If you think braving the Cyberdogs of X-8 makes you... brave, intruder, it is no use. All Cyberdogs are under my command, and they will bite you.Dr. Mobius

Cyberdogs, also spelled as cyber dogs, are creatures found in the Mojave Wasteland in Fallout: New Vegas and in Big MT in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Old World Blues.

Variants[]

Military cyberdog[]

MilitaryCyberdog

The military cyberdog has a sonic bark which is used as a ranged weapon, and a bite attack that can inflict a "knockdown" effect. They also appear to have the ability to self-heal/repair themselves, similar to the Mk II Securitrons.

Police cyberdog[]

PoliceCyberdog

A slightly weaker variety of the military cyberdog, police cyberdogs may contain several types of small energy cells on death. They can be distinguished from military cyberdogs by their unique black and white paint, as well as the red and blue reflective patches on their backs. They appear in a classroom in the X-8 testing facility during the Old World Blues quest X-8 Data Retrieval Test.

Cyberdog[]

FNVRex

The cyberdog is a non-militarized version of the police/military cyberdog, it relies on its speed and bite strength alone for offensive power.

Only one instance of the civilian cyberdog exists. It is visually identical to Rex and is explicitly identified as a test version in its Editor ID (NVDLC03CyberDog01TEST). It does not appear anywhere in Old World Blues.

Notable cyberdogs[]

Notes[]

  • Cyberdogs are almost universally referred to in conversation using the single-word ("cyberdog") spelling, but the actual creatures themselves use the two-word spelling ("cyber dog") for their name.
  • Rex is a cyberdog that is obtainable as a companion by speaking with the King in Freeside.
  • The police and military cyberdogs are variants appearing in Old World Blues.
  • All cyberdogs are not affected by pulse weapons.
  • In Old World Blues, a police cyberdog named Roxie can be created at the X-8 research center (by splicing a robot and a dog together), becoming a temporary companion for the Courier while inside the facility. She will not follow the Courier outside, waiting instead near the entrance door. If she dies, Roxie can be "revived" by creating another cyberdog.
  • The cyberdogs in Old World Blues are unaffected by the Animal Friend perk.
  • Cyberdogs count toward the Overkill challenge.
  • When passing the room in the X-8 research center where the dogs are normally being educated, they will instead be playing poker, in reference to the famous painting Dogs Playing Poker by Cassius Marcellous Coolidge.

Bugs[]

PCPC The mesh file for the braincase used by military cyberdogs suffers from a flaw which renders it untextured and invisible, rather than a glowing yellow to compliment the glowing green and glowing red seen on normal and police cyberdogs, respectively. This leaves the military cyberdog's brain apparently floating in mid-air with no obvious means of containment. [verified]
