Where can I get a Deathclaw Gauntlet?

[Fairy]

Where do you have the best luck finding them? I am trying loot paths but having no luck. Trying to find the plan but I doubt I can craft it when I do. Saw one person selling a 3 star Bloodied for 7.5k. Probably a good price but am broke.

Maybe google it to have some hints ... .

I did do that and have been following the loot paths as I said above. Not having any luck in finding them. Someone might being getting there before me or rng doesn't like me.

ugh. I just saw one in a bath tub somewhere, but my memory ... isn't, so I'm not sure where it was.
Maybe the wiki has a list of where you can find them in the wild. It often does.

There are plans to make one. You need a death claw arm and some other stuff like bone. After its made you get a mod to add a 3rd claw for additional damage. The you can do an update to get 3 stars. They are around. I dont know what level you have to be to use the first one. I just sold a nice one, a vampire.

before the dlcs you can actually get the gauntlet from scrapping deathclaw arms and it was a 1/20 chance, not that doesn't exist bc "balancing" reasons?

Just buy some random legendary melee weapons from the pick. You should get one probably within a few rolls.

If you're still having trouble I believe I still have a Super Mutant Slayers faster swing speed perfect for eviction notice. I prefer the upgraded mole miner claw to be honest; something about using the skeletal remains of a potentially sentient being without the balance of human options just doesn't sit well with me. Also, mole miner claw is actually just three combat knives glued to a wrist brace. Way better.

I saw the plans for it at one of the whitesprings vendors earlier, though if it's this much trouble may as well just grind for the bear fists(I forget the proper name) while you look, the plans for that are a rare reward from the event where you feed/protect the creatures(don't remember that name either, been an age since I bothered trying to get it done)

Or, get rep up with foundation and grab the gauntlet, which is probably the best unarmed weapon, since you get 75% armour pen with a perk, the powerfist's bonus is next to non-existent.

Good luck on the bear claw. It's one of the few plans I have been unable to acquire on my own grind.

Yea, I know, I never got one either, that's one of the few events that I can't solo(don't think it's even possible to solo), meaning it rarely gets done, defending those things with melee isn't the easiest thing to do, lol, I would love to have it though, even if I've never even seen one, lol.

Op... Get it through Project Paradise. It's all luck though; you could get the plan the first time you complete the event. As uni mentioned gauntlet is the best *melee* weapon outside of auto-weapons. Mod it with electric damage. I still prefer any of the claws to it for feel of play, however. The claws are just more fun. If you're gonna punch something you want a good pair of spiked knuckles to feel right after you lay a horde out.

Yeah Uni you can solo it but getting all three creatures to survive is a matter of pure luck I have not managed. You can manage to herd two in to the same area easy enough... Friendly Fire is your best friend for that quest, also doing the additional part to heal the monsters might help but FF makes it kinda moot. Sadly any less than 3 animals surviving drastically cuts if not completely negates the possibility of earning the plan. I do not recommend attempting it...

If so, nuka mines are your friend.

The trick to solo Project Paradise is to fail one first. On that failed run collect Moist Radkelp, you'll keep it after event fails.

Next run you instantly get a Mirelurk King and move to one of the other zones. You can get both to level 3 if you're quick but there is another trick.

Focus on the Venison (I think... could be sludge) but leave both other zones at level 0. They will spawn flying insects which are remarkably resilient as they fly away from combat, even the Anglers fire spit isn't too damaging.

I've done solo 2 animals with the occasional 3 just by leaving them as insects. Only the ground insects will die quick so better to buff them to something else.

The last time I did it, all three were in the same room, which I don't think I've seen before. I wasn't present at the start so I have no idea how that was done, though (and maybe herding all three just isn't possible to do solo).

But then, I have no idea about most things with that event. It's just confusion. I have no idea where to go, or how to get to other rooms, or what the stuff you need to collect looks like or anything. And it also used to be the last boss would die so fast there was no chance of tagging it (even if I'd known how to navigate the place), so I also always lost out on a legendary. Slightly better chance of getting that loot now, though it generally still dies out of range and/or I can't find it after...
Judging from how often the event doesn't get done, I may not be alone in having issues.

Stop trying so hard.
As soon as you give up on it, one will appear.

Just make sure to do a few events so one can drop.

Go to each item spawn spot, kill creatures and loot the radkelp/sludge/radstag meat, kill the molerats that pop up for more sludge, use the gathering perks (flora and meat respectively) to halve the time necessary to collect radstag meat and kelp. Once the critters come, keep them alive until the timer runs out. Kill boss, though it's at times too tough to take damage and other times goes down in under 30 seconds regardless of who starts the quest (glitchy). I usually pick the weakest critter and follow it with friendly fire.

If you wanna solo it Mooman's advice is, as is frequently the case, probably the best advice.
