Anyway to help make companions viable in early game supernova?

[Kag]

Literally on the first mission after getting Parvati and she dies in a couple seconds to a hooligan lol. This is pretty stupid since there's no way to tell her to stay in cover

[Du-Vu]

Keep her follow distance far behind you, make her ranged, use stealth? Kick her out of the party for now/avoid recruiting her and come back when you've got some better armour for her and higher Leadership skills? Not sure.

Yeah found the menu where i can tweak her range and weapon preference, ive definitely been more stealthy. Doing a more melee approach while she's ranged. It takes some adjusting but I'm managing now. Really wish there was a stay in cover type of command tho, she can get killed so fast still.

[midnite rule]

The Sneaky Companion Perk makes enemies less likely to target Companions.
You get a Companion Perk point every five levels (I think).

She's been a chad for me. A group of three robots at the Geothermal plant killed her but after I killed them she regained her health and stood up. I then switched her from "Aggressive" to "Defensive" cause she started engaging as soon as I walked in there, lol. But she actually seems pretty tough and useful. I did outfit her with better armor and guns though.

Yeah, but companions permanently die on supernova from what I understand.

Yeah after a little grinding at the start I got my companions caught up fast, they can still die pretty quickly in a hard fight, but our damage output is insane, like glass cannon fights.

Side note, I wish there was a way to turn off the companion skill cam, it gets very obnoxious.

Won't lie I haven't played the game in weeks, stopped when I almost finished with the planet Monolith or something like that, I have game pass again so i'll probably go back to finish it, but traversing that zone was no fun after a while. The games sadly lacking a lot of trademark bethesda depth (but so did fo4 in terms of dialogue). Still fun tho
