Benefit Or a Hazard is a one-star (★) challenge added in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Gun Runners' Arsenal.

Obtaining

To complete it, you must kill 15 robots with a 5.56mm pistol.

Notes

• That Gun kills will count.
• While the Mister Handies at REPCONN headquarters do not count for Man-Machine Interface, they do count for this challenge. You can even disable them first, then shoot them.

Behind the scenes

• This challenge is a cultural reference to Ridley Scott's Blade Runner (the silver screen adaption of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick). Specifically, the name refers to Rick Deckard's statement given to Rachel: "Replicants are like any other machine - they're either a benefit or a hazard. If they're a benefit, it's not my problem.", while the challenge itself mimics Deckard's (whose pistol the 5.56mm was designed after) actions during the film.
