No Deathclaws...

[reubenmd12]

I've heard a lot about these terrifying fiends of the Wasteland. I'm at 79 dwellers, and things seem to be going smoothly - wouldn,t the Deathclaws show up around now? (I do have the radio room set to just the vault, and this may be why. If so, does that mean they only show up with radio, and never by chance?)

Deathclaws will begin to attack when the vault has 60+ dwellers.

According to in-game information, deathclaws are more likely to attack the vault if the vault doors are opened, immediately after sending dwellers to the wasteland or on quests and if there is a radio station broadcasting out to the wasteland.

Like all of the other ensounters, they are random. Sending out dwellers and making the radio room broadcast to the wasteland will increase the chances of Deathclaws finding your vault. Every time that you radio room's counter reaches zero, you will have a chance that either a dweller will show up, or a random attack And yes, having more than one radio room broadcasting to the outside CAN attract multiple attacks! Bottle and Cappy don't seem to attract them for some reason? Just give it time. They WILL show up!

And when they do, be prepared! Have your highest leveled dwellers equipped with your most powerfull weapons on the first floor. I suggest, when you have spare dwellers, to make two of them guard the entrance, to soften up anything that finds its way in. My normal setup is to have two level 50's in the entrance with 22+ dmg weapons, and a three wide radio room with the best weapons that I have at the time, and a Mr. Handy, for that little extra. That's usually enough to keep them from advancing to the second level. I had my radio room set up with missile launchers and fat mans, but soon found out that with the slow rate of fire, that the Deathclaws won't take enough damage, and would continue to terrorize the rest of the vault. So along with high damage weapons, make sure they have a decent rate of fire. It isn't mandatory to have this, but it helps if you don't like deathclaws roaming around below the first couple of levels.

Ok, it just happened. I was able to fight them off with no casualties, after they reached the second level. It used a lot of StimPaks. Also, my three regular questing dwellers were home at the time, which helped massively. If they weren't... ouch, perhaps.

I've faced four attacks now, some fully staffed and others not. I've lost one dweller.

Solid advice. Also, be well stocked with Stimpaks before you open the door, bacause you'll need about 20 (at least, I seem to)

a bunch of power armor guys with some big guns in the entrace and the first rooms and mines don't even reach second floor most of times

Deathclaws attacked me yesterday (mobile version) and my vault had 24 dwellers ATM. They got destroyed on the second floor
