Ever seen something funny happen in the Capital Wasteand? if yes post it here, if not leave a comment on a story thats here. Mr snip 07:55, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Right near Mason Dixon Salvage a Yao guai started to charge me i pulled out the Lincoln's repeater and shot it in the head just as it jumped. I was crouching so it was above me. It's head popped off and landed right in front of me and the bear flew right over my head and kept flying at a shallow arch for at least 200 yards. This is apparently not too uncommon and there should be videos of similar things on youtube. --Warhammerork 23:00, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Okay I got 2. I was playing around near tenpenny when I went behind the robco facility and found tinker joe's 2 bots the mr handy and the protectron. I thought hmm wheres tinker joe? this is when I saw a dead sentry bot knocked over near the bots so I went to loot it when i noticed something underneath the sentry bot... it was tinker joe! I left for a while and came back another time to see the funny corpses when i saw the 2 bots, dead, on the floor with a dathclaw sniffing the ground. the moral is 1 dont walk around the wasteland without a un and 2 dont program robots to sit near your corpse

The second story is short and simple i was going through the nuka cola plant for the nuka cola challenge when i encountered protectrons i shot a few rounds into the first bot while the other stood behind it until I reloaded which is when the funny part happened the protectron standing behind shot the first to death and continued for me (maybe the protectron was hyped on nuka cola and just wanted to kill me faster) thanks for reading chiiildren, this is three-dog <howl> Mr snip 07:55, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

After picking up Dogmeat from in front of 101 is was under the crumbled overpass between it and Megaton when a green blip came up. I looked around hoping to find Uncle Leo or another encounter I have yet to see. Instead I am eye to eye with a Deathclaw, but he's green and not attacking, just standing there. I run away and come back and it's the same thing, if only I had had a leash. But instead I had a bunch of plasma `nades. Went into VATS and lined up 6 throws, but only needed 1. The nade launched the deathclaw straight up in the air, and with every nade I tossed it just showed the deathclaws point of view and he flies higher and higher over Megaton. after I was done in VATS he didn't land so I continued on only to have the deathclaw land in front of me, barely hurt and now pissed off. Fawkes had to save my ass.

When I got My hands on Lincolns Repeater,i decided to go hunting deathclaws with it,so i went to the deathclaw sanctuary only to find all the deathclaws friendly and wandering around,i decided to ignore them,and go collect the loot nearby,once i had all i needed,i found 4 deathclaws following me,so i took advantage of this and cleared out paradise falls while sitting back and watching the bloodshed,however,once eulogy joes walks out to fac ethem,he runs into them and and Blows up,using a mini nuke explosion and killed my pet deathclaws Werewolfhell 11:08, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

I'm playing the second time through, and I just reached level 20, and just now was going to the serenity pod to find dad. I have Charon loaded up with a lot of my backup armor, and some unique weapons and I don't want to lose him after I get out of the pod, so I tell him to stand outside my Megaton home.

I go through the whole quest, to the point where I've seen daddy bite it and I'm escorting all the scientists back to the Citadel. I just got done blowing away a bunch of enclave baddies and I go back down a hallway to check on my scientists. They're all crouching in fear, but someone is standing upright-- Charon! How the hell did he get there???

I didn't call 911 for him or throw out the bat signal, he just showed up out of the blue! I talked to him and he asked if I had returned for him, yada, yada, yada. I told him, "Let's Go", and we went on our merry way, blowing up soldiers and ghouls.

Still, how did he get there??? LVTDUDE 14:56, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

If you wanna see something funny (provided you havnt already taken them) go to the sewer way station and look at all the teddies in the building (they have a live of their own...well its suggested like that) if mailboxes aren't meant for explosives and live ammo storage then what are they meant for? mail? when hell freezes over it'll be for mail! Mr snip 08:01, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Postman 92626 18:07, 30 January 2009 (UTC) Hey, I think I ran across a wastelander that was rigged to bomb by some raiders. when I approached I think he said something about a bomb and blew up.

okay so i was outside regulator HQ when a bunch of Yao Guai's ganged up on me. fawkes killed the first one then i used the gauss rifle (AMAZING!), shot it in the head and it landed on its back with its arms and legs spread out sideways and its face in a permanent goofy smile. i'm ashamed to say i was sat there, laughing at it for so long my jaw hurt! (zachman553)

I have 2 as well, Both of them involve the awesome physics we call rag doll =]

this First one I was went to evergreen mills because I herd it was a good place for xp, after killing the behemoth there were some raiders to be dealt with on the other side. One of which was standing atop a train, and i decide to V.A.T.S him, but before my aim catches his motion he runs off the train, and i cap him in mid-air. For some weird unexplainable reason, the shots registered in some awkward way, and the rag doll motion cast a few yards up in the air, jerk is body left and right a few times, then throws him across the yard into another building. I died laughing.

The second time, I was on my way to Old Olney ( If I recall correctly I was actually on my way to retrieve the medic power armor prototype )However on my way there I encounter a group of Brotherhood outcast. I think one of them had a ripper, one a rocket, and one was a plasma rifle or something. I made a quick save and decided to fuck around with them, after a while, we come a across a group of raiders who with not to many in numbers but still end up getting the better of us.They manage to get a hold on the rockets, and The only surviving outcast i have with me gets blown away spinning in violent circles with limbs completely spread-out. Almost like a human shuriken. I actually cant find his body, he seemed to have disappeared into an abyss =[ . sry outcast. I died laughing again.

Something happened this morning in the real world that I just have to share.

I was taking my kids to daycare. After pulling into the parking lot, I got my daughter out of her seat and then started to walk around the back of my SUV to get my son out of the other side when I noticed a bobbypin laying on the ground. I had a split second of "Score!!" and then had to stop myself from picking it up.

Anyone else have a moment like that?Nix510 20:27, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Hehehehe,ive had a yao guai rear up on its hind legs and roar,and just as it does,ive gone into VATS and fired a single .44 magnum round from the blackhawk,and it hit it in the throat,out of vats,and its limpless body spraying arterial blood flops to the ground,and its head went spinning upward about 40 feet lol.--Bluemax 21:36, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

lol i was going through the MineField houses, and I went to go find the safe and as i was looking around i found two skellys on top of each other adn i was like WTH? -Hadeiz

Ever since the falls church mini-quest, when I wake up a brotherhood paladin is guarding me. Well one morning in megaton I left my house, and the guy informs me he successfully got me through falls church, yelled "Hostiles incoming!", killed Nathan, and committed suicide by running off a ledge. Nichos354

There was that time when I was in Vault 87 and Star Paladin Cross went in for the kill on a Super Mutant Master. Unbenownst to me. In VATS. With a sniper rifle. Needless to say, two heads were on the floor when the carnage ended, and I couldn't stop laughing. Lemonchowder 12:27, 6 February 2009 (UTC)


I just have one funny experience so far. I was in the middle of nowhere, just scrounging for random stuff and killing mobs, when I came upon a shopping cart cage with a teddy bear inside. I happen to be collecting them for shits and giggles. What I didn't know was that picking up that teddy bear spawns a super mutant behemoth...either that or I was just really unlucky. I picked up the bear, turned around and was staring into a behemoth's kneecaps. I couldn't help but think, 'Oh, is this teddy bear yours? Here you can have it back.' Needless to say he didn't want it back, instead I got a fire hydrant to my face. Zool7 March 16,2009.

I was walking around a night when i heard an explosion i look around and 300 feet in the air a see a random radscorpion falling out of the sky did i mention it was on fire :P. ever happen to anyone else

Lol thats happened to me before:) Anyone know why that happens?

This one is hilarious! So I was wandering around Georgetown when I ran into some SMs. So we had a big gunfight, and since it was around a lot of cars, some were set on fire. So I killed all the muties, then I walk away to jump over a fence that's in my way. While i'm in midair, a car behind me explodes. The game switches to third-person, just in time for me to see my limp body going 300mph and smacking into a pillar. Broeman 21:49, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Was running from a giant rad scorpion because they're ammo-sucking cunts. About 10 yards away from the front of the scrap yard I involuntarily entered dialogue with a wastelander. He apparently needed help with diffusing a bomb strapped on him by raiders (or something like that). I was like 'w/e' so I tried to help but my skill wasn't good enough..so it set off the trigger and I resumed running. However I was just in time to turn around and see him kamikaze the Giant Radscorpion.
Although I wasn't laughing.. =[ poor helpless wastelander.

I was in Raven Rock for the main quest with my Terrible Shotgun, killing everyone and everything d(^_^)b, when an Enclave Soldier from the next room ran in. He didn't fire his Plasma Rifle at me or anything he just kinda...sat there and kept running at me. Once he came up to me close enough for me to get a 1 shot kill with VATS I fired ONCE at his head. His head didnt explode but instead he flew backwards and did 2 back flips in mid-air. And it was all in slow motion thanks to VATS.....I nearly pissed myself laughing. I was only sad that I couldn't record it

--

I was near the Meresti Train Yard when I see Doc Hoff running past me with a limp, being chased by a raider with a sledgehammer. I join in the fun and smack the raider in the back with my own hammer. I go to check if the good Doc’s okay, and he’s still as happy as ever… but moments later he’s turning bright blue before crumbling into a pile of ash. I just get time to look behind me to see another raider armed with the Firelance, before succumbing to the same fate. The moral of the story? Let traders fend for themselves or you’ll get blasted by a maniac wielding an alien weapon.

I fell through the floor once and got p'd off :) and restarted my xbox so much glitches :( --76.68.115.142 00:39, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

On my first playthrough, I was headed for the Farragut West Metro Station to proceed with the story. I hadn't done a single quest until then (kinda rushed through the story) and I didn't have so much weapons with me (just the usual 10mm pistol and a nearly-broken assault rifle, plus a grenade or two). I got caught up in the firefight that usually starts there (leveled raiders fighting 2 Super Mutants armed with miniguns)

At that time, I did not know that cars explode in a mushroom cloud, so I took cover behind a rusted-down Corvega. Some moments later: "BOOOM.... FISSSSSHHHH!". I wasn't dead, but about all my limbs were crippled, and I had about five stimpaks. I popped my only Med-X syringe and ran down to the river, away from the gunfire.

Then, I heard this weird... Star-Wars like laser sound. It sounded like Stormtroopers firing a volley of laser shots. I run up the stairs, and there stands a Wastelander. Armed with a freaking Gatling Laser. I don't even know what the odds are that they spawn with one of those, but I guess they are astronomic.

The Wastelander took down the Raiders before you could say "Fancy Lads Snack Cakes" and then turned to the Super Mutants and turned them in to photon dust. After the firefight was over, I ran over there to thank him, and eventually follow him to scavenge his awesome weapon when he was taken down.

But of course, Irony wanted to play too. The exact moment i neared him, another Corvega gave up the spirit. My last thought before I was ripped apart was: "Oh, COME ON!!!!"

Reloaded the save, and the this time, the wastelander shows up with a Chinese Pistol. There's Irony for you...

My lesson from this was: "The only way you are REALLY awesome is if you wield a Gatling Laser". And thus was born my big-guns character, Don Rambo.

AngryNorwegianDude 09:13, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Lol that is really ironic. i feel sorry for you. Silent.Killa78

I have an ironic story. Had just started a new game and as I was leaving megaton to start the Wasteland Survivor Quest I searched for the Super-Duper Mart on the this wiki. An interesting note caught my eye, seems in front of the Mart is a random spawn with the potential for a Deathclaw to spawn. I was in chat with a friend and told him about it and how glad I was that a deathclaw spawn at my level was insanly rare. I got close to the mart and saw some red dots on my compass and heard some gun fire. 'Oh those darn Raiders attacking innocent Wastelanders' I thought to myself. As I rounded the corner all I saw was 3 mutilated Raider corpses...and wouldn't you know it a Deathclaw. It was the only time I can remember I was thankful Bethesda put a Very Easy difficulty in, not to say I didn't waste most of my ammo and stimpacks. But I had to survive, I wasn't going to let irony win that battle. -Seraph

I had something ironic too.I was looking through the pit (on the pc version) and heard something like "they wont be getting out now." shortly after trogs appeared and tore the raiders a new one,reloaded the save,and the trogs jumped too high,and well............user:werewolfhell went angry................

__

Here is an odd one. I can't remember where this was, but at one point i got in a fight with super mutants (big surprise). I then continued on to my actual destination. About 15 mins time (rl that is), I came back. I looked over, and I highlighted a mutant and the cursor came up "search super mutant". However, the mutant actually had both legs blown off, and was crawling backwards up a hill, from a sitting position, eyes open and alert. That was strange enough. I put him out of his misery (blew his head off) and he fell back, but his rifle in his inventory came out of inventory, and ended sticking straight up between his legs. Screen shot, lol.

A friend and I were unleashing hell on top of Tenpenny Tower with the MIRV. We shot about 200 metres away then a pop up says 'Sergeant RL-3 is Unconsious' and we lost Karma. We laughed for ages. DipCheese 00:17, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

I went on a random rampage of tenpenny tower and i shot gustav with my wazer wifle in the head, knocking him unconcious, he got back up then i turned him into a pile of ash and he materialized out of thin air but the ash pile was still searchable! so i stole his stuff then yet again turned the zombie gustav into another pile of ash and stole his stuff again!

My first encounter with a Yao Guai, i was wondering to the western edge of the wastelnd to see wat happened when you reached the edge i was almost there and it was the dead of night when suddenly ARRRAGHH *massive health loss* i whipped around to find a 6 foot mutant bear wolf thing 2 inches from my face, i barely took it out with my combat shotgun i kept walking thinking that was the end of it when...ANOTHER Yao Guai snuck up on me like a ninja and procedded to smacks dogmeats floppy corpse all the way to vault 13 then rip my limbs off and snack on my organs... then another time when i vats targeted a visious dog the dogs face was priceless its toungue was sticking out and it eye were WIDE open and it had a goofy smile XD


I just got finished the lincoln memorial and waiting on the transport when I decided to fast travel to the northwest metro station to wait. Well out of no where about 20 vicious dogs completely attacks me. i left clover and a shitload of guns at my house. What gun I have on me. Wild bill side arm. lol. They scared the crap out of me. I hate the wasteland at nite. Plus I left the default brightness level for realism. --Lordblak 13:54, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Alright, been a while since I had one of these. But this incident kinda of fell into place..
After a long expedition out in the Wastes, (I think I was gathering mapping data, 'cause I needed caps for RR's quest) I came across a small raider outpost somewhere near the outskirts of The Mall/Capitol area. After so much fighting of creatures and super mutants, I was happy to oblige some raiders.
Upon engaging them in combat, I was too oblivious to realize my badly conditioned weapons/armor. Traveling light is my forte, so my only other change in equipment that provided better protection was...of course...my pre-war casual wear blue jeans and a white tee shirt, along with my red tacoma park little league's cap. After finishing off whaht I could of the raiders, I left one with a sliver of hp, and no weapon, so I decided to chase him for a few seconds. I caugh up from behind him and targeted him with V.A.T's. By chance, the camera pans out in front of us, to give a clear view of the Lone Wonder landing a huge overhand-right, cleaving through the temple of the raider with nothing but his knuckles.
I looked like a mad baseball fan, who just tried defending the losing team against some decked out jock.
Xdarkdragonx 21:53, 22 June 2009 (UTC) Dragon i was walking around the edge of the dc ruins and found a gient rad scorp i just happend to have a beatles song playing and i noticed it wasent hostile and it got up and started flaiing aroud its claws and tail it looked like it was danceing im not kiding at all--Xxuberdood 04:49, 25 June 2009 (UTC)i remeberd another one i felt like messing up megaton im a good char but i save and kill everyone there and reload i blew some 1s head off and i notice its still in mid air with no skin on it but his eyes mouth and brain are still there stareing at me--Xxuberdood 05:08, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

I was in a sewer where I fought some Talon Mercs. Killed two of them then used VATS on the third. Head Crit with Lincoln's Repeater blew away his skull and knocked the body back, but the brain and eyes hovered in place a moment before falling straight down to the floor. i love this when you throw a grenade at some npcs in vats you can hear them say holly shi then boom lol--Xxuberdood 01:02, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

I could easuly make a list twice as long as this one but Im just gonna tell my most recent one so im on my way felling like such a bad ass because I was just about to play Point lookout with what i though was my best character yet, Well im near and exit of the flooded metro which is across from a radier camp. The specific place would be the highway that Tod Howard showed to the public of the first fallout 3 gameplay, well I noticed the raider camp and said to myself that this would be a cake walk and decided that I would jump over the cars blocking the road and wipe them out well the raider happen to notice me and open up, I started to kind of do a terminator style and walk in guns a blazing but then there was a huge explosion whighter than the Magaton bomb I go WTF!!!? and as it turn out the cars hapen to be on fire right when a raider tossed a grenade at my feet well the DUUNN DUNN music starts playinand my screen goes back to normal but instead of a dead body on the ground my body is stuck at least a mile in the sky without any legs what so ever. >Unlonely Wanderer 01:22, 26 June 2009 (UTC)< (Unlonely wanderer)

I think I have the most bugged out ragdoll physics of all time... I'm not kidding when I say that every time I blow something up it flies about 40 ft into the air and starts doing this rubberband-style movement (all the limbs including the torso get "pulled" to different directions) and the body starts flying around erratically. I also manage to get Yao Guai to die with it's legs pointing straight upwards, but it still kinda makes me laugh every time it happens--The Lone Afro 23:29, 2 July 2009 J

I was just playing the pitt after I got the add on pack and was collecting ingots in the steelyard, I encountered a trog and took to him with the mauler. After he was dead his dismembered hand was laying on his crotch. I laughed... I ain't afraid of no troll! *VTHG* 08:55, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

two good stories The first one me and fawkes ran into an enclave camp with a deathclaw me and fawkes kill it no problem and apparently Iit's tail cliped through a rock and was between it's legs. In the end it looked like the deathclaw was humping the rock I loled for an hour

the second time I shot at a molerat and it was on it's back legs running away from me it was pretty lol Lancer AR 06:56, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

I was in the Jefferson Memorial ready to get Project Purity back on line, and I talked to Daniel Agincourt. He pissed me off, so I quicksaved, put away my weapon, and socked him in the face. I then lowered my guard, not wanting to piss off the other project purity scientists. Clover decides he's a hostile, though, and I turn to watch her chase him into the next room while hacking away with a shiskebab. 71.141.130.80 09:15, 6 July 2009 (UTC) i was neer andale and i jumped ona rock and as soon as i landed on it i went flying in the air higher then the houses i thought id die but i barly made it it was funny lol--Xxuberdood 04:00, 10 July 2009 (UTC)


I was with Jericho inside the Springvale School and apparently he took another route and ended up coming through a door in front of me... I got startled and accidentally shot him with my Terrible Shotgun... When his head blew up, i got the message that Jericho had died, thats when i realized he wasnt just another raider... I laughed so hard that i nearly pooped myself. Then i reloaded a saved game


One day, I found myself i Andale... and when i found out something strange was going on, i went down to the basement of the Smith house (or whatever its called). Wheni saw that dude chopped up on the table and the Strange Meat in the Fridge, i ran out the basement and out the fronr door as fast as i could. Only to be approached by the whole damn town. I luckily convinced them that i was a cannibal too. and after the let me go, i just stood there thinking: "Man, that is fucked up..." So i finally concluded that i needed to KILL THESE MAN-EATING MOTHERFUCKERS! So i took out my Xuanlog Assault Rifle and put a shitload of lead into every one of those blood sucking fucks. After that, i left that place and NEVER came back.


In the old part of Rivet City, looking for Pinkerton, fighting against a bunch of Mirelurks. I fell through a hole, on a table, and just as I was getting my bearings back, the last Mirelurk fell in behind me to receive a Combat Shotgun blast in its tiny repulsive face. The thing is, once the Giant Mutated Crab of Doom fell down on the table (which was on its side), the Mirelurk had the side of the table right in its crotch. Since I shot him right as it landed behind me, the Mirelurk stayed upright, with the table snuggly stuck between its legs, in what looked like the "Officially Most Uncomfortable Position Ever". I saved then, to forever keep this beautiful image of "Mirelurk-with-table-between-its-balls" in my 360 memory.--SpaceZombieMoe

Inside the capitol building - after watching the behemoth take out what I thought were all the talon mercenaries, I snuck up to the entrance of the room and took him down with the Terrible shotgun. As he fell, one remaining merc ran into the room, picked up the fatman and fired right at me... and the nuke ricocheted off the door frame above me and bounced straight back at him, exploding right in his face.

At one of the campground areas I caught a deathclaw in mid-leap with a paralyzing palm attack - I was laughing so much that I forgot to finish him off before the paralysis wore off and had to duck inside one of the trailers before he had his revenge.

Stood on the balcony of Tenpenny Tower I couldn't see any targets down on the ground so I fired off a mini-nuke just to see how far it would go... kerching - 120xp. Never found out what I hit. GodlessMunkey 03:19, September 27, 2011 (UTC)

decapitating a yao guai, then watching its' body flip in the air

After taking out a couple of Super Mutants near Wilhelm's Wharf, I was on my way back to Megaton, when I ran into a couple of Talon Company Mercs. I killed one and when I turned to kill the other, I fired a shot at his head at point blank range. The head exploded, and the body shot straight up into the air, and disappeared(there were chunks of the guys head left so I could still scavenge the body for armor, weapons, and ammo).--Ryker6104:39, September 30, 2011 (UTC)~9:38pm 9/29/2011. "For the struggle of survival is a war without end!"

I'm not sure how often this happens, but a characters head managed to disappear yet I was still able to talk to them. I wish I could remember what I was doing leading up to that event. However, all that was there was viewable was disembodied eyes and teeth, every other part of the head was missing. It was pretty weird speaking to disembodied eyes and teeth.


Well, paladin Hoss has had quite a few good adventures on my game , after i finished his mini quest , he starts appearing all over the place , one time i go to Hubris comics just to explore it , and whadya know, theres hoss and his paladin buddy !! sprinting out the door eager to fight the super mutants using his pathetic 10mm and the others laser rifle , i decided to follow him and see how the super mutants would obliterate him , but to my surprise , a group of talon company mercs appeared and started shooting me , and completly ignored hoss , who managed to sneak past the mutants , into a feral ghoul reaver infested metro tunnel , after i was done cleaning up the mess , i followed him in , only to fight through tons of reavers , and discover Hoss and his buddy completly unharmed , and leaving through the door to falls church ?!! then he pulls out a chinese assault rifle and kills 2 mutants ??!!! this guy is full of surprises , he also appeared on mothership zeta once :P

While wandering around exploring I found myself in a small town (I don't think it has a name, it's just kind of there). I then saw 3 red blips coming toward me. Being level 30 and well-armed, I wasn't worried. As the enemies came into view it was 3 Enclave soldiers. As the fire-fight began I noticed something odd, they were yelling at me in raider voices. I dispatched them and removed all 3's armors to find that they were indeed raiders in Enclave armor. I can't help but imagine three Plasma Rifle packing Enclave guys getting destroyed by a group of raiders with lead pipes. --Delta Jim (talk) 00:29, October 24, 2012 (UTC)

I started the quest given by Dr Zimmer in Rivet City where I had to find a missing android. I decided to do that quest later and instead find Pinkerton to learn the true history of Rivet City. After doing so, I attempted to leave through the underwater door. As I approached the door some random lady was just swimming in place staring at me! I had barely any time to think because my oxygen was running out and I quickly went through the door, astounded at what I saw. Later, in Rivet City, I stopped and my character turned around to see that EXACT same woman, who then talked about the android and wanted me to convince Dr Zimmer that he's dead. I realised then that she was trying to talk to me, but in the weirdest spot! Has this happened to anyone else? --Haydos271 Discussion 04:58, March 24, 2013 (UTC)


I was just playing killing some raiders. So I'm done with most of them when out of no where a deathclaw just walks around the corner like he is all of our friend. Just "Hey guys, how's it going?" like.


A few days ago, I was out on the catwalk of SatCom Array NW-05a messing around with my Victory Rifle, testing range and irritating nearby enemies. I spotted a couple of Deathclaws a little ways off (just out of killing range, but close enough that I could draw their attention), and I decided it'd be funny to draw them toward the tower (and toward some Enclave soldiers that were desperately searching for me). I love watching a good brawl from a safe height, so I kept baiting the Deathclaws and eventually caught their aggro. I figured I'd let them rage around the base of the tower while I brought in the Hellfire Troopers, because, you know, I'm safe up there on the catwalk. I fire a couple playful shots at the pissed off Deathclaw to keep him interested (don't want him to get bored waiting down there) and turn around and start walking around the catwalk. Next thing I know, the Deathclaw pops out onto the catwalk like "SURPRISE, MOTHERFUCKER!", not 5 feet away from me. I just about shit my pants. Haven't "noped" that hard since the first time I ran into a SM Behemoth. And that was when I learned that Deathclaws know how to operate doors.

I had another funny Deathclaw experience earlier today outside the Capital Building. I had just finished clearing out some Super Mutants when I ran across the little Enclave setup on the west side (little encampment with a Deathclaw cage, and an officer and a couple troopers). As I'm running up preparing to lay waste, a vertibird decides to stop by to drop off reinforcements, so I pull out my Fatman and let loose a mini-nuke. Everything dies, the vertibird vanishes entirely: a flawless victory. Then out of nowhere, there's a damn Deathclaw standing in front of the cage, so I figure, what the hell, and pull out my gun. Before I get a shot off, the Deathclaw shoots straight up in the air, way up into the sky, and vanishes. I stand there waiting to see if it comes back down (seemed logical), and another one spawns in the same spot! I manage to get exactly one shot off before the same thing happens. Well, no more Deathclaws spawn so I go over there to collect my loot, keeping an eye to the sky in case they decide to come back down. As I'm rummaging through the Hellfire Troopers' bodies, I hear a familiar growl and find myself being thrown 50 feet or so. One of the fuckers had apparently come back and snuck up right behind me. I still have no idea where it spawned from, or ran up from. -MADHATTER 12.156.157.242 [05:39, August 24, 2015 (UTC)]

A couple! But I'll share the best. This first one (It actually happened with my brother, but I still feel like this needed to be said), my brother was walking through the Glowing Sea and hunting Deathclaws (Me and my brother both do this.). He had a really badass Gauss Rifle that does 300 damage with all his perks combined. So, he finds... two Deathclaws! The weird thing? They're fighting each other. My brother and I sit there in awe, watching them duke it out. Finally, one of them kills the other, and my brother shoots the winner and sends him about 15 feet away.

Another time, I was going to the Glowing Sea (Because at the time, I was a noob and didn't know what awaited me there.). I found a house, and I figured, "Why not go in?". So I went in, and there were a couple of Raiders and some dogs. Killed the raiders and the dogs easily, but there was one dog left. At the time, my weapon was a Bladed Tire Iron, so I lopped it's head off. The dog's head hit the floor, and spun around like a top on it's muzzle for about 10 seconds straight, before falling over.

One last one. I was about level 9, and I had heard of this cool place called the Dunwich Borers (A.K.A, hell.)! So I figured, "Why not?". So I started heading East. Along the way, I happened to encounter Malden Middle School. Now, this story has nothing to do with the Vault underneath the school. Instead, it's talking about the Legendary Super Mutant Behemoth standing in front of it. My brother immediately told me to run, but apparently I had some more balls that day then I thought, because I quicksaved it and went at it. After about 5 or 6 deaths, I decided to use the Cryolator (I had Dogmeat take it with the glitch). So I froze it to death. May not be the funniest story, but it's one of my Crowning Achievments as a Fallout 4 noob. -Anonymous
