Fallout 4 Guide: Where To Find All The Companions

Companions are a great resource for you to take advantage of in Fallout 4. Those are characters who can decide to help you based on the way you deal with them: if they love you, they will help you as well, so it's up to you to deal with them properly. You can see below a list of companions you will meet throughout the game, with their specific properties, pros included, and the locations where you will find them.
