It\u2019s a huge world, with more NPCs than the human brain can possibly fathom. But how many of them can we befriend in such a way?<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not like Pok\u00e9mon, and you can\u2019t try to recruit everyone you come across in the wild. <strong>There are only 13 possible companions in Fallout 4<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Now let\u2019s take a look at them!<\/p>\n<script src=\"https:\/\/cdn.greenvideo.io\/players\/gv.js\" data-license-key=\"f0cf5e3e9068d9a4affa36d5c8962eaf1a0662ba\"\/> <div style=\"width:50%;min-height:100vh;overflow:hidden;aspect-ratio:16\/9;position:relative;\"> <style><![CDATA[ .gvtext1, .gvtext2 { animation-duration: 5s; animation-iteration-count: infinite; animation-direction: alternate; width:100%; } .gvtext1 { animation-name: gvtext1; } .gvtext2 { animation-name: gvtext2; } @keyframes gvtext1 { 0% { opacity: 1 } 47% { opacity: 1 } 50% { opacity: 0 } 100% { opacity: 0 } } @keyframes gvtext2 { 0% { opacity: 0 } 50% { opacity: 0 } 53% { opacity: 1 } 100% { opacity: 1 } } ]]><\/style> <div style=\"font-family:arial;font-size:smaller;position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;background:rgb(208, 208, 208);border-radius:30px;display:flex;text-align:center;align-items:center;\"> <div class=\"gvtext2\" style=\"position:absolute;\"> Green Video Post Element <br\/>Video ID: \"b5e2ff4e52aef139121f583f238b31cb776c12bb\" <br\/>Mix ID: \"\" <br\/>Player ID: \"Tw3-XowQ\" <\/div> <div class=\"gvtext1\" style=\"padding: 10px;\"> If the player doesn't appear here within a few seconds, the Player ID or Licence Key (set via IM Green Video settings) might be invalid. <\/div> <\/div> <green-video embed-id=\"Tw3-XowQ\" content-id=\"b5e2ff4e52aef139121f583f238b31cb776c12bb\" mix-id=\"\"\/>\n<\/div> <h2><strong>Full list of Fallout 4 companions and how to get them all<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>While there are only 13 companions, it\u2019s quite a variety to behold. Let\u2019s start with the one most of you will want, and we can\u2019t blame you.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Dogmeat<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This faithful canine companion is more than just a comfort animal. He has powerful search abilities to help you find those hidden items, and he\u2019s not bad in a fight either. Thankfully, he can only get injured, so there\u2019s no need to worry he\u2019ll live up to his name.<\/p>\n<p>You can find Dogmeat outside the Red Rocket Truck Stop.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Preston Garvey<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Preston Garvey is the leader of the Minutemen, and a good guy to have on your side. As well as a moral outlook, he\u2019s pretty handy with a Laser Musket.<\/p>\n<p>Recruit him by completing The First Step mission. He\u2019s also romanceable.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Codsworth<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Codsworth is a pleasant robot, and the first of the companions that you\u2019ll come across. He can modify your weapons and armour, and you can romance him if you\u2019re into that sort of thing!<\/p>\n<p>You can recruit him after completing the Out of Time mission.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Nick Valentine<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Nick is a suave android dressed as a character plucked from film noir. A private investigator, he\u2019s great at hacking and packs a revolver.<\/p>\n<p>Recruit him after finishing Unlikely Valentine.<\/p> <h3><strong>Piper<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>An anti-establishment reporter from Diamond City, Piper is great to have around if you want conversations to go your way. Play your cards right and you can romance her, too.<\/p>\n<p>She\u2019s available to recruit after finishing the Story of the Century mission.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Curie<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Another robot, Curie has an eccentric personality and is located within Vault 81. She wields a flamethrower and, once again, you can try your luck with the robot romance.<\/p>\n<p>You can recruit her after the Hole in the Wall mission.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Deacon<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This shades-sporting companion frequently changes his outfits to blend in, so you\u2019ll want him around for any stealth or hacking jobs.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019ll join you during the Tradecraft mission.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>X6-88<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Like Nick Valentine, X6-88 is a synth. But this one is affiliated with The Institute. Equipped with a Laser Rifle, he\u2019s great for ranged attacks and energy resistance.<\/p>\n<p>Recruit X6-88 in The Institute.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>MacCready<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This mercenary is a former gunner, so his accuracy is amazingly high. MacCready lives in Goodneighbor, and it\u2019s possible to romance him.<\/p>\n<p>Recruit him as a companion after paying his fee at The Third Rail in Goodneighbor.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Strong<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This super mutant lives up to his name. He goes berserk at low health, which makes him a formidable companion in combat.<\/p>\n<p>Recruit him at Trinity Tower.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Danse<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>A member of the Brotherhood of Steel (which you\u2019ll know all about if you watched the TV series), Danse is extremely strong \u2013 especially against feral ghouls, super mutants and synths. You can also romance him.<\/p>\n<p>Recruit him at the Cambridge Police Station.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Cait<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This shotgun-wielding badass has nothing to lose and everything to gain. A former raider who\u2019s addicted to chem and alcohol, take her with you for a hectic time. If you\u2019re into bad girls, you can romance her.<\/p>\n<p>Recruit her in the Combat Zone.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Hancock<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Hancock is a ghoul, so his face will be familiar if you\u2019ve just finished marathoning the TV series. Sporting 18th-century attire, this shotgun-toting rogue is handy in a fight.<\/p>\n<p>You can recruit him in Goodneighbor.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Check out more of our <a title=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/\" href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/\">Gaming<\/a> coverage or visit our <a title=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/tv-listings\/\" href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/tv-listings\/\">TV Guide<\/a> and <a title=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/streaming-guide\/\" href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/streaming-guide\/\">Streaming Guide<\/a> to find out what\u2019s on.
