Fallout 3: Deathclaw Gauntlet

So you want this kick ass weapon in Fallout 3. Well, like all good things, you have to work for it. The power of a Deathclaw in the palm of your character's hand. Damage dealt to a Super Mutant is massive. One, maybe two swings with this weapon at most to literally blow off the head, arm, and right or left leg of the Super Mutant. SWEET.

The Schematic is with this black stall vendor in Rivit city named Bannon. He runs the clothing store. Go up to him and talk to him about the councle seat and how Seagrave is trying to take it. He offers you a reward for getting dirt on Seagrave and turining Seagrave into the police. Go to Segrave's room (when leaving the marketplace straight to the mid level, go up the short flight of stairs and the door should be the first on your left. Pick the lock on his door. Lock= very easy.). Once you have entered Seagrave's room look all around the bed. At the back of the bed their is a recording. The recording is unimportant. Burn it for fun. Crap it out. What you really want is the letter that is neatly hidden under the bottom corner closest to the door of the room under the bed. It blends in with the bed post. Return to Bannon with the evidence and he'll tell you to report it to Lana Danvers. She is a police chief and will be found sleeping in the bed in the Tower during mid day hours. You can choose to side with Seagraves and tell her that Bannon is blackmailing Seagrave which will award you with Karma and a small discount at his store. No schematics. If you side with Bannon, you get caps, the schematic, and a discount. You lose a little karma. Not much though. I'm still a saint and I gored a police woman with a Deathclaw because she looked at me funny.

Location of Needed Components.

Everything that you need to make the Deathclaw Gauntlet (except the Deathclaw hand) and the Railway Rifle (except the schematic) is supplied at the Pharmacy in the Super Mart. If you don't know where the pharmacy is in the Super Mart? It's straight in line with the front door as you walk into the building. Hop over the counter and either use the key, lockpick, or hack.
To get the Deathclaw hand, walk all the way to the bottom left corner of the map. Their should be a trailer containing a dead body, schematic, bed, health pack, and a RABID STARVING DEATHCLAW. I suggest that you load up on ammo, grenades, mini nukes, and a fat man (Weapon) or missle launcher. Enjoy killing and cutting off the hand of a rare monster.

Have Fun

P.S. Save before any encounter with a Deathclaw. They just don't die. Ever.
