Quarry deathclaws are murderous. I thought I'd have an easy time clearing out the Sloan Quarry after finally acquiring some Power Armor. Not so much. svckers take two swipes at me and I'm down. So I roll out with my minigun, no dice. Sniper rifle? I kill one by emptying my magazine into it before the other three cut me to ribbons.
So I decided to play it a little smarter. I picked up an Anti-Materiel Rifle and a handful of .50 cal rounds, then proceeded to break down the ammo and make custom Match grade hand loads. I then mined the base of one of the conveyor towers in the quarry and plugged the deathclaws until they either dropped from the shooting or ran into my mines on the way to claw my face off at the top of the ramp.
Truly magnificent. It's a rare game that makes me put that much thought into beating an enemy. Those Deathclaw eggs are now proudly displayed as trophies in my home.
The deathclaw cave? I'm thinking -lots- of C4...
