Started to replay FO2, been years.
Cant remeber though, do companions use armor?
Sulik has a leatherjacket in his inventory, do this mean he gain AC and DT bonus from it?
If I give him a combat armor will he use that insted?

In FO1 my companions was lambs to the slaugther. However I do recall that they had a better chance in FO2.

In Fallout 2 they use armor. Just give them the armor you wish them to use through trading/bartering, then go to their combat tactics screen (or whatever they call it, can't remember) and you can activate it there. If I remember correctly, when the armor is visible in their inventory that means they are not wearing it.

*Talks to Sulik*
*Oh there a button*
Thanks! :icecream:

You can go and DL the FO2 restoration project, it has the armor project built into it.

So you can see your companion actually sporting there new armor.
