“The power of your personality inspires die-hard loyalty from your followers. When you drop below 50% health, your companions temporarily gain much greater resistance to damage.”— In-game description
Ferocious Loyalty is a perk in Fallout: New Vegas.
Effects
Ferocious Loyalty increases the Damage Resistance of all base-game companions by 50% if the player's health drops to less than 50% and will remain active until health is restored to 50% or greater.
Notes
- Ferocious Loyalty works in tandem with Companion Nerve, which increases Damage Threshold, as well as Damage.
- Hit Points granted by the Lifegiver perk do not count toward the Courier's total health where this perk is concerned. This means the perk will not activate at 50% health as described if Lifegiver is also taken, making it harder to safely sustain the effect.
- Perk activation with the Lifegiver perk taken into account:
- 130 total HP = Perk activates when < 38.5% (50 HP) of total HP remains
- 230 total HP = Perk activates when < 43.5% (100 HP) of total HP remains
- 330 total HP = Perk activates when < 45.5% (150 HP) of total HP remains
- 430 total HP = Perk activates when < 46.5% (200 HP) of total HP remains
- 530 total HP = Perk activates when < 47.2% (250 HP) of total HP remains
- 575 total HP* = Perk activates when < 47.4% (272 HP) of total HP remains
