Outer Worlds companions ranked
What is the role of The Outer Worlds companions? These non-player characters follow the Stranger around and assist in completing quests and combat.
They also increase the player character's own inventory space as opposed to having their own.
The game lets you play any sort of character you want. Each character brings something unique to the party, and your play-style might align with some companions more than others.
Players can have two companions at the same time, and they have their own perks and alignments.
Unfortunately, there are no The Outer Worlds companions romance. Although you can recruit Companions to join your crew aboard The Unreliable, there is no way you can engage in any sort of serious relationship with them.
Although you can play with the Outer Worlds characters of your choice, you must admit that you are not perfect at everything. That is where companions Outer Worlds come into play, and we have ranked them for you below.
6. Nyoka
