navybr0wnie: So, I did some expirementing. It does not seem to matter how many enemies you take down with a pet equipped, but rather how long between each enemy you take out.

It seems that the XP will proc about ~ a minute between each enemy taken out(don't know the exact amount of seconds). So far I loaded up a daily ops and just took my time took out 1 enemy, waited about a minute or two, then took out another, and just kinda did that for about 30 minutes. Not efficient, but at least it got some data. I'm sure someone can clean that up better than me.

FlaaasHx: This is a nice addition but we need more story content/map expansion or even map changes given how many nukes have gone off etc

navybr0wnie: Maybe with all this stuff being implemented our companions will be able to fight alongside us in not too long.

OffendingTheOffendable: More lag more crashes

starfoxBR77: I can already see tutorials like "put your power armor on top of your pet and..."

faklemptomaniac: Your camp is right on my spot

browninplay: Very happy to se a skill tree, even if it is linear - much better than just, "number go up". I'm now actually kinda looking forward to this update now its been more fleshed out :)

SpaceDwarf55: I just can't stop thinking...why? I didn't know anybody wanted this, and i don't know why anyone would want this

draculinalilith396: I love it, it's an epic way to implement followers. It will rly only be laggy for those with older systems (upgrade ur stuff dawg) and its epic for roleplay and for more solitary player. It's like fallout pokemon or something lol and maybe we'll see passives updated to synergize with pets like the animals friends passive or something can give our combat pets a slight damage buff or something like that idk, i would love to see how our personal stats play into each pet and what pet stats will really look like when this is all finished. The fact we level up each category individually is very cool too, it really does ad an element of training your own pet and combat companion to the game. In the future they could add other types of "combat pets" like robots which is a cool thought.

DaMcGamer: The patch notes are promising. I'm surprised the pets are account-wide leveling and species wide. I wasn't looking forward to leveling a variety of dogs, cats, hogs and I'll "assume" we'll be getting a freebie Deathclaw before this comes out.

Thanks!

shermanu79: I hope one day we will get robots as pets.

MichaelsExplorations: You can get a cat and radhog on the current season for tickets!! Pretty nice to unlock the pet rewards gives us something to look forward to thanks for sharing I’ll most likely use my kitty named poopy

justinV-u4o3x: They should really add a thorn like in New Vegas, but instead of us Fighting animals, we fight our animals like in Pokémon.

psycleshift: You know whats not amazing, pets.

FlowerPower1-7-5: I really like the approach they are taking with the world pets, looks like a solid choice!

Control_Booth: First

Semi20-fo: Finally I can take my rottweiler on an adventure through the wasteland, shame it won't be here for the spooky season though ^^

jodysales2362: I'm a solo player for the most part. Yeah I do events on a team but I pretty much keep to myself unless I'm asked for help. This pet thing looks like it could be fun unless they make the grind either too easy or two aggravating.

Grim20034: I wonder if it’s like in fallout 4 pets/companions can self heal if you don’t bother.

ianhorn5466: Pet levelling looks ok. Cat passives look a bit weak, both being fishing related. I'd have liked one of the passives to be a bit more useful, perhaps a stealth bonus.

Sadboi_Rook: Number go up brain go brrrrrrrrr.

Will the extra legendary from the dog passive be grunt hunt rolled? Like, have lucid, pain killer, glowing, etc?

desw9890: I'm wondering if pet leveling is per character or account wide. If I level up a cat on one character, will cats be leveled up for all characters on my account?

Foxy_Bro420: BETHESDA, GIVE ME A MOTHMAN PET AND MY SOUL IS YOURS

RobertTullis-m8v: Shelters have always been disabled on PTS.

BossJillianP420: I got the pts for the PlayStation 5 and as of right now I don't have any options for the pet to follow me. If that changes later on I'll let you guys know

RuffisOak: if they add a free way to get a deathclaw so all pets are earnable i will really like this system otherewise to me its too greedy

BlancoFarms: I just want 50 small cats come with me to maul ghouls.
