Do Companion Skill Rank Up?

Companions Skills Don't Rank Up

The ranks of each companion's skills are set and can't be ranked up, unlike your own. Companion Skills reflect their character while providing you with the benefits of the skills.

The particularly useful Companion Skills are the ones related to buffing your ship and the ones related to combat, as companions can assist you in battle.

NPCs Who Travel With You

On your journey throughout The Settled Systems, you can assign companions as crew who will go along with you on your ship and will always be there for you. Additionally, like in previous Bethesda games, you can open up your companions' inventory and have them carry items for you.

How to Change Companions and Crew

Companions Can Fight Alongside You

You can bring along one companion on missions to have them support you in combat. They can help draw fire from the enemy and lessen their ranks.

Combat Tips and Mistakes to Avoid

Assign Them to Work on Your Ship or Outposts

Companions and crew can be assigned to work on your ship or at various outposts across the galaxy. Doing this will enhance the efficiency of certain aspects of the ship and outposts, depending on their skills.

How to Build an Outpost

Crew Members cost only one-time payment

Additionally, there are also generic crew members that you can hire to maintain outposts and ships. They are separate from your selection of Companions and only come with a single skill.

These crew members only ask for a one-time payment, so you won't need to continuously pay them for operations.

Some Companions Are Romance Options

Some companions are possible romance options. You can enter into a relationship with these companions, and certain actions or decisions you do while playing the game may delight them, make them angry, or generally affect how they perceive you.
