Name

Josie


Role

Brahmin Tamer


Location

After being hired: From Marley’s desk, face north and walk straight ahead. Stop at the stairs on your left. Josie will be standing next to the stairs, in front of the Brahmin shed.


Cost

Hire Cost (Tier 1) - 100 Supplies

Upgrade 1 (Tier 2) - 200 Supplies

Upgrade 2 (Tier 3) - 300 Supplies - Cut from Live Servers



Notes

After upgrading Josie to Tier 2 through Marley, be sure to go through all of Josie's dialogue options. Once you’ve completed all conversations and given her an Addictol, the Tier 3 Brahmin Buffs will unlock automatically. The plan for Josie's Snow Globe will become available once she’s off the chems. You may need to leave the server or exit and re-enter the tunnel to finish the dialogue and unlock the plan.


Snow Globe

Yes

Daily Quest

No


Vendor

No


Inventory

Brahmin Buffs

These buffs only need to be bought once, are permanent, and stack with the other Brahmin buffs but do not stack on themselves.


If you’re new, low-level, or not ready for heavy combat, the constant enemy attacks on the caravan can make it difficult to keep the Brahmin alive. Consider investing some time and Supplies into buffing your Brahmin first. This will make farming the event and earning supplies easier in the long run.


For experienced and combat-ready players who want to complete the grind as fast as possible, or upgrade multiple vendors efficiently, spending 200 Supplies to hire Josie and purchasing the Cattle Encourager Brahmin Buff (tier 1) is a wise choice. This buff increases the speed of your Brahmin, cutting the event time from 10 minutes to 5 minutes or less.


Tier 1

Wasteland Hay (Improved Health 01)

Buff

Fortify Health: +50 HP

Fortify Rad Health Max: +50 Rad Resist

Cost

25 Supplies


Rad-free Alfalfa (Improved Health 02)

Buff

Fortify Health: +70 HP

Fortify Rad Health Max: +70 Rad Resist

Cost

70 Supplies


Cattle Encourager (Move Speed Increase 01*)

Buff

Fortify Speed Mult: 5

Cost

100 Supplies

*Faster general speed

Note

If you plan to run more than 10 Caravan Events, I highly recommend getting this buff.


Tier 2

Thorn Feed (Reflects Damage 01)

Buff

5% chance to Ricochet non-grenade damage

Cost

100 Supplies


Irradiated Corn (Improved Health 03)

Buff

Fortify Health: +100 HP

Fortify Rad Health Max: +100 Rad Resist

Cost

150 Supplies


Cattle Inspirer (Improved Hurry Speed 01*)

Buff

Fortify Hurry Length: +0.05

Cost

250 Supplies

*Hurry Speed lasts longer

Note

While this makes the Brahmin faster again, the pace can be uncomfortable to maintain. It stops and starts frequently, and it's starting to use up my AP for chasing the Brahmin instead of saving it for V.A.T.S.


Tier 3

Pre-War Vitamins (Improved Health 04)

Buff

Fortify Health: +100 HP

Fortify Rad Health Max: +100 Rad Resist

Cost

250 Supplies

Buff

10% chance to Ricochet non-grenade damage

Cost

300 Supplies


Endurance Crop (Health Regeneration 01)

Buff

Restore Health: +10 HP every time the Brahmin takes damage.

Cooldown: 30 seconds

Cost

500 Supplies

Note

You can use the Friendly Fire perk card or the Legendary Prefix Medics to heal the Brahmin instead.


Cattle Spurer (Improved Hurry Speed 02*)

Buff

Fortify Hurry Length: +0.08

Cost

500 Supplies

*Hurry Speed lasts longer

 

Hey there, I'm Kat, also known as Duchess!


I'm an Aussie data miner who creates guides for farming, events, and food buffs in Fallout 76.


I firmly believe that knowledge should be accessible to everyone, so my guides will always be free. However, maintaining a website and using photo and video editing software can be costly.


If you find my guides useful, here are a few ways you can support me:


- Share My Guides: Help your fellow vault dwellers by sharing my guides.

- Follow Me on Social Media: Keep up with my latest updates by following me on social media.

- One-Time Donation: Buy me a coffee.

- Monthly Contribution: Become a regular supporter by subscribing to my Ko-fi page.


Every bit of support helps cover the costs of creating these guides and maybe even gets me a cup of coffee or three ;)


Thanks for your support!
