Behemoth or Death Claw?

[Ed130 The Vanguard]

You can one-shot deathclaws.

You can't one-shot behemoths.

There ya go.

Oh come on! Behemoth's aren't small enough for every bullet to hit squarely in the face like this one.

Due to a bug with calculating Criticals, you can deal enough damage to equal a Fat Man nuke. And when you are applying that to a face...

Pulled from the Fallout wiki

Critical hit damage with this weapon is actually applied individually on each pellet the weapon fires in a shot outside of V.A.T.S. If all nine pellets critical hit at the same time (such as in a point-blank sneak attack critical attack), the weapon's total critical damage is 9 x 40 =360. And with the Better Criticals perk, it can go up to 540. Add in the base 80 power of the weapon, and then double the damage because of the sneak attack bonus, and the weapon's total damage turns 1240, quite close to that of the Fat Man. In fact, if the damage is increased further with a head shot, this weapon's destructive power against a single target becomes even greater than the Fat Man, being able to kill even a super mutant behemoth with a single sneak attack critical head shot.

Hooray for game breaking bugs!

Deathclaw, oh god Deathclaws... They never fail to scare the piss out of me. Especially at night with all my dark mods and realistic lighting.

If you don't have a dart gun, a deathclaw is much more deadly. At least behemoths are slow enough that you can run away from them, big enough that you can just duck through a doorway and take potshots at them until they die, and there are only a few of them in the whole game. Deathclaws are fast, powerful, tough as shit, small enough to follow you just about anywhere, and they can gang up on you in certain areas. Plus, unlike behemoths, deathclaws can spawn randomly in the wasteland at high levels, and when that happens they'll usually get the drop on you. The only thing that keeps deathclaws from being the absolute bane of my existence in Fallout 3 is the dart gun, which pretty much renders them about as threatening as a paraplegic bear in a wheelchair with flat tires. New Vegas doesn't have the dart gun, though, and adds new, nastier varieties of deathclaw into the mix to boot, putting them right back on top of the food chain if you can't get the drop on them before they tear you to shreds.

Wouldn't it being a smaller target make it more difficult for every bullet to hit is square in the face?

If the face still fills up the screen, then no. If it was, say, raider or radroach small, then yes. But that Behemoth's head was still sufficiently massive.

You can one-shot deathclaws.

God damn. Well, uh... you can only one-shot behemoths with 1 weapon and Deathclaws have a variety to choose from? It's not much, but I still stand by my opinion.

I just put that there for the lulz btw. I actually agree with you since one dart from the dart gun renders Death Claws (along with anything else that isn't ranged) harmless. So you can make both the Behemoths and Death Claws very easy to kill with the same gun. Behemoth is just harder because like you said, they have more health.
I find Overlords way more difficult because their tri-beam rifles do so much damage and they are pretty accurate with them.

Sounds like Deathclaw all the way.

Love the Final Fantasy pictures

Just for the record, fuck Cazadores. >.<

OT: Deathclaws, damn speedy ninjas with their death-inducing lunge attack that looks like a hug.
