NAME: Zac

FOUND : In the Cola Cars Arena, near the bumper car display

COMPANION PERK:

RAZE HELL: Zac’s training as a Brotherhood scribe gives him a knowledge of combat tech that goes beyond that of most raiders. Gain a +20% damage bonus with Energy Weapons as well as +15% DR when wearing Power Armor.

WEAPON OF CHOICE: 

CUTTHROAT [default melee weapon]: Customized Disciples blade. Causes additional bleeding damage.

PAINT IT RED [default ranged weapon] : Customized laser rifle. Random chance to cause Bloody Mess effect on critical hits. Increased chance to trigger Bloody Mess if the perk is already active.

I THINK WE SHOULD TRAVEL TOGETHER:

Low Affinity:

“There better be some good loot this time.”

“I guess it beats staying here all day, sitting on my ass – which is fanstastic, mind you.”

“Just try not to burst into tears when I’m rude to one of your little wastelander buddies, yeah?”

“One extra meat shield between me and the ferals. At least I don’t have to pay you.”

Neutral:

“They never stay away for long.”

“What? Got bored without me?”

“Try to keep up.”

“[with some admiration] Still kickin’? [mumb]Guess I owe someone caps now.”

High Affinity:

“Wanna fuck some shit up?”

“I knew you’d miss me.”

“Nothing like taking caps from wasteland losers with you, darlin’.”

“Gotta admit, scramblin’ about the wastes is more fun with you around.”

USE MELEE:

“Showtime.”

“Right in the middle of the action. That’s where the real fun is.”

“Ooh, old school. I like your style.”

“Heh, love the look on their faces when I get to ‘em.”

USE RANGED:

"You think they can’t handle this up close? …Can’t blame ya.”

“Let’s see if I can get some heads popping.”

“At least I won’t have to worry about getting the blood out of my hair.”

“If you insist. But just so you know, I’m prettier up close.”

OPEN INVENTORY:

"Feel free to take some of the heavy junk.”

“Want me to carry some of those heavy, cumbersome caps for you? I’m game.”

“Got a sudden urge to give me your valuables?”

“Time to split the haul.”

IF OVERENCUMBERED:

“Unless you plan on carrying me around bridal style, we’re not gonna be moving anytime soon.”

“This is beyond my paygrade.”

“Look, I like loot as much as the next guy, but this is ridiculous.”

“You see a sign around my neck that says ‘PACK MULE’? No? No.”

STAY CLOSE:

“Can’t stay away, huh?”

“You could at least buy me dinner first.”

“I’m not exactly the cuddly type, but I make an exception for people who pay me.”

“Like what you see?”

KEEP DISTANCE:

“I’ll just be over here, keeping an eye out for danger. And caps. But mostly danger.”

“Has it been that long since my last wash? In my defense, have you ever tried finding  a working shower out here? One without Mirelurks?”

“Allright. If something tries to eat you I’ll be sure to cheer you on from aaaaall the way back there. ”

“Just stay within hearing distance so I can find you if you get shot. Or at least get the loot off your corpse. No point in letting it go to waste, right?”

STEALTH:

“[chuckles darkly] Time for a surpriiiiise.”

“They won’t know what hit ‘em. ”

“If some of the good stuff here just so happens to slip into my pocket…well…”

“Do this a lot, your ass is gonna look like it was chiseled from marble. I would know.”

BACKUP:

“Allright.”

“Good, I wasn’t looking for a snuggle either.”

“[flirtatious] Usually they  ask for the opposite.”

“Yep, too close for comfort.”

BE PASSIVE:

“[sneers] Maybe if we ask them real nice they’ll stop shooting us in the face. What d’ya think?”

“Oh, sure. I love… peace and all that shit. Totally.”

"Hey, if you want to pay me for not kicking ass...”

“Do you want me to get some paint for you? You know, for the target on my back?”

BE AGGRESSIVE:

“Oh thank God. No pussyfooting around.”

“That’s the spirit.”

“Gladly.”

“Good to know you get how things work around here. Can’t say that about everyone.”

USE STIMPACK:

“Much better.”

“Good as new.”

“I’m worth more in one piece anyway.”

“Hey, scars are sexy.”

WAIT HERE:

“Allright, but just a head’s up: If you skip the bill I’m breaking your legs. Haha! Just kidding. [snorts] [to himself] Like I’d let you live.”

“[sarcastic] Oh, no, I get to sit back and relax while you verge into some murder cave full of garbage or whatever. I’ll try my best to live through this hardship.”

“If you need me, I’ll be counting the caps we got so far.”

“Don’t have all the fun without me.”

FOLLOW ME:

“Your wish is my…[snorts] Yeah, no, couldn’t say that with a straight face.”

“Partners in crime. Profitable, fabulous crime.”

“I got ya.”

“They’ll shit their pants when they see us two coming.”

DISMISSED:

“Try not to get killed, sweetheart.”

“[joking] Aw, and here I thought we were had something going.”

“Wham, bam, thank you mam, huh? Well, if you want more of this…you know where to find me.”

“Shame. Thought you’d last longer. Maybe next time.”

SEND THEM HOME (FOLLOWER BASE):

[SENT BACK TO NUKA WORLD]

“Hope the next fight in the Arena is better than the last one. Farmboy went out in one go. Snooore.”

“If that Nuka Cola jingle gets stuck in my head again, I’m busting the damn speakers.”

“Back to the land of dreams… if your dreams smell like rotten candy and piss.”

“Maybe it’s time. I swear,  the losers don’t get anything done without me. Can’t tell a circuitboard from their own dicks.”

[SENT TO SETTLEMENT]

“What- there? Just gonna send me to the ass end of the Commonwealth. [huffs] That’s cold.”

“Oh come on, really? Did I piss you off or somethin’?”

“I’m a raider. Raaiiideeer. Sitting on a dirt farm in the middle of nowhere ain’t really my style. Just sayin’.”

“[grumbles] Fine, but if someone tries to make me pick tatos I’m quitting.”

ENEMIES (LONG RANGE - OR COMPLIMENTS ON PLAYER CHARACTER’S CONFIRMED KILL USING A SNIPER RIFLE ON LONG RANGED TARGET)

“Boom!”

“And the crowd goes wild!”

“Natural selection, baby.”

“[laughs mockingly] Come on, were they even trying?”

ENEMIES (CLOSE RANGE)

“Try me, loser.”

“This ain’t my first rodeo!”

“I fucking love my job.”

“Oh this is gonna be fun.”

“I’m calling dibbs on this one!”

“Hell yeah, we like it rough ‘round here!”

ASSISTANCE: helps nobody/helps allies/helps friends and allies

AGGRESSION: aggressive/not aggressive/very aggressive/frenzied

CONFIDENCE: cowardly/cautious/average/brave/foolhardy

LOSE AS COMPANION PERMANENTLY:

Betray Nuka World Raiders:  If  you attack the raiders in Nuka World, Zac instantly becomes hostile.

Giving the Brotherhood of Steel control over the Commonwealth:  Zac will express his disagreement and return to Nuka World, whereupon he becomes unavailable as a follower. If he is later spoken to he will say one of the following lines:

“I said my part. Scram.”

“What, already getting tired of the tin cans? Or did they get tired of you? [huffs] You deserve each other.”

“Sorry, but I’m not looking for a lap dog. Now beat it, Fluffy.”

“Huh, my boots are looking a bit dusty. Care to give ‘em a good lick while you’re here? Or is that service of yours a Brotherhood exclusive?”

Lose too much Affinity: Like most other companions, Zac will leave if his Affinity drops too low.

Affinity raiting can be raised by:

picking locks

choosing aggressive dialogue options

successfully hacking terminals

helping the Nuka World raiders

stealing (does not include pickpocketing)

overloading the spaceship ride during the Nuka World quest: “Trip to the Stars”

killing miscellaneous (non-Nuka World) raider bosses in the Commonwealth (Bosco, Jared, Sparta, etc.)

successful haggling

passing most speech checks

walking around naked

Affinity is lost by:

choosing pacifist dialogue options

failing haggling speech checks

failing intimidation speech checks

helping settlers (cancelled out if payment is received upon completion)

accepting Brotherhood quests (dislike for completing miscellaneous quests, hate for completing main quests)

giving caps to either the Pillars of the Community or the Hubologists

assigning him to farm work when left in a settlement

getting caught in any criminal action

planting brotherhood flags in settlements

giving caps to NPCs (does not include bribery)
