Raul's rate of fire with revolvers and lever action firearms is 33% faster than normal.— In-game description

Old Vaquero is a companion perk in Fallout: New Vegas.

Requirements[]

Gaining this perk requires completing the unmarked quest Old School Ghoul by convincing Raul Tejada that he should return to his old life as a gunslinger.

If chosen dialogue options were to convince Raul that he should retire from gunslinging, passing a 66 Speech check will change his mind and gain the perk.

Effects[]

When Raul Tejada is an active companion, he gains a 33% bonus to his rate of fire when using revolvers and lever-action firearms.

Affected weapons[]

Weapons affected by this perk:
Base weapon Variant(s)
.357 Magnum revolver Lucky
.44 Magnum revolver Mysterious Magnum
Gun Runners' Arsenal 5.56mm pistol -
Brush gun Gun Runners' Arsenal Medicine Stick
Cowboy repeater La Longue Carabine
Lever-action shotgun -
Hunting revolver Gun Runners' Arsenal Hunting revolver (GRA)
Ranger Sequoia
Trail carbine -

Notes[]

  • Despite wielding a .44 Magnum revolver as his default weapon, due to a bug, the perk's RoF bonus does not affect it, meaning one will have to give Raul better weapons for him to benefit from Old Vaquero.
  • Unlike Full Maintenance, gaining this perk for Raul will not overwrite Regular Maintenance, meaning Raul still gains increased RoF with his weapons while providing the 50% reduction in equipment degradation of his original perk.
  • Along with the perk, Raul will also gain the Vaquero outfit.
  • Old Vaquero shares the same Vault Boy image as Math Wrath.
  • "Vaquero" translates in Spanish to "cowboy."
  • Raul is the only male companion with a perk that upgrades his stats.
