Fallout New Vegas remains a massive topic of discussion across community hubs, streaming channels, and retro playthrough marathons. Whether you are revisiting the Mojave Wasteland or diving in for the first time, having the right companion by your side changes everything. Followers not only back you up in tough combat scenarios, but they also grant unique stat perks and unlock extensive personal quests that dive deep into the lore. Polygon recently published a comprehensive guide breaking down exactly where to find every follower and what it takes to recruit them.
The companion system in Obsidian's classic RPG lets you travel with two followers at a time, specifically one human and one non-human pet. This means building your ideal squad requires a bit of strategy. You have to balance heavy hitters like Craig Boone or Arcade Gannon with trusty companions like the cyberdog Rex or the handy eyebot ED-E. Each character has distinct recruitment requirements, ranging from straightforward dialogue choices to completing multi-step side quests or passing specific Speech checks.
Recruitment ranges from effortless encounters to challenging tasks. Veronica at the 188 Trading Post is happy to join if you simply show a bit of appreciation for the Brotherhood of Steel. On the other hand, recruiting Lily requires heading up to Jacobstown, speaking with Doctor Henry, and getting involved with local research. If you ever want to swap out your active squad, dismissed companions conveniently hang out at the Lucky 38 casino suite so you can easily track them down later. For the full breakdown on location details and recruitment prerequisites, check out the original guide on Polygon.
