Gabe is an oversized cyberdog found in the X-8 Research Center's testing facility in Fallout: New Vegas. He is bigger than the other usual police or military cyberdog and is more powerful.
Background[edit]
Gabe was the pet of Doctor Borous before the Great War. Gabe's savage nature comes as a result of Borous feeding him Psycho in his dog food. It is also revealed in dialogue with Borous that he fed him Buffout.
After the completion of A Brain's Best Friend, Doctor Borous reveals that Gabe was his only friend during his rough childhood and was the only loyal animal when he was working at the Big MT. When Borous was talking to him about Richie Marcus and Betsy Bright bullying him, Gabe would sit by his side with his head on his leg. Ultimately, with proper Speech checks the Courier can show Doctor Borous the error in his actions and make him feel remorse for experimenting on his loyal pet.

Notes[edit]
At the back of House #103 in Higgs Village Gabe's dog house can be found. With the Wild Wasteland trait, approaching the dog house will cause a miniature deathclaw named Stripe to spawn; Stripe is hostile towards the player character and does as much damage as a Legendary Deathclaw.- Upon death, Gabe will become atomic and detonate; this is accompanied by a less-than-accurate countdown announced by the Think Tank and Mobius. By running as far away as possible from the body, health loss can be avoided.
- Gabe's atomic core will still detonate even if his body is reduced to ash or plasma goo, as it is a scripted event.
- Gabe is one of the least perceptive enemies in Fallout: New Vegas, with 0 Perception, the same as all Ghost People, allowing the Courier to sneak past him to find Gabe's Bark.
