Ferocious Loyalty

Ferocious Loyalty is a perk .
==Effects==
Taking this perk grants a 50% bonus of Damage Resistance to any active companions whenever one's health drops below 50% of the total HP amount, allowing them to ignore half the base damage of an attack.
==Notes==
* The perk grants Damage Resistance but does not increase a companion's Damage Threshold.
* The bonus Damage Resistance given by this perk is similar to the effect of taking Med-X or Slasher.
* The perk will remain active as long as the Courier's health is below 50%, so the effect can be thought of as sustainable, though risky when encountering high-level enemies that can inflict severe damage.
* Ferocious Loyalty works in tandem with companion nerve, which does increase companion Damage Threshold, as well as damage, especially in Hardcore mode.
* Hit Points granted by the Life Giver perk do not count toward the Courier's total health where this perk is concerned. This means the perk will not activate at 50% health as described if Life Giver is also taken, making it harder to safely sustain the effect.
* Perk activation with the Life Giver perk taken into account:
** 130 total HP = Perk activates when < 38.5% (50 HP) of total HP remains.
** 230 total HP = Perk activates when < 43.5% (100 HP) of total HP remains.
** 330 total HP = Perk activates when < 45.5% (150 HP) of total HP remains.
** 430 total HP = Perk activates when < 46.5% (200 HP) of total HP remains.
** 530 total HP = Perk activates when < 47.2% (250 HP) of total HP remains.
** 575 total HP* = Perk activates when < 47.4% (272 HP) of total HP remains.
*** This total is the projected maximum HP that one could acquire for the Courier (level 50, Endurance 10 and having taken the Life Giver perk).
