01
Deathclaw Island
Small island southeast of Vault 76, with a nest at its center. This one spawns at level 21, so it is a rare Deathclaw a newer survivor can actually take.
DeathclawSpawn Locations
Tracking a Deathclaw in Appalachia? The Archive logs 3 spawn locations for it across The Forest, Cranberry Bog, and The Mire. Server population and active events shift the odds, but these are the spots the field notes keep returning to.

Thunder Mountain Substation
Power substation in the Bog. The Deathclaw here usually spawns mid-brawl with a pack of giant ants, who do some of the softening-up for you.
03
Abandoned Waste Dump
South of Haven Church and northeast of Harpers Ferry — the dump hides a nest with two guaranteed spawns, plus a hidden bunker entrance in the wall behind it. The most reliable multi-Deathclaw stop in Appalachia.
