I have this quest, I sent out someone into the waste without a weapon, first thing they encountered was a mole rat and they killed it. Yet it did not increment, still at 0/2. Is there something I'm missing?

Edit: Here are some screenshots:

Maybe you have to kill two mole rats inside the vault.

Maybe the kills have to be inside the vault?

I got one of those quests that had me kill two raiders without weapons - I dismissed it. I didn't want to have to chase them all over the vault while they wreaked havoc everywhere. All to get 25 caps.

Done got ninja'd.

If it's inside the vault, that's the stupidest mission ever. Mole rats can take 8-10 shots from a hardened gauss rifle. I can't imagine how much punching they can take. I'm dismissing it in the morning when I get another dismissal. Hopefully they rethink that mission.

Gah! Now I have a mission to equip 2 combat shotguns, a rare weapon that I've never found :/ Here's hoping I find 2 tonight when I go to sleep.

I have had problems like this on quests before, sellling items, killing or collecting things, etc. sometimes the counters work and others no, sometimes they start counting and stop part way to the goal...I have generally "fixed" it by eliminating the quest that stopped counting. this happens to me every week at least once or twice. hope that helps, T

Mole rats in level 1 rooms are not that powerful ... it might be possible to take them down with multiple unarmed people ... I agree that a level 2 or 3 room is likely impossible to do unarmed

They don't hit hard, Kbrickley, but they still take a beating.
