Guarding a Settlement with Deathclaws.

[Zawarudo]

Hey guys, I just learned that creatures you capture with a cage and tame with a beta emitter will raise the security of settlements!

Thats so cool! I got really tired of chasing materials for those advanced turrets... It seems tho you cant mix your pets tho... deathclaws will attack other tamed animals :(

Which of them do you think is the best option for settlement security? I think I will fill mine with those albino ones! :D

Creature defense ratings:

Bloodbug: 3

Brahmin: 0 (provides resource bonuses instead)

Cat: 0 (boosts settlement happiness instead)

Deathclaw: 10

Feral ghoul: 4

Gorilla: 10 (also boosts happiness)

Junkyard dog: 5 (also boosts happiness)

Mirelurk: 6

Mole rat: 4

Mongrel: 4

Mutant hound: 5

Radroach: 1

Radscorpion: 7

Radstag: 2

Yao guai: 7

interesting.
i always resent how much turrets add to the build limit, where as the cages ad little, and the animals add defense.
i didn't know this.

I'm planning on using them (animals & beta wave emitter) with my Pack raider character for defense of raider outposts tbh. only drawback is that you can only have one tamed type of animal at a time, but you can have junkyard dogs, cats, gorillas, and brahmin as well, so you could have those four PLUS deathclaws/yao guai/insects/whatever

Errrr. No. There is a slight problem with that idea. If you have a captive deathclaw in your settlement it wall cause the settlement to be attacked by groups of deathclaws. That is not good. Unless you have mega defences.

of course you have mega defences - you have a DEATHCLAW! or five. so what if settlers go missing every other day?

I think you only atract those hostile npcs when they are caged. Once released I think theres no problem. And you can always store the cages after you are happy with the ammount of new friends!

Yep:

It is important to note that hosting captured non-domesticated creatures of any kind in a settlement will make that settlement the target of regular attacks by other members of the captured species or faction.

The beta wave emiter domesticates them.

Nope again. You are reading that wrong. You can catch domesticated critters like brahmin, cats, and junkyard dog. Or you can catch non-domesticated critters like deathclaws. The beta emitter keeping them doscile does not make them domesticated.

But try it. Why not. See what happens.
