Companions in The Outer Worlds 2 are crucial combat buddies who bring their expertise to the battlefield in different ways.
For example, Niles has an ability that taunts foes to keep their attention on him so you can deal big damage, while the robot VALERIE can burst heal you and keep you alive. Finding upgrades for your companions makes things way easier as the game's difficulty ramps up, so they're important in your quest.
