While being the weakest of the variants, they are just as much of a threat, given that the player can come across one of these guys at a very early level.ĭifferentiated by their rusty colour and raised horns, the alpha deathclaws are a tougher variant of the standard deathclaw.ĭifferentiated by their glowing, radiated scales, these guys do radiation damage as well as traditional damage.Ĭonsidered tougher than a regular deathclaw, but not as tough as an alpha deathclaw, these deathclaw start appearing instead of regular deathclaw once the player has hit a certain level. This is the first deathclaw you will likely come across. When fighting a glowing deathclaw, players will take radiation damage of 5 rads per second, while in close proximity to the deathclaw. The only ability not shared among all deathclaw variants. As a result, the player can use this inability to their advantage, to put distance between them and the deathclaw where the deathclaw could not possibly reach them. That means that you might see a Deathclaw climb or jump during a scripted event, but a randomly encountered deathclaw will not be able to climb obstacles or jump gaps in order to reach the player. Deathclaws can only climb or jump obstacles through scripted events. More of an inability than an ability, but definitely worth mentioning in context of combat. This will not do any damage, but can make it more difficult to land attacks. The deathclaw may pick up and throw some sand. If you are in power-armor, the attack will instead drain your AP. Unless you are in power armor, this is a one-hit kill. If you are below a certain amount of health 1, the deathclaw can pick you up and impale you with it's claws. The deathclaw may headbutt you with it's horns, which do not do as much damage as standard attacks, but will throw you off balance if hit. If I remember correctly, the shock-wave is only an issue if you are standing to close to the Deathclaw, at an early level or without power armor. When the deathclaw initiates combat, they will stomp the ground, and generate a shock-wave. The approximate damage changes with each variant, but heavy attacks do twice the amount of a regular attack. The deathclaw performs these attacks in two forms, a regular and a heavy attack. These attacks can hit for large amounts of damage, but are still slow enough to make out maneuvering them a feasible defense strategy.
To perform a standard attack, deathclaws use their claws. The appearance of one of the variants is based off player level, though the wiki reports that higher-leveled variants are more likely to appear when the appearance of a deathclaw is scripted, as opposed to just running into one at complete random. Much more information can be found via the Fallout Wiki. There are 8 different variants of deathclaw, and the abilities and attacks they use are mostly shared among them.
