If there were to be some form of a giant all hell breaking loose fight between all of the companions in all the fallout games (not including the main characters, just the companions) who do you think would win?

Boone sniping them all from a mile away or Veronica just killing everyone with her power fist. MAYBE Charon with that combat shotgun of his. I've watched him solo deathclaws and it's impressive.

Charon with that shotgun is pretty damn lethal, you are not wrong there sir lol.

I would bet my money on Boone sniping them all but only those in New Vegas as I haven't played Fallout 3. This Charon guy sounds badass af though.

Charon is awesome. I wouldnt bet him beating Fawkes from fo3 but he's still really awesome.

The incredibly intelligent Deathclaw? One of the super smart mutants? See there is a big problem with this question, as it implies a free for all, but that would mean every opponent sees one another and has an equal chance of winning. Not just Veronica armed and everyone else has no idea shes there.
If your talking about a battle where everyone is at there best then it comes down to either Marcus, Goris, Fawkes, Jericho, or Arcade Gannon.

Arcade has enclave training and knows his way around energy weapons. The enclave armour and a plasm weapon make him a very dangerous opponent. I can see him being a strong contender for victory.

Goris is an intelligent Deathclaw. Besides being able to speak, he is still a fucking deathclaw. You know, those huge lizard like monsters that are so dangerous Death is in their name? Add an advanced intellect and you got yourself a great contender for the prize.

Fawkes has a good chance because of his gatling laser. Plus he's large, smart and tough. The only thing that hinders him, is that he cant move very fast when he is firing the gatling gun.

Marcus is a veteran of the Masters Army, a survivor of Fallout 2, Former Mayor, and protector of a mountain town. He has seen his fair share of battle and is just one badass MOTHER FUCKER. Being a mutant he is powerful, and has survived more battles than most of the other companions in the series.

Jericho is the wild card here. Yes he is 65, and older than most of the other human companions from the games. But he is 65 and has lived in the Wasteland his whole life. He was a raider, and survived to reach his 60s. The guys got to be hard to kill for lasting this long with an attitude equivalent to that of a death claw shot with a bb gun. His age aside, the guys got a good chance at surviving this fight provided he isnt ganged up on.


People who I think have little chance of winning? Boone, Veronica, Any of the dogs, Butch, and Ed-E.

Boone is a sniper, so reloading already poses a problem in this fight. Boone is a great companion, but in a fight where he has so many targets kinda poses a problem. As soon as someone realises "Hey that guy has a sniper" he's gonna be target number one. Why? Not only is it a loud weapon, but it can take out those who are not in power armor with a single shot.

Veronica likes punching things....Good for her. You know who else likes punching things? DeathClaws and Supermutants. Think ya can knock one of them out? Veronica, your a fun bubbly little character to have on a team, but in a free for all with a bunch of heavily armed companions. Your not gonna have much luck.

I love the dogs in the games, their mans best friend after all. But, their against enemies with guns, claws, and various other weapons. Your really gonna let a dog face off against a mutant? And expect him to win? Good luck with that.

Butch is curious as to whether or not there are dragons out in the Wastes. He has a pistol and a switch blade. And is a afraid of bugs. It will be a wonder if he isnt the first guy killed when this starts. Unless he hides throughout the fight in the corner.

Ed-E, is an eyebot. He is has the advantage of being a small target, and fast. However, he is against some pretty heavy hitters and they just need to see him once to go right after him. Like the dogs, he just doesnt have the fire power to win this.


"But Zombie, Boone has a rifle and is a member of the NCR/ Veronica is brotherhood/ Dogmeat killed a deathclaw for me once." - Random Argument.

Boone has a rifle that makes a lot of noise, and unless this isnt a fair fight meaning everyone is standing still while Boone takes pot shots, he doesnt have a good chance.
Veronica still only uses her fist!
Dogmeat is still going against 2 intelligent Supermutants, A nightkin, 2 robots, an eyebot, and a Deathclaw. So.....yeah good luck with that.

"But Zombie, what about all the other companions?"- Another random argument.

I have considered that. And they fall under the maybe pile. They have a decent shot at winning, but their chances are not as good as those mentioned above.

Zombie I like your argument and your choices, I knew goris, fawkes and marcus would most likely make the list, but jericho didnt really come to mind immediately. I thought of Raul who though who in similarities has been shot to hell, crawled back to town and lived after fucking up a dozen ass holes before though. Talk about a survivor, man survived his house being burned down, chased off by refugee ass holes, and how many gun fights? I think he's one of those ones that people over look in that case.

Actually Raul came to mind, but then I remembered, while he is a badass, he complains a lot about body pain and weak knees. Raul is a great companion and a badass, and I have no doubt that he would last a while in this free for all. However, his weapon is a six shooter, and his armor doesnt seem to do much for his defence. Raul is only not in my group of possible winners because of his weapon. It can pack a punch sure, but as soon as he drops one or two guys, he has got a bunch of other pissed of people after him. However, Raul still has a good chance, thats why he's in the maybe group.
Same with Ian. He isnt anything special, but the fact he held off a bunch of the Masters army for the Vault Dweller kinda makes him a dangerous contender. However, he is in the maybe pile for that reason. He clearly isnt a very smart guy, plus he is armed with a sawn off shot gun. Reloading is an important factor to consider in this fight.
Charon is a great contender but is stuck in the maybe pile because of his Hieght and Weapon. A combat shot gun is a great weapons, but takes some time to reload and makes a lot of noise. Him being a tall tough son of a bitch makes him an easy target as well.

I do have one more person to add to my list though. Though this list is the No chance in hell of winning list. And only has one person.
Myron.
Genuis Teenage whore loving obnoxious little shit. He is basically a free meatshield for whoever gets to him first. Words cannot describe how much this guy annoys me. To me, he is like what if Sticky from FO3 was a companion.

Fawkes would win, I believe. Laser Minigun + a ton of HP as well as a high amount of damage reduction.

I once fired the MIRV at Fawkes as a test just to see if he'd survive. Not only was he unfazed, I think he still had more than half his health it's been so long since I did this so I might be a little fuzzy on the details. But Fawkes was angry enough to finish me off. So yeah I do think he has a great shot of winning. So long as he isn't enemy number one on everyone's list.

Fawkes, hands down probably. But if Lily got lucky then you never know. Gotta love a grandma with gardening gloves.

a lot of great answers though. I think fawkes would definitely put up a hell of a fight, but then so will a bunch of others as well.

If it was down to raw power fawks and lily would win

Tank Farkas incoming , with gatling

I'd say Fawkes. Although if everyone wised up and focused him down first I'd switch to Boone. Because he'll be slinking around at a distance picking people off while they're distracted.

Not weighing her in as a choice or anything, but I'm surprised nobody's mentioned Star Paladin Cross.

Star Paladin Cross is a hardass indeed and seen a boat load of action, I just find her to not be as good as some of the others is all.

I'd have to go with either Jericho or Boone, Boone from a distance is lethal and Jericho doesn't quit (well until hes dead at least LOL)

If it were close range combat, Fawkes would be the clear winner. If not, then it could be a number of diff ones, like Boone or Arcade Gannon.

At default load-out, Fawkes would be my choice as he has a ton of hit-points and can deal-out massive amounts of damage.

If he were to be equipped with this:

Mercy:

Then he'd be unstoppable. Unless, of course, he ran out of ammo...
