Cait is a cage fighter and a possible companion living in the Combat Zone in 2287.
Background
Cait was born into a distant and abusive family of Irish1 descent in 2261, her parents would routinely beat and yell at her. She attempted to run away twice, the first time she did it, they locked her in a shed outside of the house they lived in. The second time, they broke one of her legs.[2] Cait eventually became convinced she was a mistake, due to the constant abuse, but deluded herself into thinking that they loved her. Enough not to kick her out of the house. The illusion was shattered once her eighteenth birthday came: They had slapped a shock collar around her neck and sold her into slavery, all without a hint of regret.[3][4]
For the next five years, Cait was used as an entertainment slave, for a variety of purposes she refuses to detail. While it wrecked her emotionally and warped her personality, Cait carefully cultivated an anger inside her and eventually learned some tricks of their trade. Stealing caps from sleeping men after they used her, she eventually managed to buy her freedom. With 23 years worth of pent-up fury, she tracked down her parents and gunned them in bloody vengeance.[5][6]
After everything was said and done, Cait took to alcohol and chems to help forget her past. She joined the Combat Zone as a cage fighter and fought to provide her with the funds to buy everything she needed to forget. The point of the fighting wasn't just to provide her with funds, though. She hated everyone, herself the most, and the violence - and pain, and wounds, and the Psycho - were ways to punish herself and find death.[7] Unfortunately, Cait proved too tough to beat, even when raiders took the joint over and it got decidedly more lethal. Those who didn't keep their head on a swivel were liable to be sucker-punched and robbed in the best of circumstances. Cait herself learned that, short of buying friends, she's a victim waiting to be preyed upon. The teacher of that vital lesson was a raider named Stratton, who dumped her to be beaten up by raiders the moment she stopped having sex with him.[8]
By the time the Sole Survivor comes, Cait has been a cage fighter for three years, two of them under raider management - all with a hundred victory to her name.[9] As the Sole Survivor enters the Combat Zone and defeats the raiders, Tommy Lonegan offers them Cait's contract because her self destructive reliance on psycho.
Personality
Caits puts up a deceptively convincing tough Irish gal act, but beneath the exterior is a broken woman with a lifetime of misery behind her.[10] Cait is thoroughly paranoid of everyone around her as everyone she's known deeply has betrayed her some way. This has caused an inherent mistrust in anyone, especially those doing selfless offers of kindness. The only relationship she currently trusts is trade relationships, either through caps or other services.[11] She is also deeply regretful of many of the choices she's made in life, questioning if the brutality she's known all her life is truly the only way to settle things.[12]
Despite her life being a seemingly unceasing march of adversity, disappointment, and horror (coupled with Psycho reliance and the accompanying progressive health damage[13]), Cait refuses to take the easy way out. Staring down barrels of her shotgun more than once, she has yet to pull the trigger. Instead, she pursued the death she couldn't give herself in the ring, crushed to death by one of the hundreds of opponents she had fought.[7] But she persevered, hoping and praying to find a single decent scrap of humanity in her life and in the world. Perhaps the Sole Survivor will be that scrap.[14]
As an escape and a way to forget the traumas of her life, Cait has taken to both the bottle and the needle (specifically psycho) and has been using both for several years.[14] Because of this prolonged usage, she is incapable of being cured of her psycho addiction through normal means, either a doctor or Addictol.[15]

Fallout: The Board Game
The following is based on information from Fallout: The Board Game. |
Cait can be acquired at the shop by any player character that has the Vilified trait. When the player character has her as the active companion and performs a test that uses Perception, Agility, or Luck, she can be exhausted to gain one hit on the test.
When the player character performs the camp action, she will become unexhausted. However, if the player character does not have at least one drug in their inventory, she must be discarded.
Inventory
Apparel | Weapon | Other items |
---|---|---|
Corset | Baseball bat Double-barrel shotgun |
Notes
- She will try to comfort the player character if taken to the corpse of Nate/Nora in Vault 111.
- Cait will dislike all four of the first set of dialogue options during the Minutemen quests to help settlements with raiders.
- Cait will actively use Psycho, Jet, RadAway and other chems in her inventory. Since it was explained she was an addict when meeting her, it might be beneficial to keep her stocked up as she appears to get friendly very quickly, and it might improve her usefulness in fights.
- If Cait has any Psycho or Jet, one can sometimes see her using it before completing her personal quest.
- Although not always, Cait may react negatively after completing her personal quest "Benign Intervention" if the player character uses chems in front of her. She will berate them for being a "hypocrite" for using them after helping her to cure her Psycho addiction.
- The Sole Survivor may raise Cait's affection level by removing their own clothing and fast traveling between safe locations.
- Before completing Benign Intervention, Cait likes when the Sole Survivor drinks hard alcoholic beverages (bourbon, rum, vodka, whiskey and wine). Drinking before sleeping and before waiting will speed up the process.
- Cait will disapprove of joining any of the factions until the second act of the main story when the Brotherhood of Steel comes in. After this she will no longer disapprove of joining the Brotherhood of Steel.
- Cait asks Takahashi to serve her a drink on their first meeting, but she doesn't get it as Takahashi only serves noodles in the Diamond City market.
- Cait's dialogue while exploring several of the vaults indicates that she is already familiar with the Vault-Tec experiments and the true purpose of the vault network.
- When replaced by certain companions, Cait is prone to make flirtatious comments, such as Piper, for whom she will say it's "too bad they can't make it a threesome," or Deacon and MacCready, whom she refers to as "handsome." She also tells Hancock that if she ever decides to "go ghoul," he'll be the one she calls.
- Without completing her personal quest "Benign Intervention," the maximum level of affinity that can be reached with her is 999. This means that to be able to get her perk "Trigger Rush," the player character has to complete her quest first.
The following is based on Fallout 4 cut content. |
- Cut dialogue for Tommy Lonegan indicates that at one stage during development, it was planned for Cait to be acquired after losing a fight with the player character.[16]
End of information based on Fallout 4 cut content |
Notable quotes
- "It all starts with two wastes of humanity I suppose you could called me parents. I'm convinced that I was a mistake, because I can't remember a single moment that they treated me like their daughter."
- "You can imagine the look on me parents faces when I kicked on their door. What you can't imagine is what they looked like after... after I emptied me gun into them."

Appearances
Cait appears in Fallout 4 and Fallout: The Board Game.
Bugs
- Benign Intervention.[verified] Cait's quest might not trigger after her confession about her addiction. Taking another companion, sending her back to a settlement, and then talking with her should trigger the quest (it may have to do with her being flagged as a companion). For more info about this bug, read
- Cait will talk about wanting to "lower the dosage" if she thinks she is being followed in combat after Vault 95.[verified]
- During Cait's companion quest, Cait may begin to randomly collapse as if incapacitated during the dialogue. This will continue following completion of the quest.[verified]
- Ordering Cait to pick a floor safe when there is an object between the safe and Cait may sometimes cause her to pace aimlessly around the area.[verified]

- ↑ The Sole Survivor: "Why didn't you run away?"
Cait: "I tried. Twice. The first time I did it, they locked me in a shed outside of the house we lived in. The second time, they broke one of me legs."
(Cait's dialogue) - ↑ The Sole Survivor: "I appreciate your trust."
Cait: "Well, you're the first to earn it. It all starts with two wastes of humanity I suppose you could call me parents. I'm convinced I was a mistake, because I can't remember a single moment that they treated me like their daughter. I was yelled at and beaten. Everythin' I did was wrong. Nothin' but a nuisance in their eyes. The whole time I was tellin' meself that they had to love me, even if it was just the tiniest bit, because they never kicked me out. Then me eighteenth birthday arrived, and I found out why they kept me around. They slapped a shock collar around me neck and sold me to slavers. They didn't even care enough about me to say goodbye. Eighteen years of sufferin' through that shite and all I was worth to them was a pocketful of caps."
(Cait's dialogue) - ↑ The Sole Survivor: "How could you kill your own parents?"
Cait: "How can you call them parents? They were opportunists who were takin' advantage of a human bein' just to make a few caps! If I had come out of that bitch of a mother deformed, they would have drowned me in the river and started again. They didn't give a shite about me. So I didn't give a shite about them. End of story."
(Cait's dialogue) - ↑ The Sole Survivor: "My god. I'm so sorry."
Cait: "Thanks, but there's more to the story. It would be easy to blame me charmin' personality on me parents. But they didn't make me this way, I did. I was with those slavers for five years. Roughest five of me goddamn life. The things they made me do... the way they used me for their amusement. It sickens me to my stomach even thinkin' about it. But I bidded me time and learned to use their own methods against them. Stealin' a few caps out of a sleepin' man's pocket is a piece of cake... as long as you don't get greedy."
(Cait's dialogue) - ↑ The Sole Survivor: "I can't even imagine having to go through something like that."
Cait: "You think that's low? Just wait. The story gets much worse. It took every ounce of patience I had, but after five years I had finally pocketed enough to buy me own way outta there. But instead of headin' off to try and repair the shambles of me life, I gave in to me rage and I headed home. You can imagine the look on me parents faces when I kicked open their door. What you can't imagine is what they looked like after... after I emptied me gun into them."
(Cait's dialogue) - ↑ 7.0 7.1 The Sole Survivor: "I always have time to listen to you, Cait."
Cait: "Good, because this isn't easy for me to say, and I want to get it right. Sigh. Where do I begin? Did you know I spent three years fightin' at the Combat Zone? Three years of gettin' beaten to hell by a bunch of losers and lunatics. After the matches were over, I'd spit out the blood, stitch me wounds and do a couple shots of Psycho to keep me goin'. I fuckin' hated it. I hated the crowds, I hated the other fighters and I hated meself. I never understood why I put myself through all of that. Until now. It's because I was alone. And I think deep down, I wanted to die... I wanted one of me opponents to crush the life out of me. The easy way out."
(Cait's dialogue) - ↑ The Sole Survivor: "Why are you so paranoid about debts?"
Cait: "It was kind of my fault. Got close to a guy named Stratton while I was there... thought we really had somethin' goin'. One night we had a fight cause I wouldn't hop in the sack with him. Our fight got pretty bad... nothin' physical, just a whole lot of yellin'. So I get pissed off, and I leave. I get outside and a bunch of Raiders start pushin' me around, givin' me shite. Stratton walks out, looks at me and says "Next time you'll think twice before walkin' out on me." Fucker left me there. I got beat up pretty good that night. That's when I learned that nobody does favors for free."
(Cait's dialogue) - ↑ The Sole Survivor: "What exactly do you think I'm expecting in return?"
Cait: "Who knows? Doin' your laundry, takin' a bullet for you, haulin' your gear... what's the difference? I don't think I'm getting' through to you. Let me explain what I mean, and then maybe you'll understand where I'm comin' from. I spent three years livin' at the Combat Zone. Smelled like puke and piss, but I called it home. I was makin' a few caps, had me own bed to sleep in and three hot meals a day. Then the Raiders took over the place. You know that lot... they aren't exactly what you'd call "the gentle type." After they moved in, if you didn't keep lookin' over your shoulder, you were liable to get sucker punched and robbed... or worse. Didn't take me long to learn that I had to put my hard-earned caps to good use. Buyin' friends was essential to makin' life easier. So I guess I'm waitin' for you to hand me a bill, you know what I mean?"
(Cait's dialogue) - ↑ The Sole Survivor: "Sounds like justice to me."
Cait: "Was it justice or was it murder? When I close me eyes, all I can see is their faces twisted with fear. And then me mind starts wanderin' and I start judgin' myself. And it's rippin' me the fuck apart. You think I inject myself with all that shite and drink myself drunk because I'm a "tough Irish gal?" I do it so I can forget and move on with me miserable life. So there you are. The entire flawed package known as Cait, stripped bare for your perusal."
(Cait's dialogue) - ↑ Cait: "Have a minute? Got somethin' on my mind."
The Sole Survivor: "Of course, anything you need."
Cait: "Anythin' I need, huh? I might take you up on that one day. After Tommy stuck me with you, I was expectin' to hate your guts. Not only because you agreed to pick up me contract, but because I was waitin' for you to order me around like hired help. Now so far, you've been treatin' me like a friend. Hell, you've been damn near NICE to me. Now I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but your kindness is startin' to make me wonder. If there's anythin' I learned at the Combat Zone, it was that nobody does things for other people without expectin' somethin' in return."
(Cait's dialogue) - ↑ The Sole Survivor: "Why judge yourself?"
Cait: "Me parents sold me into slavery, but did they deserve to die for it? Yeah, I took some hard knocks as I was growin' up, but they fed me and kept me from glowin' with rads. This is the kind of crap that starts me mind wanderin' and drives me literally to drink. I guess I'm just waitin' to hear what you think of me now."
(Cait's dialogue) - ↑ Cait: "I never thought I'd be sayin' this, but I... well, I really need your help."
The Sole Survivor: "Anything you need, Cait."
Cait: "I was hopin' you'd say that. We're friends now, which means I can trust ya with anythin'. I'm also hopin' it means you've got me back... 'cause I need it now more than ever. I'm... I'm sick... and I don't think I can hide it from ya anymore."
The Sole Survivor: "Okay, calm down and take a deep breath. If you're sick, I want to help you."
Cait: "Okay, okay... it's like this. Ever since I left home, I been usin' Psycho. I dunno why I'm still takin' that crap, but I can't stop... and believe me, I've tried. I can't even go a day without it anymore and I'm fuckin' sick and tired of it. I've even been doin' it behind your back.... sneakin' doeses when I think you aren't lookin'. Worst of all, it's been makin' me sick. I've been spittin' blood and I don't feel right inside. I need to get this shite out of me system before I wind up dead."
(Cait's dialogue) - ↑ 14.0 14.1 The Sole Survivor: "Well, that's the past. You're not alone anymore."
Cait: "Then maybe you know what I'm tryin' to say to you. My life's been nothin' but one huge failure after another. You've heard all me stories and you know the prices I've paid. There were a few times... when things got really bad, that I... I found meself starin' down the barrel of me own shotgun. I don't why I didn't pull the trigger. I guess I was prayin' that I could find a single decent scrap of humanity in this fucked up world. And then... what you did for me back there at Vault 95... it was like the answer to those prayers. That's the first time in me life I fully depended on someone else and they didn't let me down. Goddamn it, I'm makin' a mess of this..."
(Cait's dialogue) - ↑ The Sole Survivor: "Can your psycho addiction be cured?"
Cait: "Normally, a wasteland doc could handle it, but I've been usin' the stuff so damn long they can't help me anymore. There's only one other way I know, but it's not gonna be easy. There's supposed to be a vault somewhere out here... a place called Vault 95. I've heard that Vault-Tec used it for some kinda social experiment... stuck a bunch of junkies inside to poke and prod. Well, they supposedly had some special method to clean up those blokes in there... some kind of a machine or somethin'. If we could get inside, maybe that machine could help me."
