Follower Perks

  • These are perks that you can only have when a certain follower is with you.

    * Better Healing (Arcade Gannon): This perk causes all health-restoring items to restore 20% more health.
    * Enhanced Sensors (ED-E): This perk lets you detect enemies at increased range, and allows you to V.A.T.S.-target cloaked enemies.
    * Full Maintenance (Raul after finishing "Old School Ghoul" undocumented quest): This perk causes weapon and armor conditions to degrade 75% more slowly than normal.
    * Regular Maintenance (Raul): This perk causes weapon and armor conditions to degrade 50% more slowly than normal.
    * Scribe Assistant (Veronica): This perk lets you use Veronica like a portable workbench via dialogue.
    * Search and Mark (Rex): This perk causes nearby chems, guns, and ammo (and containers that have those items in them) to glow green when you're in camera zoom mode.
    * Spotter (Boone): This perk causes nearby enemies to glow red when you're in camera zoom mode.
    * Stealth Girl (Lily): This perk doubles Stealth Boy duration (two game hours instead of one) and increases sneak-attack critical damage by 10%. Note that you can have Lily wait somewhere out of the way while you're doing stealthy things.
    * Whiskey Rose (Cass): This perk increases your damage threshold by 2 to 6 points (depending on your Survival skill) when you drink whiskey. Also, you suffer no penalties for drinking alcohol or becoming addicted to it.
