How to Recruit Every Companion in The Outer Worlds

The Outer Worlds is a fun action RPG that introduces the player to many great characters. The companions of The Outer Worlds are not only well-written and fun, but also very useful to have on your team. That is, if you know where to find them.

As such, we’ve put together this handy little guide to help players find all companions in The Outer Worlds. Here is how to recruit every companion in The Outer Worlds.

Parvati

Parvati is one of the best companions in The Outer Worlds. She’s awkward, funny, and can really pack a punch when things get tough. She is also one of the first companions that The Outer Worlds offers to players.

She can be found in the Saltuna Cannery on Edgewater. She’s pretty hard to miss, as the main story places you in direct contact with her.

Following a conversation with Reed Tobson, the player will be given a quest to find a power regulator. Parvati is just nice enough to offer a hand in helping out. Technically, she recruits you in a way!

This companion offers some melee damage to your party. This is beneficial for players who go for a more ranged approach to combat. She also brings the Overload ability to the party, as well as +10 Engineering whenever she’s your companion.

Vicar Max

The next companion that The Outer Worlds sets up is Vicar Max. This business-oriented believer is found in Edgewater’s church not far from where you meet Parvati. She even points you in his direction shortly after she becomes a companion.

The first thing that the player will need to do is speak to the Vicar. This triggers the side quest called “The Illustrated Manual.” Completing the quest and turning it in to him furthers his personal story. This allows the player to recruit him for the party.

While there’s far more to Max than first impressions would suggest, his party benefits are immediately apparent. Armed with his huge shotgun, his Trickshot ability allows him to make quick work of enemies. He also gives a +10 Hack skill when in the party.
