Is there a minimum level for taming a deathclaw?

[zeredis]

I hit 32 and got my perk card, but havent seen a spawn, is it that rare or is it because of my level? I keep reloading at the moth home near harpers ferry so I can run down and check the underpass at the road

Don't think there's a level requirement other than having the necessary perk card maxed. Random Death claw spawns are rare, but do happen. Usually with other enemies though. And if it's a bunch of super mutants you need to save the Deathclaw, because they will lay on the hurt and kill them. Super mutants OP.

See I had something similar happen, with an alpha deathclaw, dude had a cool mark on his face,

but I did save him, gunned down the mutants, but he was still mad and ran at me, no option to tame or anything so I had to kill him,

Other time, in the same harpers ferry spot, I had a level 60 glowing one spawn, level diff, and he was very mad lmao

Yeah the Albino always spawns with other mobs so you can't tame it. You can only tame the animals that spawn solo at the specific spawn points and you must have the Animal Friend maxed out in order to tame a Deathclaw.

If you are checking that underpass near the Red Rocket that has the Floater spawns you should eventually see one. I've seen one there multiple times but it was when i didn't have Animal Friend equipped so I missed out.

Nop, the deathclaw must spawn alone, no enemies around, just with the perk card equipped all time, and check random spawns; there are maps scattered thru internet, the spawn are divided in 4 major categories: assault, scene, object and travel, if you can find one updated, check for scene random spawns, those are the spawns you want to spawn random creatures and tame them.

PS: also, and this is a tip, for max benefits, try to have 2 camps in your account, 1 camp to "search and tame the creature you want" and the second camp as "final destination", why? when you first tame a creature he will come as standard lvl (and depending where is your camp, area themed, same deathclaw but if your camp is in the mire will be radiated, if is in forest, the standard, etc) when your pet arrives at first camp (the most suitable place is very near of some spawn points, less pet walk, less chance to die) you must change to second camp, pet will go to the second camp, then d/c, wait 5-10 minutes and return to game, the deathclaw will be at your second camp, but at max lvl (100), standard lvl will be the lvl when you tame it, and also themed.

Ah ok, I didn't know you couldn't tame one that spawns with others. Damn that really narrows down the possibilities to tame one. I haven't tried though. I once had a rad stag in my camp, but it disappeared when I relocated my camp. Apparantly it can die when traveling between camps. It's only invulnerable when at your camp... SUPER lame.

But I do miss people going to my camp and trying to gun it down.

Idunno if its by the Red rocket, i dont got many spots unlocked on that side of the map, its near the 108 sign, I load in at the moth home and walk forward a bit until im at an underpass, ive seen them spawn there in videos before but the only luck I saw was with the glowing one that beat the ♥♥♥♥ outta me lol

Its vulnerable, always, in your camp or traveling, but you can heal him as pet owner, just shoot at him, any ammo, no perk card required.

Eh? Mine was 100% invulnerable. Had a couple level 1K players try to kill it with OP guns. Did nothing. They can however be hurt by other NPC's. Which is also super lame.

Maybe bethesda changed the mechanic.. talking about my experience when i had a pet, just some rando came and killed it laughing like the crazy nerd without life he was....

one, its a rare spawn and second there is a pool of pets to tame, not only the deathclaw, there are cats, mirelurks, mirelurk kings, yao guay, etc, so take it easy, imagine how hard it is, at old times there were some business involved to tame specific pets and sell them to ppl paying in caps for the service....

[Lerch2000]

the old rule was 2x times the creature's level, but since they gave the ability to scale, I honestly don't know anymore.

i know all bout rare spawns from playin WoW, just figured it would be a bit easier, thinking that each reload refreshes the spawn, but yeah, ive just heard my friends getting it in only a handfull so I thought it was a bit more obtainable

I've tamed many Deathclaws. Always have at least one on each of my chars (you can have different pets at different camps).

Definitely need Animal Friend maxed out to tame Deathclaws. From my experience they have as much chance to spawn as any other tamable pending on the region you are searching.

I've read that at one time you needed to be twice the level of the creature you are taming. But that has definitely changed, if it was ever a thing to begin with. I've tamed Deathclaws that were the same level as my character.

Your best bet is searching the Cranberry Bog since there are several tamable spawn locations that are close together.

Just follow the map on this page https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Fallout_76_random_encounters

Every red square marker on that map is a scene encounter which will spawn a random encounter which includes the chance of tamable animals. I will usually start either at the top or bottom of the Cranberry Bog region and run to each location on that region of the map then hop servers if I have no luck. I usually find a Deathclaw within a few tries if lucky.

Pretty sure there is no level requirement. My wife has tamed Megasloths while around level 32 and I believe they are the other tamable aside from Deathclaws that require maxed out animal friend.

Cranberry Bog? I load in at cranberry glade and I th ought a spawn happens directly infront, and a little behind it, I really appreciate all the information! I do have animal friend maxxed, just thought maybe I had something done wrong cause I just was having no luck, I got to tame a scorched yao guai but thats it lol
