Ferocious Loyalty

Ferocious Loyalty is a perk in Fallout: New Vegas.

Effects
This perk does not increase your companions' Damage Threshold but rather grants them Damage Resistance, similar to how Med-X or slasher function for the Courier. The amount added is 50%, so companions will ignore half of the base damage of any attack they receive. This combines well with high nerve to increase their survivability in hardcore mode.

Ferocious Loyalty will remain active as long as your health is below 50%, so the effect can be thought of as sustainable.
