In addition to the above, there are also some breeds with a Rare version but no Common version, and 2 Legendary versions.

Palla's Cat (cat - Wasteland Junk) as alternative to LaPerm Lykoi (cat - Damage) as alternative to Pit Bull Terrier Bernard (dog - Wasteland Junk) as alternative to Bloodhound There are correctly designed pet breeds as alternatives to most of the above. Q: Why is the bonus on (insert Legendary pet) worse than a Common pet?Ī: There are messed up pet breeds which have no Common or Rare versions, but instead have 3 Legendary versions where 2 of the Legendaries have bonuses consistent with a Common or Rare pet. Obviously giving them a useful pet would be better, but if you don't have any then give them bad pets so that you at least don't have to worry about someone you sent out with good gear dying and losing it. If you equip any pet on an explorer or quester and they die, they're still dead (perma-death can't be avoided in survival), but the pet will bring back everything they were carrying, including what they had equipped. However, if you're in a survival mode vault, keep all the pets you get. I'd personally sell them if you know you won't need them. Q: This is a crappy pet, should I sell it?Ī: Some pets you will probably never get any use out of because they're just plain bad. Wasteland Return Speed applies to all the dwellers in a questing group. The effects Crafting Cost, Crafting Time, Objective Completion, and Stranger Chance apply to the whole room they're in. These are all of the effects that apply to more than one dweller: Equipping two pets with the same effect in the same 'area of effect' will not stack them, only the highest bonus will be used while any others will be ignored. Most pets affect only a single dweller, but several affect multiple. They can also be found as the rare card of lunchboxes, though the chance is low. Handy, and Quantums, you can get them free from objectives and quests or by buying them from the in-game store. See 9.6 for more information on how finding junk works. They're amazing in survival but only average in normal. An important thing to note though is that for Wasteland Junk pets specifically, their usefulness depends on whether you're in normal or survival. Check here (ShardisWolfe) for a very good breakdown of all the pet effects and what's useful.

8.2Ī: Like with outfits, that depends what the dweller is doing. A: The Fallout wiki has a good list of all the breeds and their legendary versions, plus the possible stat variance for each pet.
