NotesEdit

• Kills made with Two-Step Goodbye count towards this challenge.
• The weapons seem to have a kill count limit, as in some playthroughs, switching to another required weapon will allow the count to rise.
• NCR reputation will remain the same as long as kills are performed in sneak mode.
• Sgt. Kilborn, Sergeant McGee, and Tech. Sergeant Reyes are not included in this challenge, as they are only non-commissioned officers. This goes for all sergeants.
• This challenge is not repeatable.

BugsEdit

• pc ps3 xbox360 When using throwing spears for a kill, be sure to have at least two. The game checks what weapon you are holding *after* the kill is made, if you throw your last spear it sees your attack as having been unarmed and does not count it towards the challenge.
