    Can’t pet boomer

    Says it all. Just took out all the guards and shot open the cage that boomer is in. Now it says to go pet boomer. I go to him but he’s still standing there barking like an idiot and there is no command to pet the freakin dog. What gives?

    Nvm I fixed it. It’s deff a bug tho. Way to get around it is to beat the crap out of the dog until it passes out, then revive it, and then you can pet it.

    A weeee bit extreme. Just walk a few feet away and call him to you. Then pet him.

    Same

    I hade the same issue. Boomer was circling another dog in the area. I could pet the other dog but not Boomer. I reloaded from my last save and was able to pet him but now his body freezes and he gets stuck mid run until I dismiss him.

    Solution

    A simple solution which i figured out. Kill the other dog. Boomer will be able to pet. Simple as that.

    It's a violent game so yea. *kick the dog while screaming at it to stay still and let you pet it.
    I tried that with the enemies too, I yelled for them to stay still and let me kill them but you know, peggies have bad manners and don't listen to me... like Boomer did to you. :-/
    I'll try *kicking the peggies , then killing them, revive them and clone them and then kill all the clones and then I'll never talk to them again ! :-)

    Yeah I was going to say a version of (in conflict), it just doesn't show that onscreen for animals like it does NPCs though. You see, Boomer wants to lick your face, he really does, he just wants you to kill all the enemies first. I'm guessing the reason he's not scripted to kill them on his own is it's kind of a rescue mission when you first encounter him.
