  1. I have been playing the game for about 6 hours and recruited Chris Haversam and ED-D. There is no such thing as “enchanted sensors” the perk is called “Enhanced Sensors” and your missing a bunch of companions-like Chris- there are a lot more then 8. If all of your other posts are full of misinformation like this one I don’t understand why you haven’t been banned from this site.

  2. how many followers can we have at a time? if i just leave boone in my hotel suit, and then ask someone else, would it work?

  3. Nick you are dumb, there are only 8 followers and you can never recruit chris because he is not a follower.

    Unfortunately Nick, after your rant, Mark is correct. And you should play more than 6 hours before you jump to your conjclusions. ‘Enchanted sensors’ perk is a minor typo so that can be forgiven. The companians such as Chris Haversam are temporary companians. They leave once the quest related to them are done. These 8 are the main companians that stay with you and the 8 you need for the ‘the whole gangs here’ trophy. As for ‘ToPsCaSiNoRoBbEr’ you can have one robot and one humanoid/Lily following you at any 1 time. I dont know yet if you can have all 8 at same time, such as leaving 2 at you safe house and taking another 2 with you etc. When i know i’ll post on here

  5. Hey.
    To nick, why do you have to have ago at a person who’s put up helpful info. He’s a nice guy an your tryin to put him down cos of a typo.
    To tops casino robber, I think if you send your followers back o the lucky 38 you can have them all at once. But thats about it. You cant leave them in random places.
    To anonoymouse(I cant spell), No idea, I think it’s hilairios my self.

  6. what ould probably be the best two followers to have at any given time? (considering the given perk and combat abilities)

  7. boone is the best follower. he can shoot a man from hundreds of yards away and get him in one shot, as far as his perk goes its the marksman perk which allows you to find targets easier by lighting them up red. Boone is your best ally when your in a fire fight and you need someone to stay back and snipe enemies from afar.. hes strong, quick, and hard to kill. if i were to choose any 2 to have with me it would be boone and rex hands down

  8. Rex is by far the best robot. Once he gets his new brain he’s a formidable character. It’s nice to have a ranged and a melee follower (Boone and Rex), but I’ve found that most fights are incredibly easy with Rex and Lily. Lily hits like a freight train, and, unlike Boone, I’ve only seen her unconsious once…Boone isn’t hard to kill if an enemy gets on him, it’s just that they usually can’t get close enough if both you and Boone are sniping. If you do go with Rex and Lily though, best to take the Spray and Pray perk, as they will both run up to the targets and beat on them, thereby getting in your line of fire if you’re a shooter.

  9. who is better Rex or Lily i normally dont take followers idk why not and thanks for the info mark and i thought there were 2 more followers cant rember there names but they were both girls and they were found in prim on the comp version of FNV

  10. theres more then eight people for one theres that weird mexican ghoul up on black mountain you nerds needa getta life its a game get over it and suck it

  11. But how can you get all 8?doesn’t says somewhere you can get only one companion at a time?please solution…

  12. As long as you do not finish Veronica Persona Quest (I could make you care) you can have 6 human companion and 1 Ed-e/dog. Here are the step you must follow.

    This glitch allows you to recruit all humanoid companions. You need to do this before the quest start.

    First, you need to trigger three conversations.
    Second, when you trigger the third conversation, Veronica will ask you Hey, you got a second? then reply Not now and the conversation will end .
    Third, dismiss Veronica.
    Fourth, recruit another humanoid companion.
    Fifth, Go to 188 trading post with that companion.
    Sixth, talk to Veronica and answer her with the following order What did you want to talk about earlier? Why dont you just go back on your own? I have things I need to do. Youd better be alone. Then the game will treat you as dismiss a companion.
    Seventh, talk to her again and recruit her, now you have two humanoid companions.
    Eighth, go to next companion you want to recruit.
    Ninth, repeat the step six and recruit the third humanoid companion.
    Tenth, repeat step six again and recruit Veronica. Repeat step eight to step ten again and again will allow you to recruit all humanoid companions.

  13. why doesnt it say what raul is good with? havent you ever given him a light machine gun, and watched as he kills multiple deathclaws, like theyre radroaches? well now you know. raul is my favorite cause he`s good with any weapon you give him. and he has the most interesting past.
