The 12-ga Beanbags, as Gorbad stated.

Also, there is a perk that lowers the strength requirement for all guns by 2. You can get it at level 16 as long as you have a Strength lower than 10.

do the anti material glitch from as far a way as possible to clear a few out to make it easier.just in case ya dont know it use vats with incendiary rounds exit without firing and they set on fire but wont be alerted so you just keep going till ya kill em all.i dont like this though as you really wanna enjoy the combat not avoid it.this cheat works on humans and can be used to kill without pissin anyone off.try giving veronica the displacer fist or ballistic fist.shoot the baby and run for your life.veronica can take care of a few.but if ya on hcore she die so not sure best way.maybe make a minefield in front of you for when they run at you
