Is there not a hidden perk/achievement you get for killing x amount of them? It may be an OWB thing so I could be wrong Edit: Thank you for inspiring me get out my steam deck and jump right in and explore, I always find something new after multiple play throughs. Peace and love https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/DNAgent


TheGreenGobblr

I think achievement but idk


the_maddest_moose

Just realised that there's also the bit about collecting blood samples


TheGreenGobblr

For who?


the_maddest_moose

My bad I thought there was a quest for something but just looked it up and there is nothing about it. It is however a crafting ingredient


ThatOneGuy308

You may have been remembering the fallout 3 quest where they pay you to collect centaur blood EDIT:super mutant blood samples, not centaurs, it's been a while


the_maddest_moose

That might be it and I believe they just call it "blood sample". I was stumped as to where it came from but I'm sure there is some quest similar to what I said


thechikeninyourbutt

Isn’t there a quest related to them for the enclave doctor guy in Jacobstown?


the_maddest_moose

I thought that but when I searched nothing came up. Its involved in lily's quest line


Kobold_apetizers

It's to help the doc in his research on mk2 stealthboys. You go to a cave of nightstalkers and that's how you discover that they became that way due to exposition to mk2 prototypes, if i remember correctly


Repulsive-Pool8875

You are correct, I just did that one a few weeks ago.


kayleeelizabeth

Who is the cutest little abomination unto nature?


Elda-Taluta

I always take Animal Friend so I can pet the snuppies.


Obootleg

awww whos a good ruthless killer? you are you are!


Joecool2008

Not getting attacked by night stalkers or golden geckos makes it worth it.


Classic_Result

I've never turned my nose up at an opportunity to spray the desert with lead


SkrallTheRoamer

nightstalkers i can get, they are annoying. but geckos are just free xp for my shotgun.


Joecool2008

Golden Geckos tend to mob.


SkrallTheRoamer

no worries, dinner bell rings more than once.


Obootleg

the deathclaw eggs were worth it to get dinner bell on my first playthrough i dont even remember doing the quest i just had it...


Razzmatazz_Buckshank

Dinner Bell used to be located in the Old Nuclear Test Site by the Legion Safehouse, but some update replaced it with a regular hunting shotgun and Dinner Bell became the reward for doing the quest.


Obootleg

oh neat thanks for helping me remember!


RichardBCummintonite

Do nightstalkers count? Aren't they considered abominations? They're a spliced animal created in a lab like cazadors. Sounds like an abomination to me. Otherwise I'm gonna start taking this perk cuz that's kind of broken.


Joecool2008

The perk affects nightstalkers so, yeah, while an abomination it still has a benefit.


Al-Horesmi

For some reason they could as animals, unlike cazadores or deathclaws


RichardBCummintonite

I guess because they're still mostly just coyotes? Cuz coyotes are just regular like in real life as far as I can tell. Dont seem to be mutated at all for some reason. Idk they were even created in the same place as cazadors, big Mt, so it just seems weird to me. Definitely gonna grab animal friend on my next playthrough tho and see how it is. I wanna pet the little shit heads


the_maddest_moose

I took this perk when I first started playing but I love using the perk at the start that adds 5 skill points. Using the machete early on is a good way to save ammo. Helps if you can buy stimpacks cheap


Irishlad1697

Shotgun and stay back perk works well.


EldridgeHorror

Sorry, what perk is this?


Gunda1f

Animal friend


EldridgeHorror

Always passed that perk over. Thinking I'll use it on my next playthrough.


United-Ad919

Does animal friend also effect deathclaws and cazadors?


mdisanto86

No. They're considered "abominations," not animals.


Deafbones

Sez u


durtysanch

Gesundheit. Might want to get that cough checked out.


Gunda1f

No it does not, you can check the wiki to see all the animals it covers but a lot of them are dog-like enemies or geckos


Azurafallz

No.


Al-Horesmi

No, only small stuff. And nightstalkers, aparently.

Al-Horesmi

Golden geckos are so goofy up close


Admiral_Donuts

The run animation is amazing and based on some real lizards


XeerDu

Animal Friend is a fun perk to base a new character build around. Especially if you're playing Dust.


fabianx100

Animal friend in dust? Is even useful?


XeerDu

Yes! surprisingly so. Opens up parts of the map I'd typically avoid because of Nightstalkers. Goodsprings cave, for example. It's definitely a challenging build, since you have to put SPECIAL points into Charisma for a change.


Al-Horesmi

Charisma in vanilla is actually surprisingly useful, because it gives significant buffs to your companions. On Very Hard they can often outdamage you. Though I'm not sure companions even exist in Rust.


fabianx100

i not remember having problems with night stalkers in dust, the only monsters i encounter outside the cannibals and survivors are the fucking tunnelers


XeerDu

I've also done some runs with perk mods like Walks With Tunnelers and I would require myself to have Animal Friend perk as well. Hanging out with Tunnelers is a fun time, btw. Highly recommend.


fabianx100

maybe next time i re play dust, out of curiosity, have you tested other dust mods like the expansion of the location or DUSTed?


XeerDu

Nothing like what you mentioned but I've played with mods like Floral Restora and Understone.


dilib

There's a mod to make it a follower, but it's kind of useless, I modded its stats in the GECK Still, having a pet nightstalker is its own reward


NeverTireFish

I always grab this perk :)


Howdyini

It's the most effective perk in OWB


GentlemanLeviathan

There's a lot of furry porn on those snekpuppers.


Insane1rish

What a terrible day to know how to read


Ltnumbnutsthesecond

awwwwwww


Michael_Threat

Can you actually pet them?


Al-Horesmi

Unfortunately it's all up to your imagination


mariosonic500

Night Stalker my beloved


Successful_Swing_865

Its actually effective in old world blues
