Notes

  • This perk's effects still apply with Dogmeat as an active companion.
  • It seems that the player character needs to fast travel or wait a certain amount of time for the effects of the Lone Wanderer perk to take effect (i.e. for damage values to change) after a companion is dismissed.
  • This perk is unique in offering actual damage reduction instead of a set amount of damage resistance. It offers an increasing amount of effective damage resistance depending on the player's damage resistance. The only other perk that offers actual damage reduction is Attack Dog. Combining the two perks can lead to a powerful combination.

Behind the scenes

The perk is named after the Lone Wanderer, the player character of Fallout 3; the icon is modeled after its ending cutscene.
