Companions have always been a staple in the Fallout franchise, as traversing the Wasteland alone is a terrifying enough prospect. In Fallout 4 there are around 14 companions, not counting the several new dogs and your customizable robot at the end of Automatron. We will be including the newest addition to the companion list, Old Longfellow, courtesy of the new Far Harbor DLC. Buch which of these companions in Fallout 4 are the best? In this list we will be deciding which person/mutant/synth is worth the time taking out to the Common Wealth and which one we should leave back in Sanctuary. Basically, the best Fallout 4 companions within the game.
When making this list, we didn’t just base our choice off of personality alone, although that is a tangible factor. After all, nothing’s worse than wandering Fallout 4’s vast world with no one interesting to talk to or receive information from. We will also be considering your companions perks and combat prowess, as these can make or break certain builds for characters. Finally, this list will consider their story and if they offer us any personal quests to partake in. Obviously, everyone will have their preferred character to run with, but these are the Fallout 4 companions we just couldn’t leave home without.
X6-88
X6-88 is one of the later companions you can obtain and he’s really not worth the effort. His perk doesn’t offer much help and the guy is just fairly boring in general. Also his 1980s The Running Man outfit isn’t really helping.
Piper
Yeesh does Piper ever stop talking!? This peppy reporter is one of the earlier companions you meet on your journey and she’s just alright at best. Her Gift of Gab perk is completely underwhelming unless you are running a heavy Charisma build.
Dogmeat
As adorable as Dogmeat can be, he is utterly useless in combat. While his perk does help, the only good thing about him is that the Lone Wanderer skill still activates with him. Otherwise he is good at dying, attracting unneeded attention, and setting off traps.
Preston
Preston’s perk really isn’t that bad when you look at it, as you find yourself constantly outnumbered in Fallout 4. That being said, Preston just isn’t as compelling or interesting as some of the other companions. Maybe if he didn’t nag you to death about settlements, he’d be a bit more tolerable.
Old Longfellow
The newest companion in the Fallout world, Old Longfellow is really useful for the far Harbor DLC… and that’s about it. If his perk was not so situational, he would be a companion I’d take out every time. However, he’s really only needed if you’re doing a Mirelurk-heavy quest.
Danse
Before we start, no, him having Power Armor doesn’t make him intrinsically better than the others. You can put all human companions in Power Amor, Danse isn’t special. Is his damage boost to ghouls and synths really that big of a deal? He’s only higher than the other companions because his time with you is actually interesting.
Codsworth
Yes, he looks absolutely awesome in a bowler hat, but like Longfellow, his perk is fairly situational. If you’re doing the Automatron DLC, Codsworth’s damage boost is fantastic. Outside of this questline? Meh. At least he can say my name right?
Deacon
Gta 5 pc trainer download. Deacon is up this high for two reasons. One, his large boost to stealth damage is really useful and works with almost any build. The other is that the guy is fairly entertaining and clearly a master of disguise.
Curie
While her healing perk is really useful, Curie ranks so high because her questline is genuinely a fascinating one. Seeing her cope with the concept of mortality and what it means to be a robot is really one of Fallout 4’s most compelling tales.
Hancock
Skating on personality alone, Hancock’s journey with you is an interesting one. While he may be a criminal at heart his dark sense of humor and complicated morality makes him a more developed character than the others. Sadly, his perk is basically useless in any area except The Glowing Sea.
MacCready
MacCready gets some extra brownie points for being in Fallout 3, as seeing his transformation was a bit shocking… Then again everyone in LIttle Lamplight is a jerk. His bonus to your hit chance in VATS is also really useful, as the head is 99% of the time the place you should aim at.
Strong
Strong is just a badass. His ability to tank damage and dole it out is incredibly useful. This coupled with the Bezerk perk makes him a great damage dealing companion. While Strong may not have his own quest, the humor and almost endearing way he talks to you makes him unforgettable. It’s like venturing out with a child, a big sledgehammer-wielding- radiation induced child.Even if he doesn’t understand the fine art of computer hacking.
Ada
Ada may not be the most interesting of companions, but her customization options make her very useful. Being able to spec her out to compliment your specific build is very useful. Since she can pick locks, hack computers, or just become a death machine, Ada gets some prime positioning.
Cait
While Cait’s perk may not always activate, you will be damn happy when it does. However, what puts her in the number two slot is that she has the best companion quest in the game. The character arc that she goes through is a truly compelling one and casts her in a completely new light… Also Cait is a monster with the shotgun, so that’s always nice.
Nick Valentine
Cait may have one of the best singular quests in Fallout 4, but Nick has entire narrative arcs. Even though he’s a synth, the amount of heart and emotional moments we get from him is truly stunning. Though he’s not just number one because of how much depth he has, but his skills as well. His perk may not shape the battlefield, but it’s extremely useful for any would-be hackers. Or, you can just have him hack the terminals instead of dumping your skill points into that perk! Nick is also quite handy in a fight and since he is a synth, he’s pretty much immune to anything with radiation damage. Valentine is the person we always want to take on the road with us.
That’s all there is to it! That’s our definitive list of the best Fallout 4 companions. Leave your favorites in the comments down below!

Fallout cheats is an updated list of all Fallout 4 console commands for PC and Mac (Steam). Cheats in this list include those for all DLCs: Nuka-World, Automatron, Far Harbor.
Type the name of a command into the search box to instantly filter 134 commands. Hover over a command in the table to view argument help. Click the 'Card View' button to view console commands in an easy-to-read format.
The key used to open the console in Fallout 4 depends on your keyboard layout. The most common keys are ~ (tilde), ` (grave, usually under ESC) and ' (apostrophe). If none of these work, or you are having issues using the console, please see our console help guide.
Target commands are commands that will apply their effect to the target you currently have selected. To select a target, click on an object, NPC or item whilst the console is open (its reference ID will then appear above the console in brackets). To deselect a target, simply click the target again. All target commands are indicted with a Target Command badge at the end of their description. Add player. to the start of a target console command to apply its effects to your character (e.g. player.additem instead of additem).
Providing your settlers with a decent place to live is not an easy task. In order to do this right, you might require some new buildings and items introduced by the mod described below.
When expanding a location, one might reach a state in which he lacks additional buildings. The Homemaker - Expanded Settlements modification helps with that problem.
This mod introduced many new buildings into the game, which can be placed around the settlements - this includes houses, warehouses, greenhouses, radio towers, and even lighthouses. The modification introduces many novelties also to the interiors of the buildings, as it adds multiple decorative elements. From now on, players can place inside their structures new beds, chairs, shower baths, bathtubs, and even coffee makers.
The author of this mod has also implemented new plants and various light sources - lanterns, table lamps, and candles. Moreover, he took care of the defenses by adding new types of fence, barricades, military blockades, and walls.
Installation
This modification can be installed with Nexus Mod Manager. When installing it, you can select two optional settings:
- Streetlights Use Passive Power - this patch makes the lanterns from the previous version of the mod draw the energy passively from nearby energy sources instead of direct connection.
- Unlocked Institute Objects - this option immediately unlocks Institute's buildings and objects. By default, they become available upon completing a certain stage in the main story campaign.
I’ll be honest, for a while there, I was totally ignorant to the modding community involved in Fallout 4. As someone who played The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, and Fallout 3 on PC, I understood exactly what dedicated modders could create. Unfortunately, I wanted the latest and greatest on the PlayStation 4. I thought playing with a controller on a shiny console would somehow make the game more enjoyable to me. Boy, was I wrong. I spent 60+ hours on the PS4 version of Fallout 4, then quickly switched to PC, where I modded my game into oblivion and beyond. I’m talking brand-new weapons, enhanced graphics, customized building models, and immersion mods galore. There was nothing I wouldn’t download at least once. I broke my game, I reinstalled everything, and I visited Nexus Mods again.

If you’re new to the modding scene in Bethesda games or perhaps just want to enhance Fallout 4 a tad, these 15 mods are so insane that you cannot miss out on them. Honestly, these mods are so great, we didn't even include the Star Wars mod we used in the header image, though you can find that here. Some of the mods mentioned below simply add a unique firearm or tweak the AI a tad. While others completely reimagine significant aspects of the game – making for a more thrilling experience overall. You would do well to spend an afternoon downloading these mods and enhancing the open-world, post-apocalyptic RPG. Of course, we recommend that you download one mod at a time, then test your game experience before continuing. A single mod could break something in-game and, if you just installed twenty, you’d be hard-pressed to find the culprit.

15 Armorsmith Extended
If you’re anything like me, you completely ignore the statistics of each piece of armor in the game and instead opt for style over functionality. That’s completely fine! This is an open-world RPG, after all, which means playing how you want. Unfortunately, Bethesda’s selection of armor, clothing, and armor mods is a bit lacking at the moment. The modding community changed all of that, though.
In Armorsmith Extended, a mod by Gambit77, the whole armor and clothing system was revamped completely. You can now wear any piece of regular clothing underneath individual armor pieces, hats and helmets no longer cover the face, allowing for gas masks and bandanas. And finally, there are new craftable items to wear on the regular. Overall, this is a mod your character needs in their virtual life.
14 Homemaker – Expanded Settlements
The settlements and building aspect of Fallout 4 needed some work, sorry to say. While Bethesda certainly nailed the core aspect, they left a lot for the community to desire. In Homemaker – Expanded Settlements, by NovaCoru, your settlement is no longer a static, boring endeavor that most would consider an afterthought to the main portion of the game. Instead, the mod adds in over 1,000 new, balanced objects, including cars, working street lamps, and entire build sets based on the infamous Institute.
If you enjoy expanding settlements, then more power to you. Why not do so with more items and better placement, though? Instead of patchwork homes made of tin metal and termite-riddled boards, you can build a bustling community with walkways, barriers, and brick-style homes. The options are endless!

13 True Storms – Wasteland Edition
For the most part, it’s easy to completely ignore the weather in a video game – especially one as immersive and impressive as Fallout 4. Once someone points out the lack of intense rain, thunder, and gloomy fog, you’ll never look at the game the same way twice. Sure, Bethesda’s RPG has a weather system, but it’s lackluster.
In True Storms – Wasteland Edition, by modder fadingsignal, a slew of new textures and immersive visuals are added into the game, including rain storms, dust storms, sheet lightning, and fork lightning. There are even 20 new thunder sounds. Fadingsignal went into detail with the sounds. Furthermore, you can even tweak the chance of a Feral Ghoul attack during radiation storms, making them even deadlier overall.
12 Better Settlers
Let’s face it, the NPCs in Fallout 4 are dumb. There’s no skirting around the issue. These characters have no qualms about walking up to a Deathclaw and fist-fighting. Furthermore, they tend to stand around or work wherever you assign them. Life in post-apocalyptic Boston is pretty tiresome and downright annoying.
In Better Settlers, by Thom293, over 230 new settlers are added to the settlement pool, for a total of 270+. You can opt for their vanilla equipment and statistics, or utilize completely lore-friendly equipment, mortality rates, and stats. The choice is yours. In any case, your bustling settlement built with Sim Settlements will look infinitely more impressive with unique NPCs wandering the city streets instead of NPC #221 version 2. Oh, and you can even build a raider settlement!

11 Improved Map w/Visible Roads
The Improved Map w/Visible Roads mod, by mm137, is purely aesthetic, albeit necessary for those tired of the wonky in-game map the game launched with. Consider this a quality of life update for the Sole Survivor. While the improved map does feature an initial weird purple-pink hue, which can be off-putting (albeit changed to your liking), its functionality is what’s important here.
Considered one of the best Fallout 4 mods by PC Gamer, Rock Paper Shotgun, and VG247, Improved Map features distinct waterlines, enhanced roads and train tracks, corrected map marker placement, numbered grid lines, and even regions. Each feature can be tweaked, including brightness and entirely optional features. While you may not see an issue with the current map, switch over to this one, and you’ll immediately notice the difference. Going back is hard!
10 Lowered Weapons
Okay, you don’t need this mod to improve the gameplay whatsoever, but it’s still interesting to have. Consider this one of those “quality of life” immersion-type mods that simply add on to the game in a small way.
Lowered Weapons, by lesma666, simply helps the player put their gun down occasionally. After all, it must be tiring holding an assault rifle at full attention for extended periods. Personally, I hate how the player character points their gun forward at all times. It breaks the immersion of the game, which is astounding to begin with. With Lowered Weapons, you’ll notice a new animation while in the first-person perspective. Now, with the mod installed, your character will rest their weapon, pointing the barrel towards the ground, when not in use. It’s more immersive and enjoyable this way.

9 More Where That Came From
If you’re a veteran of the Fallout franchise, then you already know the in-game music is simply fantastic. Because of this post-apocalyptic video game series, there are more classic music fans in the world than ever before. Like anything good, we always want more, though!
More Where That Came From, by OldManMose76, features 111 lore-friendly, thematically correct songs to Diamond City Radio. DCR is the only worthwhile radio station to listen to in the Commonwealth, so it’s nice to have some more variety available. Of course, the mod also removes DJ Travis’ introductions and segues. Otherwise, Travis would say one song is coming on, then play something entirely different. It would be immersion-breaking. You’ll have to play for quite a long time before listening to all 111 new songs, though, so prepare yourself for a long weekend!
8 Everyone’s Best Friend
Do you remember Dogmeat? He was everyone’s favorite canine companion – albeit for a short while. Upon acquiring your unique pal in the early game, it’s common to ditch him and opt for someone stronger and more efficient. Leaving Dogmeat behind always tugs at the heart-strings, though, doesn’t it?
In Everyone’s Best Friend, from Valdacil, you can now bring Dogmeat on your adventures in addition to a human (or otherwise) companion. Initially, you could only have one or the other, despite Dogmeat not being treated as a full companion. There is evidence of this within the game files. For example, Dogmeat doesn’t disable the Lone Wanderer perk. That’s not an issue any longer, though. So, go ahead and bring Hancock and Dogmeat to clean out the Parkview Apartments. Having an actual RPG party for once is nice!

7 Seasons Project
Yeah, this is the apocalypse, we know! What ever happened to the seasons, though? Humanity has survived 200 years since the bombs first dropped. You would think a bit of snow, spring showers, or falling leaves would be a possibility. In Bethesda’s world, however, that’s unlikely. They prefer dark and drab.
The players, however, don’t. In Seasons Project, by GameDuchess, adds in Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer to the game. Each particular season has its own unique textures and vibe. During winter, you’ll obviously notice a bit of snow covering the ground. During summer, however, the world is less green and includes fewer flowers. It’s the perfect crop harvesting season. If you’re anything like me, the colorful aesthetic of spring pairs nicely with raider blood splashed across the ground.
6 Conquest
If you haven’t noticed, improving the settlement-building features of Fallout 4 is something of a theme with the modding community. Bethesda did well, but there is always room for improvement. In this case, it’s the ability to build a new settlement anywhere in the game world.
In Conquest, by Chesko, you may now create a small campsite to cook, sleep, and refresh yourself while on an adventure. Furthermore, by constructing a new workbench, you can turn your small campsite into a bustling settlement, complete with the benefits and work included. As of right now, the mod allows for ten additional settlements to be built within the game world. Still, that’s ten more settlements to expand, trade with, and gather resources at. The mod doesn’t break immersion either, as it uses in-game assets and you may only build in areas with enough room.

5 Any Mod Any Weapon
Do you want to turn your pipe pistol into a blunderbuss? How about a railway rifle with a triple barrel and a scope attachment? Fallout 4 already has an extensive weapon modding system – far better than what we witnessed in Fallout: New Vegas. However, it has limitations. Limitations we simply cannot work with under these conditions.
Combat Zone Mod Fallout 4 3
Any Mod Any Weapon, by LucasGod, effectively opens the weapon modding system completely. You can now equip any weapon modification to any weapon in the game. Go wild! Some of the creations people have made are downright wacky, but still pretty dang cool to witness in action. It’s nothing to suppress a .44 revolver, equip an extended barrel, and turn said revolver into a rifle. While it may not be fully immersive to the game world, it’s still fun and that’s the point of the game!
4 Fusion City Rising – Quest Mod
There are a few standout quests in Fallout 4 that every player remembers. Then there are those we would rather forget. Everyone can agree, however, that we need more quests to fill out the game world. That is the precise goal of Fusion City Rising, by Recluse and Thuggysmurf.
Fusion City Rising is a unique quest mod that features 10 to 20 hours of additional content. There are new quests, new locations, new factions, and even new companions to recruit. Fusion City, itself, is a massive underground complex that is bigger than Diamond City, complete with a mall, subway system, hotel, player home, bank, shooting range, and every type of vendor imaginable. It’s massive, pure and simple. When you’re not fighting the new enemy factors or completing side-quests, you’ll want to simply explore the huge game world added to the wasteland.

3 We Are The Minutemen
Players understood the narrative of the Minutemen, sure, but they didn’t quite grasp the concept in-game. It’s clear that Bethesda wanted this unique, player-run faction to be the most efficient alternative to rebuilding the Commonwealth. By acquiring more settlements, you thus gain new sources of revenue and resources. Unfortunately, the faction suffered from lackluster implementation.
We Are The Minutemen, by TheFirstEnd, is designed to expand upon the faction, making them more attractive, immersive, and useful to the game world. You’ll notice Minutemen reinforcements, Veteran Minutemen equipped with Gauss weaponry, new armors, and an overall stronger faction worthy of defending the common settler. In the vanilla game, the Brotherhood of Steel and Institute were more attractive choices to side with. With We Are the Minutemen, the militia is worthy of your time and attention.
2 RU556 – Assault Rifle
The community, for the most part, absolutely adored the pipe weapons that took center-stage in Fallout 4. They were immersive, somewhat realistic, and exciting to mod in the late-game. Unfortunately, they kind of dominated the wasteland. Almost every raider in the game armed themselves with some type of pipe weapon. It grew tiresome. We want some variety, Bethesda!
Thus, the RU556, by modders FX0x01, Ha_ru, Navaro, Lee Swagger, and others, was introduced. The assault rifle features new, high-quality textures, custom animations and sounds, extensive customization options, and is in leveled lists. Leveled lists? What does that mean? You may ask. Basically, until you hit level 25, the RU556 won’t spawn in the game. It’s a high-powered assault rifle, after all.

1 Sim Settlements
While I personally enjoy building a post-apocalyptic settlement, the feature introduced in Fallout 4 was a bit tedious, to say the least. You're tasked with rescuing settlements, seeing to their every need, and then growing from one shack to two. If there were no existing structures in the immediate area, you oversaw the construction from scratch. Snooze!
In Sim Settlements, from modder kinggath, you simply set down designated plots of land, including residential, agricultural, and retail. Your residents could then be assigned their very own plot, where they would construct their very own domiciles. There is enough variety in the buildings to offer a real sense of a settlement. Of course, you’re still in charge of basic needs, including water, food, and defense. In any case, instead of the NPC being lazy, you get to be lazy!
