i tried bypassing the deathclaws by heading towards the cazadores. oops those are NOT like bloatflies

Me when encountering the nightmare bugs

I'd rather deal with deathclaws than cazadores, tbh. When I went to raise the B-29 on the lake I watched them scurrying on the other side and I swear if you were in my room you could hear a pin drop.

At least you can hit Deathclaws, Cazadores are all over the place LMAO

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Exactly why I hate them so much lol. That and the "tripping balls, but not in a good way" disorienting effect of their attacks making it even WORSE lol

fr, if you don't have an OP weapon, high AP (so you can hit them in vats because you'll be hard pressed to hit them without it lol) and a ton of anti-poison and stimpaks, you're as good as dead

Completely viable if you know what you're doing. There's a path past the quarry with a lot of small rocks on the ground. Aggro'd deathclaws chasing you will (usually) get stuck on them due to pathfinding glitchiness, allowing you to run straight to Vegas.

I usually just cliff walk on the outskirt of black mountain where the deathclaws can't reach me. I'm usually out of their aggro once the repconn headquarters is in view.

👍

But you did try at least one, right? 😛

(We all tried at least once)

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Of course, it’s always the fucking cazadores that pin me down

[–] BoxOfFeet@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

I just tried it again last year. I spent some time around Goodsprings, grinding some Powder Gangers. Trying to get some more points into sneak. Still couldn't do it. If it wasn't Cazadores, it was bark scorpions.
