While Rex is a companion, unequipped chems, firearms, and ammunition within a short distance are highlighted when you zoom the camera.— In-game description

Search and Mark is a companion perk in Fallout: New Vegas.

Requirements[]

Gaining Rex as a companion requires triggering Nothin' But a Hound Dog which itself requires traveling to the King's School of Impersonation in South Freeside and completing G.I. Blues for The King, after which he will confide about Rex's struggles with his degrading brain and allow him to follow the player character.

Completing the quest in any manner will still allow Rex to remain as a companion afterward.

Effects[]

When Rex is an active companion, the player character gains the passive ability to highlight in green all lootable food, chems, firearms, and ammunition within a short distance when aiming down sights/zooming in.

Notes[]

  • Containers (i.e. refrigerator, metal box, etc. - including corpses and hollowed-out rocks) that have one or more of these items inside will also be highlighted. Once the items are removed, the container will no longer be highlighted.
  • If the Courier dies while aiming down sights, their body will be highlighted as well.

Bugs[]

  • PCPC Playstation 3Playstation 3Playstation 3 Some killed creatures, such as lakelurks, will be highlighted despite their bodies not containing anything they can be looted of. In the case of lakelurks, this may be due to the shriek "weapon" they carry, which is classified as a weapon with ammunition but cannot actually be obtained.[verified]
  • PCPC The missing laser pistol found during the unmarked quest Pistol Packing will not be highlighted by this perk.[verified]
