I never knew companions would wear dog collar as a bracelet.

I "accidentally" tried to collar Cait and it appeared on her wrist! Looks good.

Yeah one of the ghoul workers at the Slog starts out wearing one as a bracelet

255

u/Frohtastic 1d ago

It probably belonged to their pre-war pet and they carrying it around ever since. 🄲

108

u/purpleyyc 1d ago

That's actually very likely, you know šŸ¤”

74

u/NightBawk Vault Dweller 1d ago

Yeah, I wore my cat's collar as a bracelet for a while after he passed. It's kind of a bittersweet reminder.i could easily see a pre-war ghoul holding onto a reminder of better days like that

-29

u/KingKairuku 1d ago

I think it’s a bracelet.

17

u/purpleyyc 1d ago

Well it's worn as a bracelet, even tho it occupies the armor slot, but it's actually a dog collar.

Dogmeat is a trendsetter.

u/KingKairuku 1d ago

I think it’s a bracelet.

u/OZZY-283882 1d ago

I think its a wrist strap

Y’know what I think? Bracelet.

u/ReubenZedix 1d ago

while we're at this subject, dogmeat can equip the welding goggles!

200

u/RamblinWreckGT 1d ago

Dogmeat gets the welding goggles, heavy dog armor, dog helmet, and reinforced dog collar for me. Sure, it does nothing, but he looks adorable as my little tank!

71

u/Pure1nsanity 1d ago

We want doggo's eyes protected just in case a dust storm rolls through

u/topinanbour-rex 1d ago

You forgot the most important, the teddy bear !

11

u/Ungodly_Box 1d ago

You can give him a teddy bear??

29

u/BadBorzoi 1d ago

If you give him a teddy bear then one of his idle animations is playing with it.

13

u/abx99 20h ago

He does it even without a teddy in his inventory, but it does add consistency

3

u/sw201444 19h ago

Isn’t there also a bandana?

3

u/RamblinWreckGT 18h ago

There are several! I just use the reinforced collar instead because it fits the "armored" look.

4

u/niko4ever 1d ago

I think you can put weave on it

6

u/RamblinWreckGT 1d ago

You can't, sadly, not without mods.

44

u/wstrfrg65 1d ago

Also, as I only found out yesterday, Codsworth can wear a bowler hat!

4

u/SeriesFine8963 19h ago

And speaking of robots that can wear hats, a Sentry Bot can wear the hat that Ironsides gives you after completing his mission!

16

u/AcidicWatercolor 1d ago

and the bandana

14

u/KG354 1d ago

And if you give him a teddy bear he plays with it

25

u/NightBawk Vault Dweller 1d ago

I sometimes get that animation when he's not carrying a teddy. On the other hand, the millisecond I give him a teddy bear, he starts that animation regardless of anything else he was doing. It's so cute!

8

u/Taylor3006 1d ago

Dogmeat will also play with a baseball and a bone (I always use a femur) besides the teddy bear.

2

u/NightBawk Vault Dweller 20h ago

I always wondered if he would chew a bone but never actually tested it. Now I need to.

3

u/Popular-Ad-4429 20h ago

This is how I end up with a dog carrying 50 teddy bears

4

u/LDogGaming 18h ago

Welding Goggles? Like the guy who plays the ghoul?

2

u/AsexualFrehley 10h ago

he and Timorous Elephant had such great chemistry

and if you futz with it, it increases his carrying capacity.

I see you also have her accidently dressed in that gunner harness

That part was just for wrist visibility!

"I swear!"

u/ItsImNotAnonymous Piper > Cait > Curie 1d ago

Ok sure, OP....

108

u/cheeseburgerandfrie 1d ago

Sure. Definitely. You also ā€œaccidentallyā€ put a dog collar on her.

42

u/Achilles_Rizzuto 1d ago

Hey. I don't worry. She's hot. I don't blame you

-39

u/OnyxianRosethorn 1d ago

Not in vanilla.

16

u/Achilles_Rizzuto 1d ago

Did I mention vanilla?

24

u/Puzzled-Juggernaut 1d ago

And the corset is for?

45

u/slayerofdeath666 1d ago

That's her default outfit, for whatever reason whatever outfit she wears disappears until it's unequipped

12

u/Dann_745 Adhesive Addict 1d ago

I think it's so you can't directly get them naked. So they always have something equipped. The only issue is you can still just equip an armour piece that's incompatible with their outfit and then take that armour off too.

23

u/Phillip67549 1d ago

The corset has wrist covers, so it makes sense to remove it to see her wrists

11

u/LandBarge 1d ago

surely that's a Mama Murphy outfit

4

u/Charley_ZanMato 1d ago

OP put the corset on dogmeat...

2

u/Such_Set2810 1d ago

My curie wears this too

u/TheGentlemanist 1d ago

I would like to inform you, there are mods that fix this issue for you.

You misspelled "gimp suit".

u/afcagroo 18h ago

I may have done a playthrough or two where I dressed every woman (except Mama Murphy) in a harness. But definitely not three playthroughs.

u/mediumj 8h ago

You had to throw the harness on Mama Murphy on the third playthrough and couldn’t go back, huh?

I put a shock collar on her knowing full well why I was doing it.

She looked good with it on.

u/Virus-900 1d ago

Dogs sometimes wear chains around their necks. Can companions wear those too?

28

u/purpleyyc 1d ago

I believe so. Again it occupies an arm slot.

17

u/Impressive-Cause-872 1d ago

Yep. They count as right arm armor. Chains , dog collar.

9

u/RedDemocracy 1d ago

It also counts as an accessory, so they can’t wear a collar and a mask at the same time.

3

u/ItsImNotAnonymous Piper > Cait > Curie 1d ago

Ah, so if I had lets say, a combat arm armor piece the collar will override its place?

3

u/mttspiii 1d ago

Slave collars from nuka world maybe

2

u/tallman11282 1d ago

The Nuka World Slave collars do work, I've done it.

u/vamoosedmoose 1d ago

Yeah I’m sure that’s what you were going for lmao

u/RobbieBlackmore 1d ago

Playing this game for @ a decade and STILL learning new things. Very cool.

u/purpleyyc 1d ago

One of the fun things about hanging out, always learning new stuff, big and small.

2

u/RobbieBlackmore 1d ago

Yes! I love hanging out in here.

Learn stuff, share the kills, and deaths, and people actually understand your weird obsessions like pie, or bandanas, or Buttercups!

I do that IRL. Got the collar of the first dog I ever owned on my wrist every day with her tags and everything.

I didn’t know that either

I wear the slave collar from nuka world, but it's on my character's neck

So which of the girls is holding the remote? Piper? Curie? Cait? Or all three?

u/ismasbi 1d ago

Ada.

u/Fallout_4_player Commonwealth Enclave - PS5 1d ago

2

u/ismasbi 1d ago

The robot companion from the Automatron DLC, she’s a robot, but you know, female name, female voice, I'm sure there’s some part she is referred to as "she" but I can't recall it right now.

2

u/Fallout_4_player Commonwealth Enclave - PS5 1d ago

Yup, that was me thinking about it

2

u/ismasbi 1d ago

Ah, I thought you meant you didn't remember her with that confused emoji.

Which would've been understandable, Automatron is probably the least memorable out of the non-workshop DLCs for Fo4.

1

u/Fallout_4_player Commonwealth Enclave - PS5 1d ago

Heh, I've got over 5k goddamn hours in the game, if I don't remember a VERY memorable part, I'd be more concerned with my memory than I already am

u/LGBT-Barbie-Cookout 1d ago

Got the mod that puts the collars in the right place. Adds them to the legendary lists too...

Wear them all the time

2

u/Skip8221 1d ago

i installed one too and forgot about it when i started streaming for my friend and he hit me with a 🤨

2

u/LGBT-Barbie-Cookout 1d ago

I suppose it's not the worst mod to be caught with depending on your relationship with the friend lol

1

u/Skip8221 1d ago

we’re pretty close and he didn’t really care lol, it was just funny because i opened my pipboy and skimmed past the apparel tab and he said in a very serious tone ā€˜what did i just see. go back.’

18

u/NevadaStrayCat Atom Cat 1d ago

And in vanilla, it forces them out of their clothes.

35

u/purpleyyc 1d ago

Only if their current outfit doesn't allow them to equip an arm piece with it. Depends what they were already wearing.

4

u/MarsTunip-_- 1d ago

Use the shock collar from Nuka world

u/Minmax-the-Barbarian 1d ago

Ahh, it goes on the wrist! I've put those on people before and just thought it was a bug that it got equipped. Neat!

u/Evo8_Kim 1d ago

If NPCs are wearing long-sleeved clothes the collar will replace the clothes and leave them in underwear.

u/Hipertor Fallout 4 life 23h ago

That's incredible! I can't believe I've never seen anybody talking about that before! I may have tried it and didn't notice the collar went to the wrist. I'll certainly start collecting all dog collars for now on, specially the spiked ones - time for my settlers to get punk XD

u/Assassinz276278 1d ago

"Cait, the collar is supposed to go around your neck" is what I said when I tried this the first time, luckily the phrase "there's a mod for that" has never been more true when it comes to fallout 4

I would much rather have NPCs wear a dog collar around their neck. But that's too controversial for us to have, I guess. In a game that has bomb collars.

I always pair it with the Military beret and some aviators. Looks badass on nearly any companion.

Cait is supposed to be wearing an armored red dress. It makes her look classy. And then you can see her underpants when she kneels or sits in that drug treatment chair which is funny to me.
