F***ing Cazadores.

Fallout New Vegas cazadores; possibly the least favorite thing about the game. how do people kill them? and what sort of level do they stop being a problem at?

Legion troops usually carry antivenom. Loot it from them, and you will be that much more prepared the next time you face one.

At low levels I tend to avoid them as much as possible. At higher levels I find automatic weapons are a huge help as they have no natural armor (or very little) so I suggest assault carbine or minigun for guns laser rcw and gatling laser for energy weapons. If you have Old World Blues the heartless perk is essentially a hard counter for cazadores (no poison, no problem)

They stop being a nuissance to people with submachine guns and good criticals. You see, Cazadors are high-speed, low armor. Their main threat is being too much of a pain to kill firing at the hip. Fortunately, VATS and a burst of 9-10 mm ammunition has a high chance of cracking their exoskeleton like eggshells. Oh, and have poison antidotes handy for AFTER combat, which will last only a few seconds, regardless of the result.

I just let ED-E and Cass shoot them a bunch. Seemed to work. Though that's also because I was playing an unarmed, non-stealth playthrough.

Downing the legendary beastie was certainly satisfying though.

A cazadors strength is in its speed. Cripple their wings - no matter what level you are - and they cease to be a nuisance.

hit the wings, usually works just spraying the wings with a 10mm machine gun.
