Animal Friend (Fallout 4)

Animal Friend is a perk in Fallout 4.

Effects
The perk grants a chance to pacify and, at higher ranks, control hostile animals.

Ranks
Affecting an animal requires looking down a weapon's sights and pressing the confirm/use button. Successful pacification is indicated with an animation, whereas failure results in a notification. Once failed, another pacification attempt on the same creature can be undertaken after waiting for one minute. Pacifying an animal requires the Sole Survivor to be within a certain range of the animal, while Inciting/Commanding requires an even closer range. This perk affects the following animals:

In addition, the Sole Survivor comments on certain creatures while pacifying, inciting, and commanding them.

Behind the scenes
This perk was developed by lead level designer Justin Schram.
