Can other player kill my pet companion?

[「SHAORUNE」]

So i has a pet deathclaw, the third one in a few week actually, because they keep dying for no reason. I know there are some bug that can make my pet disappeared when i load in to a new server, but this is not that. This happened to me when i teleported to questing somewhere else and then comeback to my camp, just to see my deathclaw dead on the ground for no reason. The only way i can explain this is that other player kill my deathclaw, eventho i has pacifist turn on

Don't know about the pacifist but where you have your camp module is important.

The pet will spawn from the module, sometimes before rest of camp is loaded.

If it is high up it can drop to its death, on a foundation it can end up inside the foundation and on full load will kill it. Can also happen to pet Brahmin.

Keeping module low to the ground or on a low set foundation will help but not eliminate the random deaths.

only tip i can give you is: people wanting to keep a deathclaw as pet only have their Deathclaw in the forest zone as it can last way longer there have in mind deathclaws are not really >Death< claws anymore heck they are not even in the top 5 strongest AI in the game anymore in this game.

I have shot at a few but oopsie. You won't get flagged for pvp.

Yes they can and some of them did it to mine too :( Pacifist keeps you from damaging players and entering PVP. It does not prevent others from doing so. Also, there are workarounds to damage and destroy player camps/pets outside of combat.

Yep. It's the classic way to lose your pet. You're either a vendor or a pet owner in 76. Sucks, right? Don't be too mad they promised functional pets from the start but couldn't deliver because... well, they can't on this engine with multiplayer. That's that.

The more common cause of death is server lag. In the same theme as dead scorchbeasts being pulled to the next cell and falling from the sky, your pet will sometimes spawn in this way. Then fall to it's death. Because just like players, the biggest baddest enemy mob is in fact lag, and will bring your death far more times than any other game factor. Nothing unique to the platform, just how it ends up manifesting.

*If you really want a pet to love in 76 I recommend a camp companion in custom apparel. Give them a chally the moo moo outfit or something. Just don't break your heart over it... over and over. I went private vendor for that reason.

Oh well suck for me i gues, just has to server hop for another deathclaw for another 30min and hoping for a server with decent human being, or not getting fck by the game spaghetti code

I lost my pet megasloth 2 times because of npc attack. Sometimes your camp is under attack of supermutants, mongrels, etc...Last time my yao guai just disappeared. I just gave up with pets :(

Mad? Noooo. Do i have the wasteland madness? yes.

Directly? Not to my knowledge.

Sure is possible to drag enemies to a player's CAMP and have them kill a pet though.
