[@CWB342]

It makes sense for the cazadors to lay regular eggs instead of mimicking a tarantula hawk. Their prey has expanded to include a larger variance in body size, so the process may not work as well as in a tarantula. They also have larger bodies and brains that take longer to develop, meaning that cazadors need parents that stick around the nest to teach the young. This is seen in game as young Cazadors follow their parents around like young predator animals IRL. I rest my case.

So I finally convinced my little sister to play this game all the way through. When she started taking the North Route out of Goodsprings after defeating Joe Cobb's gang, I started giggling a little bit but didn't say anything. She told me to knock it off. Then, when she saw the first young cazador (after having taken out a couple bloatflies in Goodsprings' Cemetery), she said "okay, this route doesn't look to hard." I could barely stifle my laughter. To her credit, she managed to take it out with her 9mm sub. Then, no less than FOUR adult Cazadores descended from the fucking cliffside, and I started laughing like a goon as she let out a little squeak of terror and ran in the opposite direction before getting murdered immediately. Going North of Goodsprings and getting ganked by Cazadores is one of those essential, classic Fallout experiences that everyone who plays this game has, and it made me instantly nostalgic. Then she said, "Okay, so I guess I'm not going that way. How the hell do I get to Vegas?". I replied, "So, the best way to get there is through this middle path here. You'll know it when you see a crane. Make sure you sneak past the guy in the yellow hard hat..."

TBH, no deathclaw has every stricken the same fear as a cazadore. You can react quickly and still die by its massive poison damage. Flies, allowing it to travel all terrains extremely quickly and making little sound, giving it the ability to surprise and close the distance in an ambush as well as be fast enough to never allow its prey to get away. An antimaterial rifle is my Ol' reliable for deathclaws as its high damage per shot on a big target is efficient, my best weapon for a cazadore is a companion for it to kill first.

[@ironwolf2244]

.. the 76 generation likes to talk about how difficult it is to kill a Scorchbeast. But they haven't fought Cazadores. You can dodge a Scorchbeasts sonic attack, they land(which gives you ample time to flank them, or set up defensive positions), and they have a large surface making it easier to hit. A Cazadore is smaller, quicker. And they have poison attacks. Unless you're a marksman(cripple the wings or legs) or use high damaging weapons like explosives or energy weapons(explosive suppression or energy penetration of it's exoskeleton), you'll have a rough go of it.

Who would win: A combat hardened wastelander in a multi-million dollar suit of highly effective military armor powered by its own nuclear fusion drive and firing a high efficiency 5mm Gatling gun which costs a total of one thousand caps to fire continuously for one minute, along with a military sniper with hundreds of kills to his name and an experimental piece of government technology which can fire laser bolts. Or one stingy bastard.

[@hazydoom69]

I remember taking the wrong road in goodsprings my first playthrough and Victor rolled up and told me no. So I listen to him and start walking back towards town only to turn my head around and see Victor ripped limb from limb by a creature I had never seen before who then faced me and flew forward. I immediately hit vats and Lord have mercy I stopped time with ones face inches from mine.

[@silent_stalker3687]

I wish bigger Caza’s would pop into smaller ones when you killed them, like the bugs in brotherhood of steel. Was hoping that would happen at the big empty...

[@Sonicracer100]

This is cursed

[@silent_stalker3687]

@@Sonicracer100 if I wanted it to be cursed I’d just had the Casador have a 50/50 hit chance of adding a Caza spawn upon death of NPC injured Imagine taking Boone or any of the others with you to the final mission, they die and the entire map is swarmed with casadors spawning from their corpse. Kinda like the Ark xenomorph mod where the guy just was in the middle of a face higher orgy, snuck into a enemy camp and 40+ xenomorphs exploded out dorm within him.

Accidentally crippling a Cazador's wing in a blind, 40mm grenade filled, panic is probably one of the most helpful things I've accidentally stumbled across.

I really like this professional wildlife historian style, with real information and good investigative gaming. Well crafted.

[@sokumotanaka9271]

I've never had an issue or fear of cazadors, deathclaws on the other hand being almost uneffected by energy weapons. having annoying tough damage threshold, they're quick and can just...choose to ignore your armor? (Among the fact they can always outrun you) I think Cazadors were just too hyped up on my end, never were so frightening or hard. Deathclaws though? Hate those things.

[@jwisemanm]

The issue with Cazadores is that most new players tend to encounter them early on "taking a shortcut" out of Goodsprings. And on top of that they are quick, have a fair amount of hp and dr, hit like truks, it's very difficult to sneak up to them or avoid them, and you are always (almost) fighting at least 3 or 4 of them at once... being swarmed by those things is a nightmare. FNV deathclaws are very tough indeed, and they shred trough power armor like it was tin foil... but once you got the antimaterial rifle and the right ammo they became way easier. Caz, on the other hand, are still hard to hit.

[@sokumotanaka9271]

@@jwisemanm Sounds exactly like a death claw cept you can't outrun those. Even on my first playthrough cazadors werent a problem cause they have the issue of having to stop for a sec to attack and zig zagging, the poison was only a problem on hard and on hard a death claw slapping the air near you could destroy you. Not to mention alot of shortcuts lead to quarry junction or that landfill which I accidently stumbled on, at least you can sneak past cazadors even if I had a stealthboy those damn dinos always seemed to know where I was and one shot me, I always had more than one hit with a cazador and they definetly weren't tanky enough to survive being shot in the face like D.C's would shrug off.

[@jwisemanm]

@@sokumotanaka9271 mmm... wew had very different experiences. Deathclaws were never much of a problem for me, and one I got my grabby hands on the antimaterial rifle they became almost (ALMOST) easy to take care of from a distant. The fact that they seldom move when not fighting helps. Meanwhile, Cazadores remained the bain of my existence no watter what level I was on. Sure, I could kill them and they weren't going to kill my curier after a few levels... but man they were still annoying as hell to deal with...especially outside of VATS.

[@togglefire3537]

I was always terrified of cazadors. I don't know what it was but I think it had something to do with when they swarm you. But I then realized that any type of shotgun can make them incapable of flying. Either use vats or be quick enough to aim for a wing and if you barely even tag it, it'll be crippled. I'm not sure but I think the wings only have a one or two damage resistance stat on it.

[@doomasameer5481]

i can almost imagine a quest to find a missing person only to find him deep inside a cazadores nest alive and conscious filled with larva only for him to beg you to put him out of his misery. dang
