InFallout Shelter, there are many threats that your Vault will face as you strive towards progression generating resources to keep your Dwellers alive and well.
One of these threats comes in the form of a hulking monstrosity called a Deathclaw. The monster that will attack your Vault and show up during certain quests. As these creatures will also provide XP toyour Dwellerswhen defeated, knowing how to take them down efficiently can come in handy.
How to Beat Deathclaws in Fallout Shelter
InFallout Shelter, your Vault will start receiving occasional Deathclaw attacksonce you reach 60 Dwellers and above, or35 Dwellers and aboveif you happen to beplaying insurvival mode. Aside from regular Deathclaws, there are also Alpha Deathcalws and Enclave Deathclaws, which are more powerful variants of the monster that only appear during quests.
The first step to defeating Deathclaws is to ensure that as many of your Dwellers as possiblehave weapons and armor equipped at all times(especially if you are sending them out on quests that may have Deathclaws) or out toexplore the Wastelandfor a long period. This will enable your Dwellers to dish out more damage and survive the incoming attacks, defeating the Deathclaws.
As you never know when Deathclaws may attack, it’s a good idea to keepahealthy supply of Stimpaksstashed up at all times. This way, you will be able to regenerate the HP that your Dwellers lose during the Deathclaw attack, enabling them to survive and emerge victorious. As a last resort, if you are struggling against Deathclaw attacks and need to stop them altogether, then you’re able to achieve this byremoving Dwellers from your vaultuntil you haveunder 60 Dwellersif on standard mode, orunder 35 Dwellersif you’re playing Survival mode.
Lastly, it’s important to note that Deathclaw attacks tend to happen more frequently after the doors to your Vault have recently been opened, such as when you send Dwellers out to explore the Wasteland. In addition to this, there is a possibility that if you are usinga Radio Studioto broadcast signals to the Wasteland, you may also attract Deathclaw attacks to the Vault. If you want to try and avoid Deathclaw attacks for a while, then toggling the Radio Studio’s signal switch to Vault may help.
