If you reach maximum relationship with Curie, you will be granted the Sole Survivor perk which gives you 100 HP if you ever fall below 10% HP, although only once per day. She will however give you Stimpaks from time to time which, as I’m sure you know, are important. With 58 SPECIAL points, she’s a tough cookie too.Įssentially your own personal combat medic, you can’t give Curie any items or weapons to make her stronger, so she does what little damage she can. She’s perfect for low level players as her perk grants double experience for finding new locations and successfully achieving Charisma chat options. She often interacts with the player and the world.

He does have very low stats with 42 SPECIAL points, but his perk gives you 20% headshot accuracy in VATS which is really good. He can steal well too, if a player commands him to steal something he’ll often do it without getting caught. He’s a harsh fellow, liking the player for lying, threatening or bargaining more money.

He’s fairly strong with 57 SPECIAL points, spread out over all SPECIALs except a few in Strength. Just the second companion you meet, Preston is a minuteman helping to make the world a better place. Overall she’s a fun and likeable character with a lot of witty statements. Her perk Trigger Rush grants higher AP regeneration at low HP which can be really useful in sticky situations.
She can be used to pick locks if you direct her, which can be really helpful if you have trouble with locks or simply can’t be bothered. With just 53 SPECIAL points, you might find her a bit lackluster but he strengths are in other abilities. He’ll also occasionally give you chems for free.įound in the Combat Zone, Cait is a formidable companion with a distinctive Irish accent. He has a rather unique trait in that his perk you gain, Isodoped, gives you 20% bonus critical meter but you need at least 250 rads of radiation.
He has 64 SPECIAL points which are quite evenly spread, but most are in Intelligence, Agility and Perception. This ghoul is the mayor of a city called Goodneighbour, most likely you’ve encountered him but haven’t spoken to him properly.
