Current Events > What are your opinions on Cazadores in Fallout New Vegas?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Game's been out for a while.
Have you grown more appreciative of what they contribute to the game?
Or do you feel a different way?

They're cool

They're just hunting shotgun fodder, though their weirdly quick movements definitely make them a bit harder to get a bead on compared to almost every other enemy in the game.

They're a great enemy

As sterile as they are docile.

Good choice for an enemy. Not exactly the strongest, but definitely one of the fastest. The fact that poison is actually quite deadly in NV (unlike poison in F1 & 2) makes cazadores especially dangerous.

I wouldn't have mindee if they were nerfed a bit so that their range was a little lower. Most of the time they'll spot you long before you spot them, unless you know exactly where they hang out so you can sneak past them.

I really like that thing where you're walking and you suddenly start seeing red dots on the compass quickly going left and right and you have a decision to make.

I do like that OWB gives you optional damage bonuses and poison immunity against them but I don't like that there's no quick and easy cutscene skip button for the beginning and end cutscenes of the DLCs.

Second only to deathclaws in terms of freaking scariness.

Theyre basically mutant tarantula hawks, which is dope.

I always make a beeline for OWB and poison immunity.

Then I trade that frustration for trying to kill a Roboscorpion with my fucking worthless ass level 10 peashooter.

Waifu material

I'm sure in a parallel anime dimension, they look like fairies with the blue/orange color scheme instead of giant bugs.

I always see how far I can get in Lonesome Road early in a new run just because the Marked Men and the commissaries are such a good source of decent weapons and caps up front. If it's a guns run I try to get Paciencia and two followers to take aggro as fast as possible.

I'd only run straight to OWB first thing if it was a melee/unarmed run and I'd be able to Super Slam my way through the enemies. It's gotta be worth the long cutscenes.

I spent a lot of time in FO76, so I wasn't prepared for how dangerous deathclaws were in New Vegas. Oh, look at the tiny one, I should be safe. Nope.
