Lost Your Fallout 4 Companion? Here's How to Reunite in the Wasteland

Losing track of your trusty companions can be a common occurrence in Fallout 4. Whether they've wandered off during your adventures or you've simply misplaced them amidst the chaos of the Wasteland, fear not - there are ways to locate them and bring them back by your side.

Locating Lost Companions

When your companion seems to have vanished into thin air, it's time to take action. Luckily, Fallout 4 provides a couple of methods to help you reunite with your lost ally.

Using Console Commands for PC Players

For PC players, the quickest way to find a lost companion is by utilizing Console Commands. Here's how to do it:

Press the "~" key on your keyboard to open the Console.
Type "prid [input unique Companion ID]" and press Enter. Replace "[input unique Companion ID]" with the specific ID of your companion from the list provided below.
Next, type "moveto player" and press Enter.
Close the Console, and your lost companion will reappear by your side.

Each companion in Fallout 4 has a unique ID, making it easy to pinpoint them using Console Commands.

Using the Vault-Tec Population Management System for All Players

For players on all platforms, an alternative method involves using the Vault-Tec Population Management System:

While in your Settlement, open the build menu and select Power.
Navigate to the Miscellaneous section and locate the Vault-Tec Population Management System.
Build the system in your Settlement and interact with it.
Access the VIP tracker tab, where you can select specific or all companions and mark their locations on the map.

This method provides a more accessible option for players who prefer not to use Console Commands or are playing on consoles.

Reuniting with Your Companions

Whether you're using Console Commands on PC or the Vault-Tec Population Management System on any platform, these methods offer effective solutions for locating lost companions in Fallout 4. With your trusted ally back by your side, you can continue your journey through the Wasteland with confidence, knowing that you're not alone in the fight for survival.
