I've only used Raul, Arcade and Lilly briefly. Until I can afford brush guns I put Cass on a hunting shotgun (then the Dinner Bell once earned) and just leave Boone with his hunting rifle. 45-70's into a mere radroach, but I guess a wastelander's just gotta live with that. I cringe a little whenever Boone or Cass unloads a volley of (expensive!). As an aside, I equipped her with a Heavy Incinerator at Black Mountain and she said 'I'd be better off with a pea shooter.' Veronica: AER14 (she's absolutely deadly with that thing, and does some nice runnin' while gunnin' stuff too) PushyĬass: Brush Gun actually, for whatever reason, I usually keep Cass on ranged so haven't even really tried her out with melee/unarmed. I've never been much of an unarmed/melee guy so my testing out of those kind of weapons was admittedly pretty limited.Īnyways, I finally settled on the following preferences: Or how Veronica seems to be way more effective with the AER14 than the Q-35 modulator. I was a bit surprised a couple times, like with Boone's apparent fondness of the Pushy. Mainly ranged, and mainly unique and high-powered stuff. I've tried out various weapons with the 3 companions that I've concentrated on in FONV - Veronica, Cass and Boone. I like the companions in FONV sooooo much better than in FO3.

I searched around a bit but couldn't find a previous topic on this, but if this is old news please just link me to that prior discussion.
