5. Fallout 4 Do Companions Wear Armor

I've only been playing Fallout 4 for a couple of weeks when I can. I've got DOGMEAT wearing the Red Bandana. Which glasses can he wear? I've tried several different types but haven't found any he would wear. I've seen a picture of him that look like he's wearing RayBan Wayfarers (though I can't find it right now).

Who wants to travel the wasteland of post-apocalyptic Boston alone when you can bring a companion along? Some of you might, but for the rest of us, Fallout 4 provides a few options for getting a companion to tag along on your quests. These characters will help fight enemies, spot things you might have missed, and probably stand in a doorway staring at you for five minutes straight (which you can now fix by commanding them to go stand in a corner instead). Still, despite that last one being the worst companion perk possible, the first two make it all worthwhile, so here’s a list of the best characters in Fallout 4 and where to find them in the Commonwealth.

1. Armorsmith Extended. But if you’re looking for the most bang for your time spent installing mods.
2. Dogmeat is initailly encountered near the Red Rocket Truck Stop. You can give Dogmeat special canine armor you find in order to help boost his stats in combat. Doing so will allow Dogmeat.
3. Even dogmeat. They first need to wear a 'thin' armor/shirt first (like the Army fatigue, road leathers, etc; they usually already come with one in their inventory). Just give them the armor, then make them equip it by pressing 't'.
4. There’s a whole bunch of dogs related to Dogmeat in Fallout 4. So you won’t be able to get into any power armor suits or wear Kellogg’s jacket and jeans. You won’t even be able to use.

The Best Fallout 4 Companions

• Dogmeat – The first companion you meet in the game might be the only one you need
• Codsworth – Robot companion that has flamethrower and melee attacks
• Cait – Human companion that is handy with a shotgun
• Strong – Super Mutant companion that has strong sledgehammer attacks
• Nick Valentine – Android companion that has strong computer skills
• Paladin Danse – Human companion that wears Power Armor

Dogmeat

Dogmeat will probably be the people’s choice for best Fallout 4 companion on any list and is certainly a good and reliable companion in the game who can help in both combat and exploration. Luckily, he is also the easiest to find. Simply start the game and get the first real mission. This will take you to the Red Rocket gas station, the dog will walk right up to you. Ask Dogmeat to tag along and you’ve already earned a friend for life. Dogmeat will sniff out objects hidden around the wasteland, while also taking out enemies in combat with ease. His strong move is when he jumps on top of guys, which can usually end in their death, but also lets you pop off a couple of headshots. Plus who doesn’t love dogs?

Codsworth – Mr. Handy

Codsworth is one of the first characters you come across after awakening from your time in a 200 year slumber. After a bit of work this robot will offer to follow you around. He is one of the characters that can be found at Sanctuary, as long as you didn’t send him somewhere else. This robot companion has plenty of perks. Most of his attacks are melee in nature, except for his flamethrower which is a very strong attack. A good companion to keep around, Codsworth brings some levity to the experience of Fallout 4, flinging out robot quips and jokes about how his cleaning procedure is being activated by the disgusting nature of the wasteland. Definitely one of the best Fallout 4 companions on this list with a combination of strong perks and humor.

Cait

Not all your companions have to be guys. This sassy Irish lady can be found at Combat Zone where she spends her days beating the crap out of any Raider that dares walk into her combat ring. You should stumble across this while playing through the main missions, as it is just east of Diamond City. Clear the place out of all the Raiders and the local owner will offer Cait’s services to you. Cait’s strong perk is that she’s pretty good with a shotgun, so get her in close and she should help out with whatever you come across in your Fallout 4 adventures through the Commonwealth. Be careful though, Cait is pretty picky about who she travels with. Don’t bring in the caps on your quests, or deliver enough violence and bloodshed, and she might decide that you aren’t worth the time.

Strong – The Super Mutant

Wandering around outside of Diamond City, in downtown Boston? You probably noticed a new radio signal coming in from Trinity Tower. This is coming from a man that has been trapped by Super Mutants at the top of the tower. You’ll find Trinity Tower just east of Diamond City, near the public library and Trinity Plaza. Storm the tower, save the trapped guys, and you’ll also find Strong, a super mutant with a certain affinity for Shakespeare. Make it out of the tower with Strong and he’ll offer to join you as a companion on your adventures. A super mutant at your back should be quite good in Fallout 4’s wasteland. What are the perks for Strong, you ask? Well, he’s a Super Mutant and a pretty powerful companion. Be careful though, Strong doesn’t like it when you break through security, such playing the hacking or lockpicking games, and he seems to not be a fan of donning Power Armor on his quests.

Piper

Piper is Fallout 4’s version of Lois Lane. The intrepid reporter is always looking for a story, and you happen to be the best source in the Commonwealth for interesting ones. Found just outside of Diamond City, Piper helps you get in, by helping herself at the same time, of course. Once inside you can head to the offices of Publick Occurrences and speak with her. Give Piper an interview, telling her all about your frozen trip into the post-apocalyptic world of Fallout 4, and she’ll offer to follow you around as a companion.

Nick Valentine

Nick Valentine is another great companion in Fallout 4. This is because Nick is easy to find, has nice perks, as he is a big part of the main story. Just play the mission list involving the detective and you’ll encounter him, ultimately be able to have him tag along on quests. The reason he’s one of the best in Fallout 4 is because he has strong computer skills. With this guy following you around you’ll likely never have to hack a computer again.

This list of Companions are just some of our favorites, but there are a lot more to be found around Boston. Let us know in the comments who your favorite companion in this list is and where you found them. Your companions are just part of the equation in Fallout 4. You’ll also need to find the Best Weapons and Best Armor to survive.

As any fan of Fallout games can tell you, the vanilla features will only get you so far.

I mean sure, wearing the vault jumpsuit and a random Power Armor may be enough to get you through your first playthrough. And enough alternative armors are laying around to keep you busy for a while.

Fallout New Vegas Can Companions Wear Faction Armor

But eventually cosplaying a Raider will get old.

You’re always going to need more.

Luckily people realized this and modders of Bethesda games have had many years to perfect the art of tending to your every desire.

Whether you’re looking for the ultimate armor to make you feel like an Avenger, or just want to make the game a bit more risqué by modifying everyone’s outfits, someone has just the mod for you.

15. Vault-Tec Security Armor

Among my least favorite changes done to Fallout’s aesthetic after New Vegas are those done to vault-related apparel, specifically security armor.

Modder ThatSpartacusGuy seems to be in the same camp as me, and they’ve created this mod to give the Vault Security Armor a bit more grit and realism.

It simply takes the New Vegas-style Sierra Madre Security Armor and adds it to the game.

This cool-looking armor is quite customizable, starting with the decals on the front.

14. CBBE Skimpy Armor and Clothing Replacer

Look, I personally don’t like turning my Fallout 4 game into a Playboy magazine.

But a lot of people reading this are here just for that, and I owe myself to my audience.

That’s why I’m showcasing TyronJam’s CBBE Skimpy Armor and Clothing Replacer, which simply turns several vanilla outfits into very revealing versions of themselves to better show off Caliente’s Beautiful Bodies Edition.

It’s sexy, it’s a bit trashy.

And it’s everything you’ve always wanted in a single pack.

13. Vault Suit Utility Belt

On a more serious note, we have a mod that instead of completely destroying immersion like the previous one, will actually make the game more lore-friendly than before.

Modder SpiffySkyTrooper found the lack of a metal utility belt to go with the vault suit.

Like those seen in Fallout 3 and other entries in the franchise, to be a terrible conflict in Fallout’s continuity. To fix it they designed a new one from scratch, trying to mimic the game’s artistic direction.

The result is this sleek metallic belt that’s as shiny as it’s immersive.

12. HN66S SIRIUS.12 Assault Suit

And if you like covering your waistline with a shiny, metallic belt, why not go all the way and protect your entire body?

That’s what HumanNature66’s SIRIUS Assault Suit is here to accomplish, giving you a full set of lore-friendly robot-like armor that emphasizes your figure while also making you look very dangerous.

I mean look at those killer heels!

Not only that, but you can also wear regular pieces of armor over it. Making you virtually untouchable.

You’re a piece of art and they’re only allowed to look.

11. Sl00ty Vault Jumpsuit

Speaking of things that emphasize your figure…

You really can’t have a Bethesda game without people trying to make their characters absolute bombshells, and what better way to do that in Fallout 4 than making your default outfit much more revealing?

It’s just the default vault jumpsuit with ample cleavage and sexier textures that make your body look as if it barely fits inside.

It’s a must if you have the CBBE body mod, and it’s also the basis for many others.

10. MGS Beauty Beast Corps Armor

Continuing the streak of skin-tight jumpsuits comes the Beauty Beast Corps armor from Metal Gear Solid 4, now available in Fallout 4 thanks to modder Xarenth.

It may not be the most lore-friendly outfit ever, but it does look like something the Institute could come up with, so your immersion should be safe.

It’s just one of the many bodacious femme fatale outfits modded into the game, and one of the very best.

Re-live your favorite moments in MGS4 from an entirely new perspective.

Now we just need the Octocamo suit for male characters…

9. Commonwealth Shorts

Doesn’t anybody wear shorts in the Commonwealth?

It may be a post-apocalyptic Wasteland, but it must be hot sometimes!

To fix this un-immersive overlook on the part of the developers, modder DeserterX offers 16 new craftable outfits with shorts.

Not only can you survive in the summer, but you can also show off your legs, toned from never using Fast Travel.

Now it can be casual Friday every day.

8. Tactical Combat Swimwear

And if you want the ultimate summer Wasteland experience, you have to get Jmanumber1’s Tactical Combat Swimwear.

It’s tactical because… well, you’ll probably confuse and distract your opponents while also keeping your guns and other equipment handy, therefore getting some easy kills and a lot of clout.

Having a harness with your gear and a headset on makes running around half-naked much more immersive.

Add a watch and a Paracord bracelet and you’re essentially Lara Croft.

7. Courser X-92 Power Suit

Instead of covering yourself in protective gear, why not becoming more durable yourself?

That’s the fantasy sold by DeserterX’s Courser X-92 Power Suit, which will make you look like a state-of-the-art battle synth developed by the Institute to counter Power Armor.

This mod includes the full-body armor, goggles, a new PipBoy, and special craftable fusion cores that’ll buff you up tremendously.

All this gives you a chance against anything from a deathclaw to a super mutant without having to wear a bulky Power Armor.

6. Concealed Armors

Choosing between functionality and fashion has always been a challenge for RPG lovers, especially in games with so many gear options as Fallout 4.

With this mod by creator Nisas, you can now make your protective armor completely invisible, allowing you to endure the harsh life of the Wasteland without compromising your looks.

You’ll be 100% safe and 100% on fleek.

5. Cross Pre-War Cybernetics

On the other side of the visibility spectrum we have Cross Pre-War Cybernetics.

If there were robots before the war, why wouldn’t there be cybernetic implants?

Modder Niero offers the cyberpunk-inclined a chance to take on the Wasteland with a fully customizable cybernetic armor. Including robot arms and the like.

Other than choosing their color, the player may also add different gadgets and other modifications to their cybernetics, from a flamethrower to simple firmware updates to expand functionality.

It’s complex.

But that’s precisely what makes it so good.

4. K-9 Harness – Armor for Dogmeat

Few things are as cute and heartwarming as a K9 operative walking around fighting crime in their cool-looking doggy kevlar vest.

Thanks to this mod by prolific creator FadingSignal, you can now enlist Dogmeat to your personal police force and outfit it with a beautifully designed and very practical harness that’ll protect it from the dangers of the job.

Other than adding or removing the optional back and side pouches that give Dogmeat more carryweight, you can also choose the color and decorative patches you want on the harness.

Now this is what I call a “good boy”.

3. Eli’s Armour Compendium

Like many things in life, armor mods are usually as good as they are convenient.

Instead of scouring the Nexus looking for a bunch of outfits you’ll grow tired of in a couple of days, why not install this pack with a truckload of looks designed by modding-celebrity Elianora?

With 50 new lore-friendly armor sets and 20 different accessories, you’ll never want new cool-looking outfits again.

2. Black Widow Armor and PipBoy

As you progress in Fallout 4, much like in Skyrim and other Bethesda games, you start becoming a true force of nature, killing and conquering any place you set your sights on.

To truly embody this fantasy of being an unstoppable force, you need gear that anyone can recognize a mile away.

That’s exactly what DeserterX offers with the Black Widow armor, an all-black grim reaper look, complete with a black PipBoy.

Not only is it the most badass mercenary armor ever, but the mod also includes a quest where you’ll take on the mantle of the Black Widow and enter the world of souls to fulfill the original wearer’s wish.

1. Armorsmith Extended

But if you’re looking for the most bang for your time spent installing mods, then Armorsmith Extended is the best deal you’ll find(and the bang comes at $0 so it’s really a deal!)

This mod by Gambit77 is one of the most endorsed in the Nexus thanks to just how much stuff it does to improve the armoring system.

Cached

You can now wear any kind of clothing below armors, any hat or helmet will be compatible with bandannas or gas masks… the whole modding system is redone for more customizability – and that’s not even half of it!

This is what the game should have been from the start.
