Notes[]

  • Like most kill challenges, progress is tracked cumulatively, i.e. once Rank 1 is achieved, one only has to kill another 50 animals to reach Rank 2, and so on with Rank 3.
  • Many bighorner herds, with both adults and calfs, tend to spawn in the flatlands south-southeast of Novac and north of Broc flower cave.
  • Kills made by a companion do not count towards kills needed to earn this perk.

Bugs[]

  • PCPC Perk progress freezes at 20/50 animals.[verified]
    • Appears to be fixed as of patch 1.2.0.31x.
  • Xbox 360Xbox 360 When the 3rd rank of this perk is achieved, the pop-up message may give a ridiculous number (such as 3940517670000000000...) as the perk rank instead of 3.[verified]
