“ You have killed children , the youth of the wasteland. This is considered to be a really bad thing. You evil, evil person. ” Fallout and Fallout 2 description anddescription

Childkiller is a Reputation title in Fallout and Fallout 2.

Obtaining Edit

The Childkiller reputation is conferred upon the player after killing children. Although the reputation will display in the character sheet immediately, it will remain inactive until the player kills at least three (Fallout) or two (Fallout 2) children.

The games only track combat kills made by the player. As such, companions can kill children with impunity, even if the player starts combat with eg. a plant spike. Assassinations made with super stimpaks and planted explosives also do not increment the Childkiller counter.

Each kill increments the Childkiller count by one. In Fallout 2, there are a few kids who increase the child-kill count twice because of a script redundancy (and thus instantly makes the Chosen One a "real" Childkiller). These are Jonny in Modoc, the Slag kids and Curtis in Vault City. Furthermore, killing Myron does count towards becoming a Childkiller despite him not being a typical child.
