Skippy doesn't ask me after 50 kills/defeats

[PloufsPuppet]

Hello,
right now i am annoyed by skippy. I picked him up, made him to non leathel and wanted him to drop in my stach, since he is a quest item he is always in my invetory. so i went to the park, defeated around 50-100 valentinos and he still doesnt ask me to change the mode so it starts the quest, that i can give this crackhead finally to regina. any ideas?

Tip, keep it in your pocket, not in the inventory, so wear it all the time. After a while V will grab the gun and you get a question from Skippy. There is no need for 50 kills with Skippy, at least that is how it went for me. But if you choose pacifist, you need to cripple enemies, not kill

in my pocket means within my 3 weapons? so for example on slot 1 skippy but i can use weapon in slot 2?

Yes, that is what I did, and used the other weapons

If you accidentally hit enemies with an extra bullet after they down, which is real easy with a smart gun, they'll die and not count for the 50 puppy mode downs.

The vast majority of threads I've seen about skippy post 2.0 is that his mode swap is broken anyway, so if you started in pacifist, even if he says he's swapping after the 50-down conversation, he remains in pacifist forever-more. Real kick in the nuts since the leg lock-on is stupidly swapping back and forth between legs as the target is running around.
