Tl:dr Sneak, silent running, corners, have a very long ranged weapon. Melee is a bit more complex, but there are skill levels at which very fun special attacks get unlocked (varies by weapon for melee). Use it, abuse it, especially with unarmed.įor unarmed, get 75 skill so you can use the 'cross' attack ASAP. Melee and unarmed weapons deal VATS damage that puts almost everything else to shame, due to the fact that they ALL do double damage in VATS.

Make them come screaming around the corner.

On the other hand, I have found no better way to kill a Cazador than a super heated saturnite fist to the schnoz.Ĭorners are your friend. There are plenty of other ways to make deathclaws die. It can just be an exercise in frustration if you time things wrong and oops, time to reaload. Max sneak is insanely fun (not as fun as FO3 with the chinese stealth suit, but fun). You don't have to be perfect with it, you just need something to reach out and touch things you just CAN'T close on. Grenade rifle, Gauss Rifle, Sniper rifle of choice. You will want a weapon for very long range killing. Both melee and unarmed are viable for all but a few situations.
