Nice perks but there better not be any super mutant behemoths.

Will Spray and Pray work for temporary companions and friendly NPCs around during combat?

I remember seeing one of the gameplay preview videos of the attack on the Ceasar's Legion base, and the guy accidentally turned the NCR against him.

I would really hate having to reload saves all the time because I shot the NCR by accident while trying to save them from the Legion.

I like Spray and Pray. I shot Dogmeat in the ass 95% of the time he was in combat.

my dogmeat is some how invincible. he doesnt take any damage no matter what, im playing on a 360. so its not modded.

i dont see the point in spray and pray i thought if you accidentally shoot your teammate to the point that it does a nice chunk of damage they go ape [censored] and attack you what use will the perk have?

or was i wrong and your teammates in FO 3 never turned?

It will be a great perk for Explosive character who will use grenade launchers, grenades and GMG.

I just checked out the gamespot thread where the guy has a game guide. Apparently there will be NO super mutant behemoths. We can all breathe easy now.

Wow, it is gonna be realy hard to pick just 15 perks. Think Im gonna do 2 playthroughs at once and just alternate.

PS. Totaly off topic but im realy excited... For more post apocalyptic goodness check out "fist of the north star" on the 2nd!

In vanilla, if you shoot your teammate to max damage they will go unconcious for a bit (after shouting at you). In hardcoe mode, if you shoot them enough they will die. Finito. The end. Thing is, followers tend to be a bit too eager to join a fight, so they tend to rush in front of your minigun without thinking about it. This perk will mean you're far less lightly to actually hit them (afaik), which is a good thing for hardcoe players with followers.

"Spray ‘n Pray" - for when you've got an Enclave trooper lined up in your sights, and your follower insists on running in front of the scope and attacking first. (I hope they fixed that, seriously) lol

Ha ha! Can't count the times I had an enemy sighted using the Scoped .44 or Sniper Rifle only to have my view blocked by the companion's ass. That should be a thing of a past with the new companion wheel and improved companion AI. Even if those things don't stop it in New Vegas, I'll be able to fire my trademark 'shots in anger' without 'em taking too much damage with the Spray 'n' Pray Perk.

Edit: Does anyone know if you can use the companion wheel during combat?
