📋 About This Mod

About this mod:

A lightweight and lore friendly mod that lets you pick up Automatron robots as secondary companions. Which means, you can have maximum of two companions at the same time. You can turn on and off this ability with an Aid item "Secondary Robot Companion". You'll automatically get one once you complete the Mechanical Menace quest.

And yes, I know there are quite a few other mods that let you have more than one companion, so please, no need to remind me of it.

I also added a voiced Mr. Gutsy to the mod. You can recruit it from the GNN Plaza. Since these robots are pretty tough, I've made the recruit quest to become available after you completed the main questline (Nuclear Option or Nuclear Family). If you'd like to start the recruit quest before completing the questline, open the console and type: CQF RC_GutsyRecruit Startup.
