Allies Tier List & Overview - Fallout 76 

Why put a tier list in the thumbnail but not in the video

I use Commander De Guere, because on one of her missions I had a choice to free A.T.H.E.N.A and she comes to my camp every now and then as an asaultron that also sells items and will help protect my camp ... A.T.H.E.N.A is just cool to have pop up in my camp 😅

Tier List Breakdown Salmon's Medic Station Tier C Offers medical services (healing, rad removal) for a fee. Provides vendor services with a simple inventory. Maul Tier B Super mutant ally who helps with training. Sells Grognak the Barbarian and Unstoppables magazines. Provides a small bonus to melee weapon weight and strength. Daphne Tier B Offers a short-lasting buff (extra luck and directional audio near magazines). Sells Grognak the Barbarian and Nuka-Cola items. Joey Tier S Provides a strong buff (reduces damage, lasts 60 minutes). Sells Live and Love magazines, which are valuable for food buffs. Scarborough Tier A Offers a buff similar to Mothman's blessing (5% XP bonus, lasts one hour). Limited vendor inventory. Leo Tier S Provides powerful buffs using Nuka-Cola, particularly Nuka Shine for AP regeneration. Sells miscellaneous items. Sam Tier C Offers bulk scrap and some Nuka-Cola items. Buff allows repair of items to 130% of normal maximum condition (considered weak). Grammar Tier A Provides a buff that stops hunger and thirst for one hour. Sells rare food items and recipes. Catherine Tier D Sells ammunition and plasma cores. Provides a minor buff (increases perception, reduces energy weapon weight). Wanderer, Foragers, Beckett, Raider Punk, Commander Daguerre, Sofia, Cirque Saux, Yasmin Tier C or D Classic allies offering daily quests. Limited or no useful buffs or vendor inventories. Some specific uses (e.g., Beckett for Nuka-Cola for crafting).

Sam Nguyen has 5 different buffs. His 2x wood and 2x flora is the best buff in the game you can get about 400 berry mentats in around 20 min plus any other great flora such as digested goo. His downside is that it is a one out of 5 chance to get that and his other 4 buffs are no where near as good. They are 2 chr (weak), 130% repair to weps /armor (bad), 25% less workshop crafting cost (possibly good, i have not tested), and 50% less junk weight (mid). Lastly, his flora perk does stack with green thumb and woodchucker but i have not tried it with the magizine that doubles flora harvesting and i have also not tried it with the local verdant seson. These could result in a times 8 harvest or even a occasional times 16 harvest. This is something that would need to be tested but i will try to do that and when i do i will let you know the results. Sorry for the wall of text but i figured this info was worth sharing 👍

Also worth mentioning: Leo sells: Plan: Nuka Girl Area Rug - only available during the Holiday event. Plan: Nuka Cola Wall Clock - only available from the random encounter Responder Bot Plan: Nuka Cola Dark - Random reward from Biv's Daily. Maul sells: Tenderizer mod plans in case you missed it during Meat Week. Also Grandma and Yasmin sells some good pre-cooked food like Brain Bombs, combine it with the Freezer which makes it wonderful for lazy cooks like myself.

I've only used a handful of allies. Mainly who ever fits my camp best as decoration 😂

I really enjoyed Sofia's quest line. Somebody at Bethesda put some thought into her story.

For myself, an ally depends on the theme of your camp.

Since allies are static we should be allowed to place up to three in our camp at a time, mainly because I like their unique posts as decoration.😊 I agree we should only have one at a time if they followed us around the map as a companion, that being said it would be weird to travel the wastes mowing down super mutants with a child.😂 It’s not like we can’t switch them out as we please, it really isn’t super OP to have multiple at once. It also would be cool to have a big crowd at your camp.

Its worth a mentioning you can get the buff "Lovers embrace" sleeping near Beckett or Sofia if you romance them! Xp buff for 2 hours!!!

I wish they’d do an Ally update. It’d be cool to have one of the full allies and one of the lites at the camp at the same time. I’d also like Allies to be able to be placed in shelters so that you could theme a room in there around your ally like a drs office for Solomon

I'd say Sam's tune-up can give you 2x gathering of plants, very good for when you are farming for flux

If only bethesda removed the ally cap, camps will feel much more lively.

Good video, Turtle :) I'd probably rate Beckett and Commander Daguerre higher given that they both also provide the player with something incredibly rare nowadays in Fallout 76: playable content and storyline! XD I mean, that's at least a bump up to the B Category for both.

Do you guys have the same problem as I do when you switch camps, your allies are naked and they don't talk to you, usually in a public server, or they don't recognize you ?

We need a Mole Miner ally! Maybe their special bonus is collecting more ore from resource nodes that can stack with Excavator armor? Mole Miners have a underground society. With the presence of Treasure Hunters we can infer that they got an economy that has bartering like us. Since Purveyor Murmrgh exists, maybe there's other Mole Miners that are open to interacting with us

Daphne has different buffs - when you ask her at day (without the hat), you'll get extra levels of perception and a perk (finding extra canned goods). Also, today i learned you can stack those buffs by changing the allies after asking for the buff...

now we have adelaide, Adelaide's daily buff is known as Human/Robot Interfacing. It lasts for an hour. The player will take 25% less damage from robots, and do 15% more damage against robots and she grants the lover's hug too

In case you're wondering, Scarbury has no reaction to your camp being attacked by a vengeful mothman, but he will fight them. He also does not react to putting your camp inside the event radius of the mothman equinox, even when the dust is released, the sky changes colors, a rival cult's leader speaks into his mind, and his bretheren are murdered by you and a bunch of other dwellers. V.V;;; I tested it. Also one type of daily quest the Raider Punk can offer is the location of a cryptid. So if you're a big game hunter, or you're in the mood to fight something a bit harder. I got him to give me the location of a sheepsquatch and a vengeful mothman. Since sheepsquatch meat turns into some melee damage increasing food, you do want him available.

All of the allies buffs should last a lot longer in game to make them more beneficial to players. What is the point of a once only per day buff that lasts under an hour when most players play the game for several hours. If the buff are going to be this short they should maybe have a cool down period of an hour or so before they can be activated again.

Thanks for the list Turtle! I've been struggling to choose from all the new allies. This helps a lot.

Joey's buff is really good if you're a melee tank.

If you have 2 or 3 camps with a different ally at each one you only have to activate them to change allies.

I really wish guests aka other players could interact with the allies. Maybe not to get the buffs. But at least to buy stuff.

I have a camp built around the half plane prefab , I managed to put my hot tub on the roof of the plane only accessible by jetpack . Would that mean that the ally would not be able to reach their station making it far easier to Do the turtle ally swap buff technique??

Solomon is the best defender, he uses an automatic combat rifle, and throws grenades. Sam Nguyen is listed as carrying a combat rifle also, but he only used a wrench in my tests.

Joey will also often sell you the cuckoo clock plan and the marquee arrows. You can also get the paddle ball paddle from him (if you want to play with it lol) there is also a funny note you can buy from him sometimes called "GET RICH QUICK" it's just a note that says sell this note for 100 caps or something, basically encouraging you to sell your dumb note for 100 caps to "get rich" when you already bought it from him for that lol

To be fair, solomon is armed with a combat rifle, so he'd be perfect for a scorched earth event camp

I'm still very new, set up my first camp on the cliffs just south of the lighthouse, and recently got my first ally when the Settler Wanderer walked into my building. I enjoy having her guitar playing whenever I stumble back home.

Playing as a raider, I use Raider Punk in my CAMP. But I also think they should redo the allies stuff by allowing us to put one ally on our CAMP, and all our allies on our Vault, to make it more alive. Of course, you could only have one daily quest from them. But actually for me, it's a waste. Lot of allies I would never use because they don't purely fit to my CAMP theme, when I could park them in my Vault as random or slaves

Thanks Angry Turtle, this was a really useful video. Also, it's worth nothing that some of these Allies give a nice reward at the end of the quest chain. For Example, Beckett gives the "Final Word" heavy gun, which is a pretty nice weapon.

there IS a buff for commander deguerre. if you sleep in a bed, you get a buff called lovers embrace. it gives you a 5% XP buff for 3 hours

Ty , I’ve found 5, just started playing a month ago. About to hit level 50, soon and still feel like I’m clueless. I was wondering if there were more Allies. Mine don’t offer me anything, maybe I need to do more of their quests.

I recently got Maul and he's SO GOOD for my setup with the Carnivore mutation. He often sells Stingwing and Deathclaw meat which saves me having to hunt them for the strength buff, and he also often sells squirrel bits so I can keep a good stock of the tasty squirrel stew. Even better now that the cryo freezer is a thing so that I can just stash a lot of them!

imagine having 16 npc in your camp, that could interact with guests players

Daphne gives out caps buff too but during the day time, night time for magazines.

Grandma can give you an XP buff too, there were a few times where she wouldn't give me the bubblegum buf she can give you different fed buffs one of them gives you XP buff at least that is what happened to me yesterday

I'm fairly sure scarberry's xp buff stacks with the path to enlightenment buff if you have scarberry's first

I like to have allies active for extra defense as well. Would you know what weapons each different ally has and which one is best for combat?

Great video. Timestamps would be helpful though. The wanderer ally does offer the kindred spirit buff after you build your affinity with her. Once that happens, sleeping in your camp until you are well rested while she is active replaces the well rested with kindred spirit. It's a three hour +5% XP buff...so pretty good especially for new players. She also has some pretty good quest rewards. Subscribed.

I could understand the low bugf timers if you could talk to any ally in the game. Since you can only speak to your own allies, then the short timers make no sense.

I think of all of the things I have neglected in Fallout 76, allies are #1. I keep meaning to “Get around” to my allies so this is great subject. ❤🤘

So im still fairly new to the game. Outside of paying for him is there a quest line still available to get Leo or otger quest related companions. Thanks for your great guides @Angryturtle

Playing the Wander's instrument gives the AP regen buff as well.

Steven is S tier no doubt since his buff can stack with Leo and all other experience buffs

Do unstoppables magazines work or are they still broken?

All companions should be able to stay in a shelter. It would liven up the environment and you could take advantage of all the bonuses. Dress everyone in crypt clothes and a pipboy on their hands ;)

Leo's AP regen +25% is not that special, because you can only get it from him only once per day. You can get similar AP regen +25 buff (not +25%) many times during one day just by playing musical instrument to become Well Tuned anyway.

The advantage of Becket and Sophia is that you can romance them and when you sleep you get lover's embrace which last for 2 or 3 hours, I dont remember now, instead of the well-rested buff

Yasmin cooks up a mean turtle soup at my camp 👍 if you equip the Ogua back pack while eating the buff is you walk really really slow but can swim really fast just like a turtle 👍

I use the forager in my camp only because his attitude, look and demeanour fit with my camp. I don't use him for anything other than aesthetic look of a grumpy old man retiring in my cabin in the woods with memorabilia of hunts and mounted heads with a garden and hot tub. Nice relaxing place.

where do you find all these allies? i have like 5, haven't been able find anymore for a long time. i'm at level 173, is there a level requirement?

Xerxo is great when the Treasure Hunter event is on and you're bouncing around buying pails.

You can also romance Beckett, I'm juggling him and Sofia at the moment

Maul, occasionally has plans for tenserizer, salt, pepper and the last one I don't remember 😅

If you talk to Granny then store her chair (instead of scrapping it), can you then put down the next person's item or will it count as being in use?

Isn't Becket and Sofia the only 2 romance followers? You get lovers embrace which gives you a 3 or more hours of exp buff for sleeping

17:31 wow, before I even saw this video I was already doing this. But awesome video I didn't even know there was this many allies.

Leo Petrov also occasionally sells the Nuka dark recipe and the Nuka girl rug plan.

I enjoyed the video verry help full but I don’t have Leo I missed the score bord with him is there any other way I could get it or have I missed my opportunity for ever ?

Can you get the allies if missed them on the scoreboard, or if you’re just starting the game? (I have Beckett)

I have stuck with Beckett because of the interesting missions and large amounts of Nuka Cola.

With both Sofia and Beckett, if you romance them, then sleep in your camp bed, you gain the "Lover's Embrace" perk. Lover's Embrace replaces the Rested perk, however it will last for 180 minutes rather than 60. When sleeping, the player character will obtain one or the other, but not both. Experience gain is increased by five percent for the duration of three real-world hours.

commander de guerre, the chick with the guitar and the raider with the radio give you quests for legendary weapons. they have to be the best. do any others do legendary weapon missions?

Maul is a good ally if you’re melee. Not only sells Grognaks but meat, including squirrel.

Wow! That grandma buff is great.

You should have included an ally's combat ability and how well they can defend your C.A.M.P.

I would love to get more allies like Beckett with his own quest line, I did his missions with all my characters, 'cause I really love his story, but after we did it, he doesn't adds something special to the camp. I think his bar could add caps after some time passed or something.

Don't underestimate Mama Junko. She is fierce with that rolling pin!

You get a good .50 cal machine gun from Beckett quest as well.

Imagining turtle tackling grandma before she can sit on her chair, so that he can get her buff and then switch allies 😂

you forgot to include sleeping buffs. I'm pretty sure Wanderer gives you more XP from sleeping but not as much as a romanced Ally.

You can craft food that has poison resistance. Cave fungus soup you can craft from the cave fungus you get from the proletariat collectron. Your are the master Turtle!! Love ya!

You forgot about the fact that if you romance Sofia and go to sleep in your camp while she is an active ally (with romance) she gives you a 3 hour +5% bonus XP... the buff is called lover's embrace 💯💯💯

Steven's buff is obsolete now if you have the Mothman's Sacred Tome from the last Mothman Equinox. It gives the exact same bonus.

Some have trophies/achievements linked to them (Beckett fx). Interresting video btw!

Do xp buffs stack with xp food buffs?

honestly the Buffs should stay. this way we can choose which one we want to be at the camp

The only ally is the initiate since he’s the only one who’s gonna clean my power armor

Nice compilation. Thanks for breaking this down.

Scarberry (mothman enjoyer) selling blood packs which is usefull if you want to complete scout badge achievement with crafting antibiotics, blood packs is not that common and pretty hard to find or buy somewhere, so he can save you tons of time acquiring them

I have the doctor in my haunted house camp. He's in the mad scientist attic. Im more about theme than function.

I have gone with the raider punk for so long. I feel bad not having him. I always make a really nice room or tent for him in my camp. He has a nice bed he has games to play. He has computer set up to do his work, and almost every quest does give me a legendary and occasionally a three star legendary. I mean that’s 40 script so it’s not a buff and it’s only once a day. That said, I would love for someone to drop a nuke and hear him yell in my camp. Dammit I’m dropping a grumper what the hell?

There's also an asultron you can get as an allie

Yasmín is S-tier for low level players, she not only sells rare food but also recipes, which are super valuable when you’re starting out.

Which one stands on number one on the tier list? #BestAlly #TurtleArmy

The Wander Sleeps "Next" to you when you sleep at your camp and the xp buff last the longest in the game

Can you get the season pass allies back somehow? Im a veteran player from the start and just recently got back into fallout didnt do any of the seasons above level 10

5:14 bro really scrolled over Bulk Screws and says that he doesn't have great things for sale 😭

Turtle, do you have a build for the paddle ball weapon? Lol

i've seen yasmine go fight scorchbeasts by herself. mine has a laser pistol she got on her own somehow. never seen any other companion fight as much as her. 😂😂

The junk the sell helps complete bulk orders for challenges

Wander increases well rested time.

Does the new Mothman Tome item from the event make that Mothman Ally obsolete?

Unsure you noticed.. kathrine has 1400 caps .. you can sell to her. :o

How many of the allies allow repeated buffs per day? EDIT: I wasn't aware of the romancing XP buff users have been mentioning here. Learn something new every day! I'll have to do it when XP grinding. Leo: I've used his cranberry buff, but only once a day is a "boomer." As for AP, Fever Blossom tea is enough. Joey: his Live and Love resource is nice, but (I've heard) there's really only one way to get a sufficient supply of magazines and bobbleheads, which will not be mentioned. Steven: the Mothman buff is helpful for an hour - can it be renewed the same day? I've never used him. Quest allies: I've never gotten a good reward grinding them. Unfortunately, I'm not attracted to Daguerre. Yasmin: as a higher level player, I've got all the necessary recipes and have learned how to grind them effectively.

8:40 you can farm sugar bombs at that workshop north of that hotdog place in the forest

Leo can sell u Nuka Cola recipies: girl rug, cola recipe, nuka clock, etc.

They should make it where we can assign them crafting duties and they craft a little ammo or chems or whatever for a period of time.

Sofia gives you 10% experience boost. When you have loverst embrace, so I'll consider her ATR A.
