An assembling squad

Overview[]

Recruits are members of the player's squad. They can be swapped out at any time through the Yeoman at Brotherhood bunkers. They will retain any equipment, stats, and other permanent changes made by the player.

Recruits in the campaign are generally built around a specific archetype, and the usefulness of this archetype varies, sometimes greatly, according to the mechanics of the game. Lower level recruits will level up alongside the main character, the Warrior, and will remain competitive with later recruits. To compensate for this, many of the higher level recruits have unique builds and in some cases outright break the rules of the game to make them a valid choice (eg. Clarise).

List[]

Campaign[]

The following recruits appear in the course of the campaign and become available as the player character advances in rank. Campaign.txt indicates that the original intention was for the player to start with a full six-person squad composed of Robin, Jax, Stitch, Farsight, and Torn. This was reduced to just Stitch and Farsight, with the remainder added to the initial recruit pool.

Other recruits are added as the player completes missions. The player character's rank determines which one of these are available for recruitment once they're added to the recruit pool.

  • The initial pool consists of the aforementioned ex-starters plus Trevor, Kevin, Brian, Rage, Rebecca, Ice, Jo and Mandy.
  • Completing Rock Falls (mission 3) will add Target, Keith, Stein, Stumpy, Stoma, Stevie, Beth, and Sharon. Fleetfoot and Slicer were supposed to be added after completing a secondary objective, but were not properly implemented.
  • Completing Quincy (mission 6) while saving the ghouls will add Babs and Billy Bob, both ghouls, to the pool. Frank was supposed to be added to the pool, but like Fleetfoot and Slicer, the game does not properly add them.
  • Completing Mardin (mission 7) will add Creeper, Pain, Hurt, Malice, Boomer (raiders), Dillon, Harold, Martin (ghouls), Max, Alice, and Ed. If the deathclaw matriarch survives, the pool will also receive Shaav, Krldraav, Shriek, and the Matriarch.
  • Completing Osceolla (mission 11) will add Chuck, Pump, Toni, Bob, Cookie (super mutants), Kaisa, Fran, Karl, John, and Vector.
  • Completing Newton (mission 15) will add Mac and Dos, (Reavers), Debbie, Slim, shaky, Peta, Box, and Clarise. Hardrive and Seedee were also supposed to be available, but the game doesn't properly add them.
  • Completing Canyon City (mission 17) will add HR-1205.

Additionally, four other recruits can be collected in special encounters at any point: Pipboy, Riddick, and the Grimm brothers.

List[]

The following list breaks down all characters available for recruitment. The Type column is the intended character type according to the game's files, which might not correspond to the effective build according to the stats and skills, and might be completely different from the character bio.

  1. Normally a ghoul-only trait
  2. Clarise is arguably the most powerful recruit available to the player
    as her build breaks the game rules: she has three traits out of a max of two
    perception one point above the racial max and TWELVE perks (normally
    at level 22 with Divine Favor she should only have eight).
