Reason: The mod updated to version 19.08.2026

This mod is an optional breed add-on for the Companion Dogs base mod, introducing the Rottweiler as a combat-category dog. It is built for Build 42 (42.19) and works in singleplayer, co-op, and dedicated servers. It is safe to add to existing saves.

Requirements:

  • Requires the base mod Companion Dogs (version 0.6.3 or newer)
  • Both mods must be enabled in the main-menu Mods list
  • A full game restart is required to load the dog model correctly

Features:

  • Full combat breed: Learns Combat twice as fast, hits hard at high skill, knocks zombies down, and remains engaged in combat where other breeds might panic
  • Front Line moodle: A unique indicator appears when a fed, loyal Rottweiler is at the player's side. While the dog is engaged in combat nearby, every melee swing refunds approximately 35% of the endurance cost. This benefit applies only to melee attacks and requires the dog to be cared for (not starving or disloyal)
  • Industrial guard dog: Stray Rottweilers spawn in warehouses, factories, storage yards, and junkyards with roughly a 10% chance per industrial building. They have a quarter of the stray spawn rate in residential homes. Spawn rates scale with the sandbox Animal/Dog spawn multiplier. Tame them by feeding until they trust you
  • Base mod integration: Includes all features from the base mod, such as Follow/Stay/Guard commands, sentinel alerts, hunting, saddlebags, needs & loyalty systems, skills & genetics, and breeding (including cross-breeding with other breeds)

Warning: Do not remove this add-on from a save file that contains living Rottweilers, as the game engine discards animals of unknown types. Other dogs and the base mod remain unaffected.
