Who are The Outer World's companions? No Obsidian game would be complete without some traveling buddies joining you in your journey. The Outer Worlds is no different: this refreshed take on the New Vegas formula boasts a diverse cast of comrades you can find and add to your party, each with their own abilities and delightful disposition.

People around town will mention a practising vicar if you chat to them, and inform you about his 'new' way of thinking. Once you deliver the text Max heads to your ship, The Unreliable, and will be available for use once you wrap up your business in the first hub. Max boosts your hacking skills and his ability, Trickshot, fires a shotgun blast at any given opponent, accompanied by a clever quip.
