I have completed all the required missions with MacReady and he is my companion now. When does the Perk show up and how do I know I have received it? Do I only have the Perk when MacReady is with me?

Thanks!

If you get the message on the screen that you've achieved the perk you will then find it under Stats - Perk in the Pip-boy. This will happen when you reached max affinity with him, and had the last approval conversation. You do not need to have him with you to keep the perk active.

Thank you!

You'll get a message saying "Having reached maximum affinity with MacCready you've unlocked the Killshot Perk...." Just pick a few unfriendly locks and steal a few things. MacCready isn't too hard to reach maximum affinity with.

And now you get 95% headshot accuracy everywhere all the time at any range!

Yeah, which is fun for a bit, but quickly becomes a game killer. Hopefully Beth will fix this soon, but if you get tired of the godlike headshots from it, this mod will fix it to work right...

You'll start to see it right away if you have low per and use vats.

Im on PS4

Damn the Master Race!

Finally! We were entering the pipes to Poseidon Energy, and MacReady wanted to talk. I had just killed a Queen Miralurk, which topped off the affinity meter. He gave me a Toy Soldier, a long talk, and then I got the Perk. It was indeed a Long Road.

just wondering,but does he like anything? All I get out of him is he dislikes this or hated that. I never see him like anything.

He like persuasions(any charsima checked dialouge option, pushing people for more pay is an easy way to get more of those fast) and he also like stealing and lockpicking owned containers/doors

He's a contrary cuss. I found that if you choose the NPC speech options that fit within the category of 'being a wiseacre', or questioning authority, being suspicious of what people are telling you, disagreeing with them, that sort of thing... then he likes you lots. He likes it when you choose violent options too, and killing most everything. What he doesn't like is being friendly, reasonable, nice, cooperative. Nice makes him puke.

He likes it when you threaten people too. I had to "rescue" a guy's sister from some religious wacks. The preacher wasn't giving me the girl, despite me playing nice. So, a little annoyed I threatened him, saying something like "If you don't tell me where she is, this is going to end badly for you." failed the the threat, so was force to kill him and his followers. McReady freaking loved it. He a merc, act like a merc. However he likes it alot if you're nice to kids.

Patience. Hopefully soon we Xbox Oners and PS4ers will have them next year.

I'm still trying to get this perk but I gave up. I got to take care of his Gunner "friends" and got a quest update to "continue traveling with Macready" however he hasn't liked or disliked a single thing I did since then. I've picked locks, stolen stuff, intimidated people into paying more caps for jobs. All the stuff he likes. And not a reaction at all. Not one like. I even took him to the GNN to look for scrap and wiped out all the Gunners there. Not even a comment from him. Really?

So I dumped him for Cait and am trying to catch up on wasted time. Everything I did with Macready, she would have adored.

Just remember to never use it and not to shoot anything in the head. Apparently, according to some, it's inappropriate.

We are the master race, pc bows to us fool.

'Computer time is done! This is the age of Console!' < I know that was horrible but meh.

75% of all my followers are glitched and won't give up there perks. I have gotting to the second talk or story or long quest but no Perk.

It could be my fault. I did not use followers for most of my game and did not start trying to get their perks until after the MQ was over.

Anyway I'm still trying at lvl 88 haha.

You're not bugged. Companions have four talks, not two.

It isn't that it is inappropriate it is that the perk is bugged. The intent of the perk was to give you +20% accuracy in VATS for head shot. What it does is give you 95% head shot ALL the time. So you can hit someone in the head with a pistol beyond the range of the gun. When all other body parts are listed at 0% chance to hit the head shows up at 95%.

This can ruin the game for SOME people because it removes the challenge from combat if you use Vats. So yes people are WARNING other players because it svcks to find out you made all this effort to get the perk and now because it is bugged you regret the time wasted.

Dance has been my follower for over 6 in game months trust me he's glitched.

This is all i have gotten out of him like forever.

With MacCready isn't hard to get him to like you, just steal stuff he loves it.
