View source for Wasteland 3 companions

[[File:Bg.jpg|right|300px|thumb]]
This page covers '''''Wasteland 3'' companions''' AKA '''recruits'''. You can have four Rangers and two additional companions (the aforementioned recruits) in tow. Recruits aren't ''technically'' Rangers, but they want to assist you all the same. 

Ranger Allegiance may change and is rated on the following scale:
*Rebellious
*Disgruntled
*Uncertain
*Loyal
*Steadfast

Levels of new recruits somewhat scale to the level of the party (e.g. when Scotchmo is hired while most party members have lvls 12-14, his level is automatically increased to 12 with extra stat points available for distribution). 

==List==
* [[Fishlips]]: A cannibal and raider warlord.
* [[Pizepi Joren]]: A mutant researcher from [[Darwin]].
* [[Ironclad Cordite]]: Former leader of the [[Scar Collectors]].
* [[Jodie Bell]]: Ranger companion and the only competent driver this side of the Rockies.
* [[Marshal Kwon]]: [[Patriarch's Marshals]] companion.
* [[Lucia Wesson]]: [[Hundred Families]] companion.
* [[Scotchmo]]: Well, he's Scotchmo.
* [[Victory Buchanan]]: Found at Aspen. A terrifying psychopath and disgraced son of [[Saul Buchanan]].

A single companion was planned and cut, [[Jane Doe]], from the [[FADER]] collective at [[Cheyenne Mountain]]. Gone together with the rest of the location.
