You may find that you need to use stim packs on your dwellers during the fight.

If you want some floating guards that you can use in an emergency, put an asterisk or exclamation point at the start of their name (like *Bob) - it will make them easier to find when you pull up the list.

Another room past that with backup dwellers (hopefully the deathclaws won’t get this far, but it’s better to be safe than sorry).

The deathclaws will make it past your guards, so make sure these guys are well equipped.

A three-width room on the other side of your door with six high-level dwellers.

Two full-time guards (ideally these will be max-level dwellers with good SPECIAL, but any high-level dweller with a good weapon and armor will do).

A fully upgraded Vault Door (it won’t slow them down much, but the extra time can be a lifesaver).

Here’s a checklist of things you’ll probably want to be really ready for deathclaws: It can be complicated and difficult to manage your dwellers during an attack, especially if you’re trying to control them on a smartphone screen, so you want to be really well set up for attacks when they come. Smart vault planning is the key to dealing with deathclaws.
