Fallout 4: How to Get Brahmin for Your Settlement

Buy from a Traveller

On your journey across the wasteland, you’ll find travelers offering you fine wares and goods to make survival that little bit easier. However, there are reports that some travelers out in the wasteland have Brahmin for sale that can be sent to a settlement of your choice.

Just like the traveler who was willing to sell his dog, all you have to do is stumble upon this traveler by chance and you’ll hopefully be given the opportunity to buy the strange mutant cow. Just make sure you have the money to afford the creature. Once you’ve paid him, simply select the settlement that you want to send the Brahmin to and it’ll slowly but surely make its way there. Sometimes fast traveling and waiting can help to make the Brahmin appear at your chosen settlement.

Beacon

If you’ve been trying to increase the size of your settlement, you’ve probably built yourself a beacon. These things transmit a signal across the wasteland basically telling settlers to head to your settlement and live a new, happy life. However, there is a small possibility that sometimes a beacon can lead to a Brahmin appearing in your settlement rather than a human.

Whether this was intended to happen, or just a strange glitch, it does happen on occasion. If you’re desperately after a Brahmin in Fallout 4 and still haven’t had any luck, build a beacon and try your luck.

Accompanying a Settler

Whether they were merely a passerby or heard the signal broadcasting from your beacon, settlers can sometimes bring their own Brahmin to your settlement with them.

If you’re lucky enough to get a Brahmin with a new settler we advise trying to pen it away somewhere with fencing. The animals have a tendency to go wandering through your settlement and getting them stuck in the strangest of places.

Feeding Trough

While we’re pretty sure that the feeding trough was put into the game to allow you to feed Brahmin already in your settlement, it seems they may be able to lure the creatures too.

Some players have reported that putting the bathtub-turned-feeding troughs in their settlements have led to Brahmin just appearing there and eating the food inside. It may not happen all the time, or may just be a bit of a weird glitch, but it’s always worth a try if you’re desperate to grab yourself a mutant cow for your settlement.

And that’s all there is to getting a Brahmin in Fallout 4. Have you got yourself one of the strange cow creatures yet? Let us know in the comments below.
