Behind the scenesEdit

One of the weapons used for this challenges, the switchblade, is a reference to the beginning of the game. If the player selects a high level of Strength at the Vit-o-matic Vigor Tester, Doc Mitchell will comment that they look like they "could go deathclaw hunting with a switch."

BugsEdit

• PC Playstation 3 Xbox 360 Following a patch, most Mojave deathclaws have been altered to Quarry Junction's special deathclaws (identifiable by their 500HP), and will not count towards the challenge. Deathclaw mothers and alpha males will still count towards the challenge, as well as the adult deathclaws in Quarry Junction and those that fight in The Thorn. ^[verified]
• PC Playstation 3 Xbox 360 If you kill a deathclaw with the recharger rifle, its kill count towards this challenge may stop at around three. ^[verified]
• PC Playstation 3 Xbox 360 If you kill deathclaws with the silenced .22 pistol, the challenge will stop at 4/5. ^[verified]
