well, the enclave created the deathclaws before the wars even started. its not a mutated nimal at all. infact, in the earlier fallouts there were white furry death claws that could speak and were semi intelegent. thats why at enclave camps there are deathclaws that dont attack enclave officers. they escaped during the war, and through inbreeding and such the white guys died out, and they became a race of creature that relies on ppure instinct.

easy way to kill deathclaws is to use the dart gun so they can't rush then just use a shotgun, or a plasma gun

The Alien Blaster Would be good a Weapon I put it on my Bookcase in my Megaton House and I had 208 Alien Power Cells and I put those next to my Blaster 1 day in Reality Passes by Now I have one Power cell left I used my Blaster 5 times.

The fastes way to kill a Deathclaw is with THE TERRIBLE SHOTGUN

As brainless00 said, the Dart Gun is the key. And not just for Deathclaws but all melee opponents (Yao Guai, Mirelurks, Super Mutant Behemoths, etc.). Dart the Deathclaw to cripple its legs and prevent its melee charge. Then just keep backing off and shooting it with your weapon of choice, staying out of range of its claws. The better the weapon, the faster it will go down.

WELL THE DART GUN IS ACTUALY A REALLY GOOD WEAPON BECAUSE THEY DIE IN LIKE 2 SNEAK SHOTS AND LIKE 5 OR LESS IN VATS IF YOU HIT THEM IN THE LEGS.

in my experience at close range the terrible shotgun does the trick.
and at long range i use a plasma rifle.

but make sure the weapons you are using work towards your skills, small guns, energy weapons..etc.

Hmmm, i hardly ever meet those ****tards but almost every enemy i face, i usually with Assault rifle, 10mm or Combat shotgun, although i sometimes and Fatman em' close range, but Frag Mines really suck, do no dmg, so use Bottlecap mines with high Explosives skill!!
