Bonds of Steel is a companion perk in Fallout: New Vegas.
Requirements[]
Gaining this perk requires completing I Could Make You Care through the option of convincing Veronica that she should stay with the Brotherhood of Steel. The perk isn't gained until the next time leaving the Hidden Valley bunker and ending the confrontation with the paladins either by killing them or passing a 95 Speech skill check.
Effects[]
When Veronica Santangelo is an active companion, she gains an additional 4 DT.
Notes[]
- The perk shares the same Vault Boy image as Toughness.
- The perk pairs well with 10 Charisma due to companion nerve (+4 becomes +6).
Bugs[]
After restarting the game or loading a save the additional DT is lost.[verified]
