i am going to get her because she is skilled in small and big guns and energy weapons, also she has high DR and hit points. i was thinking of giving her the metal blaster because according to wiki sometimes it will do extra damage outside of vats. not sure if this extra damage will apply to sidekicks.

if you have had star as a sidekick what weapons do you give her?

She's died on every playthrough except my current one as i don't plan on recruiting her this time, i find her to be annoying and far too opinonated and as with all followers they rule out always being tactical and giving positions away.
