Applicable weapons[]
Effects[]
This challenge grants the following upon completion:
- 50 XP
- Unlocks the related challenges For a Few Hollars More, Destroy Something Not So Beautiful, Go For the Eyes and Lethal Weapons.
Notes[]
- This challenge is not repeatable; completing it causes it to be replaced by For a Few Hollars More in the Pip-Boy.
- This challenge will appear in the Pip-Boy's menu once the first kill with an unarmed weapon is achieved.
- Progress toward the challenge is only counted if the killing blow is done using an unarmed weapon, so it is possible to use a powerful gun or melee weapon to bring an enemy to low health, then equip the unarmed weapon of choice to finish them off.
Behind the scenes[]
The challenge name is a reference to the 1964 Sergio Leone film A Fistful of Dollars which was critically acclaimed and served to launch the spaghetti Western sub-genre of action movies along with casting actor Clint Eastwood in his first leading role, achieving similar acclaim. It is considered the first entry of the Dollars Trilogy along with Leone's other works For a Few Dollars More and The Good, The Bad and the Ugly, all featuring Eastwood in the lead role as the "Man with No Name."
