Fallout 4: All companions in the overview
On your journey through the post-apocalyptic wasteland in Fallout 4, you will encounter many characters who are at your side. All companions and their locations can be found in the following overview.
Fallout 4: the first companions
- Dogmeat: The loyal dog becomes a valuable companion early in Fallout 4. You meet him at the Red Rocket gas station on the way to Concord. He barks when there are enemies or secret treasures nearby, and knocks enemies to the ground in battle.
- Preston Garvey: You will find the Minutemen boss in Concord. If you complete all of his assignments, he will be available as a companion. His perk gives you bonuses to damage and damage resistance when fighting at least three enemies.
- Codsworth: You can recruit this robot butler when you return to your Sanctuary home after leaving Vault 111 and completing the robot quest. His skills allow him to reprocess water and better protect you from energy weapons.
- Paladin Danse: You meet the member of the Brotherhood of Steel in front of the police station in Cambridge. Complete his quest and defeat the ghouls to get a valuable companion that grants you bonus damage against ghouls, super mutants and synths.
Helpful companions in Fallout 4
- Piper: The reporter is at the gates of Diamond City. Help her research to recruit her and earn double experience points for successful dialogue and language challenges as well as discovering new places.
- Nick Valentine: Talk to the girl who sells newspapers in Diamond City and then go to Nick Valentine's detective agency. You meet Nick in Vault 114. If he has joined you, you have one more free attempt to hack a terminal.
- Hancock: The ghoul Hancock is the mayor of the village of Goodneighbor. Find him in his building, complete the quest, and accompany him to get a higher critical strike chance.
- MacCready: He is the Mayor of Little Lamplight from Fallout 3, whom you will find in the bar "The Third Rail" in Goodneighbor. When you recruit him, he grants you higher precision for headshots in VATS.
Fallout 4: The Last Companions
- Cait: She is in the Combat Zone west of Diamond City. Gain your trust by killing all raiders. She joins you and can then crack locks for you. It also speeds up the regeneration of your action points in poor health.
- Curie: She is the female counterpart to the robot butler Codsworth and does her job as a nurse. Curie can be found in Vault 81. Complete your quest, be one of your companions, and heal you once a day if your health is low.
- Deacon: The sneaking expert is characterized by its trademark, the sunglasses. He can be found in the Old North Church near Boston. If you have rushed to his aid, he will accompany you from now on and increase your stealth values when sneaking and the damage caused by sneak attacks.
- Strong: The super mutant with a Shakespeare preference is in the Trinity Tower. Free Rex Goodman and Strong from the cell there. The latter joins you and grants you as a companion a bonus to melee damage.
- X6-88: The runner enhanced with synth technology is waiting for you at the institute. Complete the "Humanity - Redefined" challenge and he will be your companion who will increase your resistance to energy weapons and find nearby enemies.
