How to quickly kill irradiated Deathclaws in Black Ops 7 Zombies

Deathclaws aren't an ultimate threat on their own and act similar to Shock Mimics in how fast they can move. Therefore, any tough and upgraded weapon should do. However, Irradiated Deathclaws are a different story as these act as HVT Elite Enemies which can kill you in one to two hits even with full health and armor.

If you're on Astra Malorum, use the Apogee Annihlator Trap on Stargazer's Courtyardas the explosives from this trap will obliterate an irradiated Deathclaw within seconds of use. It may take more than one try, so make sure you have 1600 essence for each use and watch out for explosive damage.

If you're playing Ashes of the Damned, use Ol' Tessie to kill the Irradiated Deathclaw. Ol' Tessie is equipped with an Abomination Carcass and a DG-2 Turret once you power up Ashwood in Project RADS mode. This means you can shoot the Irradiated Deathclaw with the Abomination Beam, the DG-2 turret and Ol' Tessie into it, allowing you to stay protected behind the wheel while you kill this cool beast.

If you feel like taking on an Irradiated Deathclaw the old-fashioned way with guns and perks, then we recommend rapid-fire and long-range weapons like the Maddox RFB Assault Rifle or the Predator 45 SMG. These give you a lot of firepower, augmented by Rarity Upgrades and Pack-a-Punch Tiers, allowing you to move quickly to keep your distance from the Deathclaw while still dealing good damage at longer range. For a fight like this, Stamin-Up and Double Tap are the only perks you'll need to maintain DPS and distance.
