The Tank fights a Deathclaw (Left 4 Dead vs Fallout) (4-0-0)

Tank (Left 4 Dead)

The Tank is a rare form of special infected, and arguably the strongest out of all of them, possessing extensive mutations to muscle mass, giving it superhuman strength, with even a single punch sufficient to send survivors and cars flying. Tier: At least 9-B Name: Tank Origin: Left 4 Dead...

Deathclaws

Deathclaws are a large, agile and strong species of mutant Jackson's Chameleon created through genetic engineering, with the addition of DNA of various other species. However, due to mutation, most of them have lost their color-changing ability. They were later refined by the The Master, who...

They're both pretty much equal in terms of AP, Durability, and LS. Voting the Tank for higher combat intelligence despite being a brute, infinite stamina, and the ability to engage the Deathclaw from a distance by throwing rocks which it can be surprisingly accurate with.

 

[Jamesthetaker]

Just curious: Is the Tank's infinite stamina actually a thing in lore, or is it just a gameplay mechanic that "enemies don't tire"?

The Tank's extended melee range seemed to be based on its size. If so, then both should probably be relative in size since Deathclaw is slightly taller than most creatures in wasteland.

The rock throwing is cool, but Deathclaw is surprisingly agile despite its size. It can still tank the rocks, but you get my point, yeah?

Yes, it is a thing. Common Infected can continue to operate without needing any rest and Special Infected are superior to to them.

This point is fair. I agree.

So it's smart enough to know that bullets kill, and? It doesn't seem freakishly acrobatic like a Hunter so I don't see why a big rock hurled from tens of meters away wouldn't be able to hit it despite being able to hit smaller and more agile targets such as the survivors. The tank itself is also no slouch in terms of agility, being able to climb up high places and jump several meters into the air.

Yeah, the Deathclaw isn't going to dodge the rocks being hurled at it like Neo. I simply mention it as a possibility for the Deathclaw to avoid or tank it.

Let me try to find something for the Deathclaw to win: There are few instances across all games that claim that Deathclaw's claws are able to shred things with ease; this also extends to BoS armor. I suppose the claws could cause some serious damage to the tank.

The claws will be useful against the Tank but that statement about Deathclaws being able to tear through Power Armor could be referring to the stronger instances (Based on the way it was worded, it doesn't sound like a common occurence), ones that would reach 9-A for example which would stomp the Tank. Here, however, we are dealing with a 9-B Deathclaw which the Power Armors are built to fight against and thus wouldn't get torn apart easily.

 

[Jamesthetaker]

Well, that was Deathclaw's best shot. I guess Tank FRA.

Just gonna point out that the deathclaw can also throw stuff like cars and kick up dirt to disorient foes so It’s not exactly stupid. It’s throws aren’t as accurate but I’d put the deathclaw above the tank in terms of combat intelligence. They are likely more advanced in terms of experience considering how dangerous the wasteland is.

Tanks don't discriminate either. They fight both survivors and other infected on a daily basis.

 

[Dusty_Raider]

True but other than Survivors how do the infected fair against it?

Pretty much anything else that isn't a Witch doesn't stand a chance against it and Witches can oneshot survivors.

 

[Dusty_Raider]

The deathclaw usually fights things that can actually threaten it. The Tank seems to stomp everything in it’s way save for a few. I stand by my point about the deathclaw being more experienced in combat.

Not sure if Versus is an accurate depiction of it but Tanks do fight each other and they can be surprisingly strategic.

 

[Dusty_Raider]

Weren’t those player controlled?

Yeah, that's why I said I wasn't sure if it would be an accurate depiction. The rock throwing clip I linked earlier also came from Versus as well.

Bump, lets continue the discussion

 

[MassiveMeddlers]

I remember in Fallout 2 there were Deathclaws who were intelligent enough to talk to humans. Their intelligence is written Animalistic, but it is possible that they are smarter. If they were smarter, maybe the result would change.

Uh, bump
