companion system

The companion system provides an immersive way to recruit gang members as your companions, with tons of customizable content and dialogue options!

Companion system

🎮 Features

Now you can recruit members of the Van der Linde gang as your companions! Recruitable members include: **Javier, John, Bill, Hosea, Kieran, Sean, Charles, Lenny, Micah, and the newly added Uncle and Sadie after the 1.0 update! **

Just walk up to them and press the recruitment prompt, and your companions will assist you in battle, ride horses with you, rest in camp, fish together, and more! ...By the way, did I mention you can talk to them?

🎯 Interactive system

When you select a recruited gang member, a series of new options appear. Command options bring up a prompt-based menu that lets you change some basic Fallout-style settings, as well as return companions to camp.

The icon next to the companion's name represents his needs, using the camp icon for clearer identification:

• 🔫 Ammo icon: follower’s ammo amount
• 🍖Food icon: his health value
• ❤️ Health icon: will show his health in the future

Ammo is consumed during combat and can be "replenished" by targeting companions and using the "Give Ammo" prompt. For a better user experience, the ammo giving prompt will only be displayed when the follower needs it. Ammo type will be deducted from your inventory and given to the companion, with the required type based on his best weapon.

His stamina will regenerate while waiting for you or while engaging in recreational activities at camp.

🔫 Weapon granting mechanism

If you target a follower with a weapon, a prompt will appear allowing you to temporarily give him a weapon. The follower will use the weapon depending on the situation, which you can later retrieve in the command menu.

🐎 Immersive experience

Your companions will assist you in gunfights and melee combat. He'll also crouch with you, providing an immersive stealth action experience. While crouching, if you aim, the "kill" and "distract" prompts will appear, which are fairly self-explanatory commands.

Gang members will also sit next to you in the camp or tent you set up, and they will fish with you when you fish! Your companion will even comment on the new weapon you give him!

In addition...the entire module fully supports gamepad and keyboard operation!

⚠️ Known issues

When riding away from camp with a companion, they may sometimes fall off their horse.
